Stuff!

I love stuff! And last night I stayed up making stuff for the last two days of the art show.



Pins and postcards from the "Animahl Kingdom" series that I'm currently working on in my pic diary. I'm also working on making the series into a picture book. Still only about 6 pages in.


I also thought I'd add some photos of the show in case you were curious. Of course you are! How could I ever doubt you!

Next Trek

I was watching an ep of DS9 today- the one with the tribbles- and Worf mentions what happened to the Tribble homeworld. Then I came up with an idea for a gag strip. I also remembered that while at Worldcon, I viewed a "fan" film that guest-starred George Takei. The writer and director of the piece talked about how he was pitching a Sulu show to Paramount. That completed my idea for a possible new Trek series. I don't know how often I'll be doing these strips, but I will do them every once in a while. Enjoy!!
