While at the SFWA table I did some sketches. This one was drawn for Mark Teppo who asked me to draw a monkey riding some sort of balloon animal for his daughter. ^_^

Folks who came by the SFWA table at WFC were offered free sketches. I drew this one for Karen Meisner. She asked for something with unicorn and moon. She had no idea I was working on a unicorn monkey sketch at the time! Hooray for Chuffles!
I think Mayara and Chuffles will go on more adventures together.
One form of play leads to another! Noodling around with pens caused me to noodle around with Manga studio.

I’ve been hanging out with Chuffles, the balloon unicorn who fell from he moon, and working on a few projects with him. This is the result of a brainstorming session.
Europa’s a pretty nifty moon, full of ice and geysers and liquid water under the crust.

430: All In!
The original version did not have cake, but when I showed the first draft to my sweetie he said it needed cake. When I added the cake I drew three candles, because that felt like a nice number. I then wondered if I should draw a number of calendars that represented something… and you know what? The Things were created in June 2012 and the first comic strip went live on a website on June 27 2012! I can’t believe it.
Happy Pre-Birthday Things!
Who would have thought that a Clarion Write-a-thon challenge would have turned into such an ongoing and unfolding creature! I remember when I got to twenty and thought “ughhh, there are no more ideas, how on EARTH will I EVER get this webcomic to 60?
I should do something for their birthday, but what? Anyone have any suggestions?
