It's been far too long, I know. But what do you think that means? Stuff?! Nowai!
With all the holiday craziness, I hope you can excuse our absence. Danielle has been slaving away over comic pages, and I have had my thinking-cap on for so long that I think it may be stuck D:
We have only stopped to greet family during the holidays and clear our minds. Believe it or not, working on personal projects can be stressful, energy sucking, life consuming and unrelenting.
Never fear, my eager readers there will be Mutare Ludum to come. The pages for Bloodgroove are well on their way to reaching the top of Mountain Awesome, and Stitches and Strings is trudging behind in the fleshing-out stage. On top of our usual ML projects, Imaginos Workshop has made the two of us part of the collaboration team on an intellectual property currently referred to as Crazy Kings.
Danielle has still found herself swamped in commissions (mostly mask making and bleach painting, though she's still in contact with the children's author and his illustrations are well on their way.)
And I? Well.. Just been working on plot and helping Dani when she needs it. I've been working mostly on Stitches and Strings and Crazy Kings.
Also the two of us also have been tossing around ideas for a few storytelling scripts. Being paid to perform original stories? Win! (For those of you who are unaware, Danielle and I are huge theatre geeks.)
So, slowly but surely our dreams are coming to reality, though many things have been learned along the way. Production schedules are for the birds! ...but also very important. We are hoping to have the first issue of Bloodgroove prepared for you by the end of May, and Stitches and Strings will be posted to the website as completed. Stay updated!
In the near future?
Danielle and I will forsures be attending:
Comic Expo -Grand Rapids (Mid March)
Amber Con -Livonia (Late March)
Other cons as well, but they are not confirmed yet.
More masks will be featured in a yet another mask making blog, and possibly a more detailed bleach painting one. Further, our tumblr is up and running once more, and our DA will be filling up shortly. (Everybody say thank you Danielle!)
Thanks for following and keep on keepin' on,
April
