Happy Friday! Happy St. Patty’s Day! As far as I know, I’ve no Irish in my ancestry. I will be wearing green today – unintentionally. I grabbed a green shirt from the drawer when I got up this morning. That means I’m protected against pinching.
Do kids still pinch the kids who aren’t wearing green? I suppose I could google that but I think I’ll just wonder about it instead.
I now have a business license. I am dba Skookworks. I applied to the WA Department of Revenue a couple of weeks ago. I got the license and UBI number via email on Wednesday morning. I got a business checking account and debit card on Wednesday afternoon. The credit union representative who set me up had to ask me a lot of questions to confirm that my business was not in any way marijuana related. I assured her that the only way I warp the morality of my fellow citizens is by drawing weird pictures and publishing comic books.
No, I didn’t say that. I said I was an illustrator. She didn’t ask what sort of illustrations I created.
Skookworks is intended to handle the business part of getting Billi 99 published. Whether we just do a Kickstarter or we do a Kickstarter for a hardback and get the TPB put out by a prominent comics publisher, doing it all through Skookworks is a way to keep the finances of the project separate from our personal finances. I’ll be filing quarterly taxes and hiring an accountant and all sorts of adult stuff. Yay!
After Billi 99 is back in the world Skookworks will be the entity through which I’ll be selling original art and the schtuff I put the art on once we get a store set up on the website(s).
Above is the original version of Nizz saying hello to one of her neighbors in the Night Forest. Below is design with text added for folks who want words with their pictures. 
The image only version is available in my Redbubble shop. The shop is still there and still active. The words’n’pictures version will have to wait until we get a new shop set up.
I hope your week has gone well. I hope you make it through the day without being pinched. Unless you’re into being pinched. If so, avoid green! And let everyone know about it!
See you in seven!
