... definitely lived up to it's reputation as the friendliest, most laid-back, and most creator-oriented con in the country! I met so many amazing creators and fans, and can't wait to go back next year. HUGE thanks to everyone who came by to chat, get stuff autographed, and get sketches! But of course it wouldn't be con season if a few things didn't get forgotten...
1. I have a sketch commission that never got picked up!! It's an Emma Frost, and I really hope that the very nice person who commissioned it and already paid for it will contact me so I can mail it to them! If it's yours, email me with your name for verification (I took names when I made my commission list).
2. I also COMPLETELY forgot about my promise to include the likenesses of the first three people to get commissions for each day in an issue of Magus!! Totally my bad. Unfortunately, I don't have contact info for anyone, but if you see your name listed here, and you got a sketch from me at Heroes Con, send me a note (include what I drew for you for verification) and we'll talk photo reference. I'm such a doofus, sorry guys!

Laterz, dudez!
* DV8 #1 is finally on the stands! There are two new pages from the issue up in the gallery section, and some great reviews have come in from CRAVE, CBR, and IGN. CRAVE also did an interview with Brian and I that sums up the series nicely if you're interested in finding out more before picking up the issue (unfortunately there's not a lettered preview online).
* This Saturday, May 1, is Free Comic Book Day! I'll be at Laughing Ogre Comics in Fairfax, VA signing DV8 #1 and anything else you care to bring (Ms. Marvel, Drafted, babies, casts, snuggies, etc). Depending on turnout, I might be able to do quick sketches... we'll see!
* Friend and fellow WildStorm artist Fiona Staples has been nominated for an Eisner for Best Penciller/Inker! Drop by her blog and wish her luck and check our her amazing work in North 40 and on the covers of DV8: Gods and Monsters.
* Also, convention season is already in full swing, but unfortunately I'll be a bit limited this year because of finances. I'm not doing San Diego, BUT my boyfriend, writer Jon Price, his friend and co-writer Dave Norton, and I will be at Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC, June 6-8, to officially announce our new series Magus from 12 Gauge. It'll be our first time at Heroes but we've heard it's the most fun and laid-back con in the States. Hope to see you there!
Just a reminder, there's a DV8 #1 preview in this month's issues of DMZ and Scalped. Full color, words inside of circles with little tails, all the deluxe features of the modern funny book. Kids love 'em! Collect 'em both!
After years of harrassment from colleagues (mostly editors) about only having a Deviantart site, I'm finally the proud owner of my own sovereign internet-state. Big thanks to Outland Webworks who designed the site, and whose parent company happens to provide a ridiculous number of quality services and entertainment for comics creators and readers.
I've got nothing against Deviantart, though, and I still think it's the best way to keep in touch with friends and fans, and a much better forum for sharing sketches and bits n' pieces. This will be more of my professional portfolio for my more polished, finished work, so please keep watching my DA site for more frequent updates and (hopefully with increasing frequency as April approaches) teasers for DV8!
