morgandea-art:

It seems like every time I draw Mouse he becomes cuter and more deformed - so I drew a second sketch to go along with the super cute version. Still figuring out how to quickly render a large horde of rats. While I don’t think this way is perfect, I think it’s cute. Reminds me of when I was little and you’d make thumb prints with ink and then add little faces to them. Heh.

I think Mouse has accidentally become my favourite character. This is unexpected.

STOP MAKING AMAZING MOUSE ART THAT I LOVE.

Wait, no. Please CONTINUE MAKING AMAZING MOUSE ARE THAT I LOVE.

I can’t choose which of your Mouses is my favorite!

I met this actor several times this past week as we are both guests of the Armageddon Expo in Hamilton, New Zealand.

He is an intense fellow.

Some Con Appearances

Here are some confirmed dates, since people have been asking.

Cardiff Film and Comic Con, August 31/Sept. 1st, Cardiff, Wales   http://www.cardiffcomiccon.com/

Octocon, October 12-13, Dublin, Ireland,

These are confirmed. Sadly, I will not be able to make it to Glasgow this year as I had hoped. Next year, I think!

There is a POSSIBILITY that I may be making it to India later in the year.

San Diego is still in question…not sure if I can squeeze it in this year. And I may be doing a store appearance on the East coast around the time Red Sonja comes out.

So some stuff is still up in the air. :)

Moe is a Japanese term referencing cute characters (adorable, usually with big eyes). Though I don't know why that person would think American comics are ugly to look at. Especially when we have cuties like Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain.

Ah, okay, I thought it was a typo. Man, how did I not know this word?

I think there’s a ton of cuties in comics all over the gender spectrum.

There is a lovely bit of historic symmetry to the fact that you, an upcoming creator of RED SONJA, used to do ELFQUEST cosplay, while Wendy Pini, creator of ELFQUEST, used to do RED SONJA cosplay. It made me smile, and I wanted to share it with you. <3

Holy dang, that never even occurred to me.

MIND IS BLOWN.

Hi, Gail. It's Jason. Did you ever get sketches that I sent to you? I figured you'd get a kick out of sketches I've gotten from your books. Also: congrats on THE MOVEMENT. It takes a hell of a writer to write about current events AND write a book whose tit

Thank you, I’m sorry, though, I am not sure what sketches you mean…can you clarify?

Gail I absolutely love your writing and I was curious for your new Red Sonja series is it possible for me to read it without having any prior knowledge of the character?

Absolutely! This is a relaunch, new origin, new stories, no prior knowledge required, an all new #1. YAY!

I was talking to my friend about the movement and we were both wondering if it ties in with the green team?

It does, in a subtle way at first.

Dang.

Dang.
