Summer's supposed to be winding down, though it's still been deathly hot here. I've been hanging out a lot with my family for the past couple of weeks, but with the start of school imminent, they've all gone home and I can start to get more work done (... if I can beat this heat...!).

I am participating in a couple zines that are going to be released during fall conventions, GangLion and Arabesque. I was asked by Saicoink to illustrate an article on how to tie scarves, and here are my initial sketches:

There's tweaking to be done, and I think when I get the green light to ink them, I'm going to try a lighter, more delicate line on it, rather than my usual brushpen. The zine is black and white, but if they turn out good maybe I will colour them...?

I've also been enamoured with long dangly earrings lately, so I've been making a lot:


I need to take better pictures of them and then I can add them to my store or my Etsy account, which is one of the last things to be completed on the site. I've also updated the Bio page slightly, for anyone that wants to see. I also want to translate some bits into French.

It's also about that time of the year to decide which Fall events I am going to. GangLion is going to Word on the Street Toronto so I may stop by. I've sent in my application for Canzine and I'm hoping Expozine will happen again this year also. I'd like to rustle up some table space for SPX, if that's possible----! Does anyone have room for a few girly comics? :D
