June Update
Another month has passed. Holy Moses.
I read a bunch about plot constructing, have begun working on writing the graphic novels. Not a lot, but progress has been un-stalled, so that is good. Otherwise it's been a decently happy month for me, but relatively uneventful. Worked hard, mostly on Little Dee and on freelance work. Spent a week working up in Seattle. Finished the poster for the Olympia Comic Fest (come on by. It's on the 9th, and I'll be tabling, and will be on a webcomics panel with Jenn Manley Lee and Dylan Meconis.)
Bruno book #10 finally arrived today, the 31st, and is available. I'm sorry it took so long! All orders should be in the mail by Saturday (Monday at the latest).
I still haven't fixed up baldwinpage.com and all it's disorganized archives, and the fact that it is such a mess has been weighing on me, so expect some movement there soon when I can no longer bear it.
This month's comic is only a three pager (feel free to read it first, my talking about it is a bit of a spoiler this month). It's a strange mix. It began with an image in my head of someone having fallen asleep wearing a headlamp to read by. And I've been thinking about how easy it is to get stalled in life, to not really being happy, but forgetting that you can change. And I've been reading books by genre, and currently am plowing through a bunch of YA Fantasy/Adventure books, and so they worked their way in. It was thumbnailed at 10 pages, but it felt extraneous, so i chopped it to 3. The inking is the way it is because i wanted to balance out the fact I've been only working in expressive inking styles with the last several comics. I also was influenced by Jaime Hernandez's "Love and Rockets" (the Maggie and Hopey stories), and the final splash picture was inspired by "The Tale of Genji" by Yoshitaka Amano. If you're wondering about the nipple, you're thinking too much. Think of it as a self-aware (yet pleasant) nod of the genere of fantasy/adventure comics.
So yeah. now, go read it. It's called "Sack Tower" which I'm not sure if that's a description of the action of the story, or is the name of the tower. (archived on my home page on the water street page)
