THE CLOUDS HAVE CLEARED
Just as suddenly as it came, all my bad juju seems to be disappearing in one day. In the last few hours, I got a phone call that my computer had been totally fixed! New board, new battery, it's practically fresh from the factory all over again. I fully expect it to sparkly gaily during our happy reunion tomorrow morning.
This means NEW SISTER CLAIRE PAGE COMING AT YOU TOMORROW! Because it was practically done when the computer crashed, it won't take me long to finish it.
And best of all, I HAVE A PLACE TO STAY IN ANGOULEME! I send out emails to pretty much every host offering a room in their house in Angouleme, and she was one of the first to reply. She sounds like a great person! She even offered to pick me up at the train station, and she's already hosting two other comic artists visiting for the same con, so it should be awesome. =)
Last but not least, my band is gearing up to enter a contest for an upcoming videogame, and not to toot our own horn, but I'm pretty sure we're going to blast the competition out of the water with our submission. We're going way overboard with all the work we're putting into it, so I'm pretty sure we have a good chance of landing a feature in the game. :D FOR FREEN!
EDIT: OOH! ALSO! If you want a chance to win a FREE GABRIELLE SHIRT, you should totally enter the contest in the DA group GirlsExclusive! Click the link to learn more!
It's a great time to get a shirt, because *I* just ordered a blue one for myself, and I have to say, I like it even better than the black. (It's closer to my original vision, too!)
Also, here are some pictures of the sample books I got printed for the editors in Angouleme! Notice the big "PREVIEW VERSION" stickers. XD These books are in black and white, and only contain the pages that are up on the site so far. They're just prototypes to show what the final book will look like. The back also contains never before seen concept art, including some for unannounced characters appearing way off in the future. These will be included in the first OFFICIAL print of the book as well! =)
