The big news from this weekend, of course is that Lorelei's kickstarter project has exceeded its goal! Many, many thanks to everyone who has supported us! We have enough now for a basic print run, but the project is open until February 11, and we can still use all the pledges we can get! Additional funds will go toward shipping your rewards, better ( Read more... )

Welcome back, everyone! I hope you all had a pleasant holiday period.

It looks like it's going to be a busy month here in mikaspace; I did a painting for a friend over the holidays that I have to finish detailing for print, and there are a number of portfolio projects and Story Sketch updates in the queue. There will be two Sketch Fests in ( Read more... )

My flight to Montreal is tomorrow, so I'm busy today with laundry and packing and all the little things that need to be done before a long trip.
