Aaaaanimation... BOARDS.

Yo KT! What is UP with the drawing dry-spell? Glad you asked, it's because I'm working full time on storyboards again, ya nutty darlings! Wild Kratt's season 2 (and Silly Kingdom) has been keeping my drawing hands preoccupied for the past two months. It's a fun show to work on and if you've got little one's (or are a little one) who enjoys animal learning action adventures with lots of nifty gadgets you can catch it on TVO Kids (and all over youtube).

YAY CARTOOOOONS!!1!

A morning doodle for the #fanartfriday tumblr. Jake Wyatt's student uniform designs are so rad, I had to try my hand at one with my fav childhood mutant, Rogue.

After all it's only one more sleep 'til Silly Kingdom!

As of tomorrow we'll be opening shop to take in book orders for "Silly Kingdom"! A few people have already caught on to me sneakily putting the digital comic version available for purchase and gotten their downloads early (oh yooou!) We've been getting awesome feedback from readers and hope you all enjoy the comic as much as we enjoyed making it- let us know what you think!

Silly Kingdom available at "Dr.Comics & Mr.Games"

Hey Oakland folk! Before leaving California Shaggy and I dropped off some copies of Silly Kingdom at Dr.Comics & Mr.Games so if you missed us at APE you can nab them there! We're super stoked to have them carry our comic, it's a wicked shop (we hung around for a good long while browsing all the great titles)!

Going APE!

Silly Kingdom. Shaggy wrote it I drew it.

Last weekend my bro Shaggy and I scooted over to San Francisco to adventure about the city, gorge on great food, and to debut our newly printed comic "Silly Kingdom" at the Alternative Press Expo (or APE). We had a jolly good time and San Francisco was beautiful and super good to us, I cannot wait to go back for another visit!

Shaggy and Chloe

We shared a table with cartoonist Chloe Dalquist  who was a pleasure to hang out with all weekend. Thanks so much to everyone who came by to say HELLO and pick up copies of Silly Kingdom! It was super awesome meeting and chatting with you all!

Thi and Jake

One of the highlights was hanging out with two of my amazing ACA Comic Camp pals Thi Bui and Jake Wyatt. Thi was promoting the second chapter of her graphic novel "The Best we could Do" and Jake was representing "The Anthology Project: Vol 2" with much charismatic ferocity (he sold out of most of the books on day 1). These two were such a joy to be around and there were plenty of good laughs and great times all weekend. Mega thanks to Thi for taking Shaggy and I into her home while we were in town (and thanks to her son Hein for giving up his bunk bed to two Canadian vagabonds and for being so cool with sharing his legos!)

All in all our first APE was a big success with lots of fun extras thrown in: naps in the park, checking out the giant back storerooms of the local comic shop, manga themed restaurants, a dueling piano bar, cutting the pre-party to go get tapas with Craig Thompson and friends, sushi burritos, chocolate pasta, discovering that oyster shooters can indeed get you drunk -scale of the fish, anyone?- and many more. 

Here's to good friends, good food,  good comics, making good comics and having tons of comical adventures,  BAAHHNG!

The Bossest Comics on Girlamatic

So I was googling my name today (WHAT) and found this article written by Shaenon Garrity from "The Comics Journal" about the female friendly webcomic community Girlamatic.com and some of the "bossest" webcomics that can be read there. Shaenon does a sweet write up about some of her favourite strips (including my very own Shrub Monkeys).

Thanks Shaenon! The community at Girlamatic.com (or GAM) has been a little quiet these days as everyone's out pursuing their individual comic dreams, but there's still a good collection of comics updating regularly. There are also large backlogs of great stories created by artists who've either taken their early GAM stories to print (Raina Telgemeier's Eisner Award winning "Smile") or gone on to create awesome new projects (Svetlana Chmakova went on to do "Dramacon", "Nightschool" and plenty of other rad comics after her "Chasing Rainbows" was discovered on GAM).

Girlamatic's done some great stuff for me too, it gave me a structured platform for a webcomic that was kind of half formed and floating around in my head looking for a home, and introduced me to a whole gamut of wonderfully talented and friendly creators. This past weekend at APE I got to meet up with "Gammers" Karen Luk, Kory Bing and Michelle Mauk and I've bumped into many others on my world traveling comic related adventures. Reading Shaenon's article above made me nostalgic for the earlier days on GAM but it also makes me feel super stoked for all the different pathways we've taken and what stories we'll find and create along the way.

And now if I can only get myself to update a little more often ghu hu huuuuy...
