Lots of news today, not all of it good. First, the bad: for the first time in over twenty years Dragoncon has rejected my application, without explanation. So, I move on. As my 2010 con schedule stands now, I'll definitely be at at
Anthrocon for the annual "Kevin & Kell"
patron social, and at two other Atlanta-area cons on consecutive weekends this month: (
Furry Weekend Atlanta and
Momocon. I anticipate others coming up as the year goes on, so watch this space.
In happier news, John Lotshaw relaunches "
Accidental Centaurs" Monday. Welcome back, oatmunchers!
Star Pirates is conducting a webcomics poll
here, which is open to those who have a Profile with them. Don't forget the two other sponsors in the rotation:
Curtis Frye and
Doc Rat. There's room for more
ad sponsors as well.
We ended up having over twenty "Kevin & Kell" patrons sign up at the Sunday Family Dinner and Omnivore Feast levels in order to have their furry caricatures on the back cover of the latest "Kevin & Kell" book collection "On Strike." Thanks! The book will go on sale in June at Anthrocon, and then be available at that time at
The Bill Holbrook Store.
I recently did the artwork for a freelance assignment, which you can see
here.
"Fastrack" readers will recall the running gag I had with the computer powered by a wind-up key. One fan of the strip actually created one, which you can see
here. (Be sure to scroll down to see it in action.) Speaking of "Fastrack", I'm selling some original artwork from the 1980s and 1990s on E-Bay. You can see the current one that I have up
here from 1993. It's anthropomorphic, and you can see that I was heading in the direction of "Kevin & Kell." Remember to now access "Fastrack" at
The Washington Post and "Safe Havens" at the
Seattle P-I.
Be sure to read
Lindesfarne's Blog for extra background on the strip's storylines. Catherine Aura's
tweets continue her adventures (romantic and otherwise).
Finally, my oldest daughter is back in China after spending two weeks with us. Before that she toured southeast Asia, which you can see on her
blog.
