So let me tell you about this - and just leave it at that.
Phil & Kaja Foglio - the people that pay my rent - are trying to fundraise to print the new volume of Girl Genius.
It hit the goal on day two - and is now deep into stretch goal territory. Now the focus moves to reprinting older books. Many of the (HUGO award winning) Girl Genius volumes have gone out of print in the last year and with the power of 'stretch goals' we (you and me) can fix that.

"BOO-k!" she said excitedly and rushed to get a closer look
"Yes" I said "a very special book... daddy read this book a LOT growing up."
"Because, when I was your age my mom used to read it to me -- and before that, when MY mom was your age -- her mom, who had the same name as you do, she read it to her..."
"...and now it's my turn to read it to you..."

al order, we played God with our jellied cranberries and salmonella ridden stuffing. Those with cooler heads tried to warn our brothers and sisters about the dangers of deep fryers or the horrible blasphemy "Turkducken". But our pleas fell on deaf ears. Then came the Turkpocolypse. So much pain, so much stuffing. ...

Read MoreHey all - I'm back from SteamCon and hard at work at my digital drawing table trying to make everyone happy with glittering new art. While I finish up Illo's for Deadlands Noir andUnexploded Cow I've also let my self get roped into a few other crowdfunded projects --
First off the Hell on Earth Miniature Mega-Release (at the time I write this) has only 9 days left. It's already hit it's funding goal, but we have plenty of strech goal minis that I am dying to see get unlocked.
Next there is The World of Steam - a webvideo project best discribed as a steampunk Twilight Zone -- WoS has about 17 days left to get it's funding and every little bit helps. Give it a look if you are a fan of Steampunk, the Twilight Zone, or Indie productions that want to bypass the traditional hollywood system and try and bring to the screen what people want -- intead of what mega-corps say we want.
Lastly for all of you in the Pacific NorthWest I'll be at ZOECon this weekend (Nov 9-11 2012) Running some Deadland Noir games signing books and maybe selling some original art (I need to do some in-person fund-raising since Kickstarter doesn't accept "I NEED a Dentist" as a viable project)
A poster we've made for the Airship Regatta event I've held every year at Steamcon -- This year we will have a souvenir stand selling prints and other goodies to help recoup the cost of the show.
I also designed a pin for this years Steamcon - like I have for the previous two years - After I sent them the design they did not responed to my further emails -- but if they DID go with my pin it should look like this. Silver - with red enamel in the center behind the bat.
