We’re in the new apartment. We’re done with the old apartment. I’ve got wireless hooked up on my computer. Most of the books are still in boxes and probably will be for months. There’s all kinds of recycling that needs to be gotten rid of as well as a table and a dresser that died in the truck on the way over from the old apartment.

The business for which I’ve had a day job for the last few years was officially sold today. I’ll be helping the new owners figure out how things work throughout January but mostly I’ll be doing my new job. Which is a lot like the old job only more chaotic. I’ll probably go into it a bit as time goes on and I get more organized.

I also got a cover done for Sixtystone Press. It was a rush job that turned out much better than I expected. I’ll post that tomorrow. Over Christmas Nizzibet mentioned to someone that I would have 3 books coming out next year. There will be at least that. I expect to be pretty busy at the drawing board.

And, sooner or later, I’ll start posting here again regularly.

See you all in 2010!

There will probably be no artwork to post for most, if not all, of the rest of the month. Nizzibet and I are moving from our overstuffed apartment to a larger one across town. We’re expecting the new place to be just stuffed rather than crammed. But to get to that stage we’ve first got to put everything here into boxes and bags and schlep it there. And then, for Christmas, we’ll get to unwrap our old stuff! Yay!

Of course that means another couple of commissions showed up in email today. One is a new RPG book for Sixtystone Press. Cover and interior illustrations. The other is work I’ve already done, years ago, that looks like it may see print in an Oz related publication. The art has been packed away since the last time we moved so it’s going to stay packed until we get to the new place.

All of this needs to be fit around the work I’m doing on Oz Squad. Uh. Yeah. Seems like I’m destined to do that series. I’ve no idea when it will see print. I’ve got 12 out of 48 pages of the first issue finished. Assuming that it sees publication as a print comic. But maybe it will end up on the web first. Or we’ll collect the first story arc in a trade paper back. But that all happens when the art is done.

I hope you’ll all having fun. Feel free to drop by now and then. Just because I don’t expect to have anything to show off doesn’t mean I won’t end up surprising myself.
