Gods & Undergrads Recap - this week!

/
Hi guys! So I've got some news to share for my ol' Gods & Undergrads comic. You know how it's been plodding along, one page a week for a while now? Well all that is going to change! Starting (later) this week, I'll be posting multiple pages per week, all on the same day. I'm not sure which day that will be, per se, my schedule will have to dictate that. This is all ramping up in preparation of FINALLY FINALLY getting my third volume printed up, yippee! I'm aiming for a release date of Baltimore Comic Con/SPX-ish (i.e. September). It'll contain the last two chapters of Gods & Undergrads and it'll be all in black and white. Sorry about the lack of color, but I figured it was more important to get it done and out for now. AND if I ever do a Kickstarter project, you know I'll be tempted to make it about one massive colorful G&U book.SO in ramping up for this week's chunk of pages, I've created some one-page recaps for each chapter of the story so far. This is a way for people to start reading or catch up without having to slog through all the back pages. Not that there's anything wrong with slogging through the back pages, I just appreciate that some of you may not have the time for such things.

So here's the recap for the very first chapter of G&U, Book 1, Chapter 1! Chapters 2 and 3 will be up in the next few days!

Home again, home again

Whew!

I think I'm done for a little while. And by done, I mean I won't be traveling to exotic, far-off lands every other weekend. Now it's time to relax and make COMICS again! Hooray! So, sorry for the delay, but since I rolled back into town this week, all my Bonnie/Gods & Undergrads updates are going to be a wee bit late this week. Or "fashionably late", as I prefer to call them.

Allow me to say a hearty hello to all of you who came by to visit me at TCAF, holy crapola what an amazing show that is. If only all comic shows were in libraries and all of them packed to the gills with amazing readers! So much comics love and excitement all over the place, I got really spoiled. Besides having a fun time catching up with my pals Tim Fish and Greg Lockard, I ALSO got to be part of an amazing podcast DINTERVIEW (dinner + interview, according to Becky Cloonan) with Paul Pope, Becky herself, Glyn Dillon, and Jimmy Aquino of Comics News Insider. Li'l ol' me, chilling with some serious comics heavy hitters, trying to keep my laugh from being a cackle and attempt to add something to the conversation. You can find that interview here, and Jimmy also posted a one-on-one interview you can find here!

 

Sigh. Such fun times! I'll be over here beaming, so in the meantime check out some sketches I did at the show:

 

 

 

Also, I created these little family seal drawings for some of my Gods & Undergrads characters. Once I clean these up a bit, I'll be selling them as prints.

Call for Commissions!

/

Now that show season is in full swing, I get to do one of the things I like best - commission sketches!

Now, I normally just do them at shows as people come up and order them from me, but this year I wanted to add another level. My next show coming up is the Stumptown Comics Fest in Portland, Oregon (actually, my NEXT show is CGS Supershow this coming weekend, but I don't have enough time to book commissions before that one. :( However, if you're GOING to Supershow, I will definitely still be doing commissions at the show!)

So if you're going to Stumptown this year and would like a commission from me, why not order one in advance? That way you can just swing on by and pick up your piece, rather than waiting and checking back and seeing if I've finally gotten around to it yet. The commissions will be on 5" x 7" Bristol Board, and they'll be $10 for pencil, $15 for ink.

Here's what a typical pencil sketch from me would look like ...

** The photo quality of these isn't great since I took them at shows with my phone. Basically, pencil = blue pencil.

And here's what an inked/graytoned one would look like ...

 

Here's the handy dandy Paypal button to order. Simply include a note with what you want the sketch to be, or you can always send me an email at lipstickisspress at gmail dot com.

Sketches and a Shirt

/

For my friend's birthday, I made sketches of some Game of Thrones characters ...

 

And then put them on a t-shirt with her nicknames for the characters.

She thinks the way Jon Snow says "pups" is funny, that Melisandre is the hottest woman on the planet, and for some reason still isn't won over by Peter Dinklage, becuase she claims he always used to play jerks so she hasn't gotten over that yet. Don't worry, we'll win her over to Team Tyrion soon ...

Maine Weather

Hey y'all ... this week might be a little lapsed in updating Bonnie and Gods & Undergrads. Last weekend I had to go on a sudden trip out of town for a funeral, so things are dragging a wee bit behind. It was definitely a weekend full of appreciating loved ones. Go out and hug yours today!

And here's what I have to say about the weather in Maine:
