Elle on the radio?

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

So, if all goes according to plan, I’ll be appearing on Pirate Cat Radio this Friday (accompanied by Jeanne, who can help me out when I collapse under shyness like a star going nova and cannot form coherent words). I’m technically being featured because of “Ellezilla”, the all new minicomic I debuted at APE, so I suspect I’ll be talking a lot about Japan. Or monsters.

The program is from 4-6 PST and we’ll be on earlier in the show (there will also be musical guests and a snarky essayist, among others!). Since it is pirate radio it’s only on a local frequency, but you can tune in from the web.

So, yeah. Check that out. If you’ve ever wanted to hear me make awkward silence, should be exciting.

chance to win art from me!

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

EDIT: The contest has now ended. Thanks everyone who entered and supported Rusty’s cause!

As mentioned previously, a friend of mine is fund-raising for her roomate’s dog. She’s been hosting giveaways for a week and starting today, the giveaway to win art from me went live on her website.

If you go to her site, you can enter to win a free one page comic or drawing by yours truly. Given how rarely I open commissions, that’s a pretty golden opportunity for custom art by me. Want a pin-up of your original character? A guest strip for your webcomic? A wacky comic illustration of a story from your blog? Batman/Superman slash?

The link is open until Friday WEDNESDAY, the 4th. I’d love it if one of my readers won, so check it out :D

Life outside of Elle

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Gosh, things have been crazy. I honestly am getting through the week hour by hour to not get overwhelmed, it’s a little intense. Outside of Littlest Elle, I’ve dived head first into my next Erstwhile project with Gina from Strawberry Comics. It’s an adaptation of All Kinds of Fur and I’ll post more about it as I get farther along, but this one is a full 34 pages and I’m taking it as a challenge to see just how well I can time manage around my jobs.

And in other “stuff I am doing” realms, locals can come check my art out at STUDIO gallery SF’s “Mischief” show, running July 15-August 9. I have two pieces hanging, one an original comic page from Catbox (shown in the link) and another print of Cinderella from my college thesis. It looks to be a great show and the gallery is super chill!

SF Zinefest here I come!

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Just a reminder to all and sundry in the Bay Area, I will be tabling at San Francisco Zinfest this Saturday and Sunday in Golden Gate Park (8/22-8/23 for those who think in calendar days). It’s in the County Fair building right off 9th, one of my favorite parts of San Francisco, period.

I still haven’t set up online sales, so this is a Very Exclusive Opportunity to pick up my work! Also, I am debuting a new tinyzine. It is my very first tinyzine and I am very excited about it! A preview:

In other news, The Frog Prince received its first official review recently and the “Mischief” show at Studio Gallery SF ended successfully. Thanks to all for showing their support!

Wondercon this Friday~

Saturday, March 27th, 2010

As mentioned in the previous post, I will be tabling at Wondercon this year at table 116 in the Artist Alley. Last Easter weekend I went to the ER, so this Easter is a serious upgrade! Ha!

I’m new to the Wondercon Artist Alley so I’m sort of winging this as I go along. I’ll be bringing a little bit of everything, but new things include copies of the Allfur comic, original comic art pages for sale, and some solo illustrations. I will also have some new necklaces and buttons, although if nobody around me has that type of merch I may keep them fairly discreet.

I doubt I’ll get to see many panels since I’ll be table sitting, but I am really excited to watch the Masquerade. It’s been years since I participated in got to attend a cosplay event!
