This years line up should be quite interesting as I’ve added another con to the list. Right here in good ol’ Austin! So without further ado, here they are in chronological order:

Look forward to seeing you all there!

Comic
Has not been cancelled, it is just on hold while a rewrite is pending, hopefully with a more exciting plot. I plan to post some concept sketches on this in the future.

It has been inquired as to what the rating of the comic is and will be. The intention is to keep it around a PG or an R (at worst) level. There will be some violence, like the kind you would typically see in your average Shounen manga. (E.g. Naruto, Blue Exorcist, Fairy Tail, etc.) You might see the occasional bad word. *gasp* But it won’t go beyond that. No, there won’t be sex, or even explicit nudity in the comic. Sorry to disappoint, for those of you who like that sort of thing, but its just not something I’m comfortable doing.

Commissions
I still owe people some commissions. One from Furry Fiesta and one from Anthrocon. I plan to get those wrapped up soon. Some people have asked if I will take a commission out side of a con, the answer to that is yes and no. If I have the time I will. And speaking of conventions….

Conventions
2012 cons have been decided upon. As usual they will be Furry Fiesta, A-Kon, and Anthrocon. Come hell nor high water will keep me away from A-Kon next year!

Other News
Saturday’s webcast let this cat out of the bag a bit sooner than I had planned, but I’ll go ahead and make it semi-official at this point. I’m planning on trying my hand at making a fur suit. Keeping in mind this is my first attempt I’m sure it will be terrible beyond belief, but I’m still going to try. I have no idea if I’ll get it done before A-Kon/Anthrocon, but I plan to try. For that matter, I don’t even have a solid concept down yet. It’s still a rough idea batting about inside my skull. I’ll make some regular updates on the progress of this as I go.

I also have made some arrangements, and will be turning over a goodly portion of the writing of my comic to a much more skilled author. Fear not though, I will still have the final say so in the scripts and will still be doing the art.

Unfortunately, as luck would have it, things at my office have gotten way out of hand and I now have to dye my hair back to some sort of simi-natural color and fly out to Chicago tomorrow. If I owe you a commission I’m sorry but this will delay me a bit. I swear I’ll get to it as soon as I get back at the end of this week.

Looking forward to next year’s Anthrocon!

Apparently A-Kon now conflicts with my plans to go to England, so needless to say I’m going to have to miss it again this year.

The Happy Grackle Trading Venture will be there as usual. They will have my books and I might be able to set something up to accept commissions if folks aren’t unwilling to have me mail it to them.

Anyhow! I have a couple of photos from the cons and several commissions I owe people, so expect some posts to my galleries in the near future. The con was quite enjoyable and I loved getting feed back from several people.

I got an interesting request to put together some tutorials and I have been contemplating the idea of doing a live video feed of me drawing and explaining how I do X or Y. I’d very much enjoy feed back on what sorts of topics this should cover.

Work is proceeding along, and I hope to have some stuff ready before Furry Fiesta (assuming I don’t kill myself trying to get to the printers in time….) Anyhow, I hope to see lots of people there…. In bell bottoms, and “Groovy” sun glasses. You dig it?

*gets punched back into the ’70s*

2011 Conventions

Currently I have plans for

• Furry Fiesta (Feburary — Dallas, TX)
• A-Kon (June — Dallas, TX)
• Anthrocon (June — Pittsburgh, PA)

I know that 2011′s Califur will be Post Apocalyptic themed, which fits the comic, but trying to justify the cost of getting out the CA as well as PA is just too much for the ol’ wallet to bear at the moment.

Comic Itself

Is NOT dead, I’m just struggling with the actual writing. I’m not very good at it so I have slow spots when I’m trying to figure out what to do next in the script.

There will be a Halloween comic up, I’ll broadcast the work on my Justin.TV channel. Stay tuned (no pun intended) for more details on that.

P.S.: I lied about the pun.

I look forward to next years, in which I will attempt to get a dealer’s table there.

Next up! ANTHROCON! I intend to try and get a another comic up as well as a few new pictures to try and sell prints of. Hope to see you there!
