"Hold Me."

Lucky! ... It's been awhile, friends. I have been busy drawing, writing, and teaching. All good things, but I've been absent too long, so expect to see more from me real soon.

"Tales from Aeaea" is a 28-page collection of stories about the various citizens of Aeaea, the isle of Circe, goddess of magic. Centuries ago, Aeaea, the isle to which Circe was exiled, was a place imbued with her magic, and docile lions and bears roamed its woods. "Tales from Aeaea" is set in a universe in which Circe was celebrated, rather than scorned, and she embraced her exile, making the isle flourish. Its citizens are students of magic, world-spanning sailors, and many are descendants of the isle's enchanted animals of old.

Here's a sneak peak of a couple pages from Saturn and Egon's story (who you might remember from my previous zine, "Warlow's Guide to Wizards, Sorceri and Familiars Arcane", a sort-of prequel).

"Tales from Aeaea" will premier at the Small Press Expo, September 13 & 14. Come see me there, and stay tuned for more updates!

There are lots of things to love about springtime.  One being buttercups, which may be the cutest flower.  One thing not to love about springtime, is the explosion in the stink bug population.  I used to not mind them.  They don't do anything, they're slow and catch-able so you can banish them from your house.  No big deal!  But in the building I work at they are taking over!  To the point that one found its way onto my head, and now I mind them a little more.  Meanwhile, a coffee cup full of buttercups picked for me by one of my bosses' kids sits on my desk, and I just wished that if anything was going to be in my hair, why couldn't it be those little flowers instead of an imposing stink bug...

Last night was another Pizza Party After Dark at The Ottobar in Baltimore where The NeverEnding Story was shown and my poster was sold (also shirts!). It was a blast. If you're in the Baltimore area, get out here every last Sunday of every month for free movies, free pizza and rad screen-printed posters & shirts by Pizza Party Printing.

You can get said rad screen-printed goods and my NeverEnding Story shirt (poster coming soon) here!

Cotton candy magic wand pins are up on the store today (and in very limited quantities)! You can also pick up "Cauldrons & Casseroles" and my 2015 LOOT bags while you're there! 

Merry Christmas, little lightbulb fairy children.
