| Print Sale! |
[Jan. 7th, 2010|03:37 am] |
Hi Internets, You may have noticed a significant decline in output from me over the last 6 months, as most of my sites and projects are on indefinite hiatus. This is because it has been a rough year (not just for me, I know). I’m spending these early days of Twenty Ten catching up on commissions, pinups, and coloring gigs that have fallen by the wayside over the last few years while I dealt with some health and financial troubles. As I complete these overdue commitments, I’m not going to be taking on any new gigs, so to keep the bills paid, I’ll be selling these high-quality 8 x 10” prints for $25 each plus $5 shipped in the U.S. (The shipping price only applies once for purchases of multiple prints, email for info on international orders.) If you have any interest in my work or in the possibility of owning one of these pieces, please contact me or PayPal me directly at deantrippe(at)gmail.com, just include in the comments section which of the prints you’d like and if you’d like them personalized. Thanks so much.  Dynamic Duo  The Girl Wonder  Supergirl  Superman  World’s Finest  Mary Marvel  JLA  Superman & Lois Thanks. |

Well...I haven't drawn in a couple weeks... And Amy made me draw a Berbil from Thundercats..hahahah

Kinda hate that this is the first thing I've drawn in 2010, but I have lots more projects and stuff on the way. I'll be getting in on the sketch-a-day deal...but I'm a bit behind. |

Just an ordinary winter day. A lot of snow everywhere, temperature between 18-24 minus degrees. I did a tour around countryside looking for Otters beforehand for a special purpose on Friday. Hopeless - all the places I know were frozen. Well, I saw Smew, White-tailed Eagle, Dippers, Bohemian Waxwings, Eurasian Tree Sparrows etc. ( some snow pics... ) |

Hi! I updated my website pretty heavily. Want to see?
http://goraina.com/
The overall design is similar to what it was before, but the content has been entirely revised, new sections of the site were added, and it is finally living in the 21st century, with pretty links to Twitter and a Wordpress blog and all that good stuff.
My thanks to Stephanie Yue for her coding and design skills--Steph was also the colorist for SMILE, and she is equally good with html as she is with color palettes.
Less than a month till my book is in stores...I'm having a hard time thinking about anything else! |

| Lynn Lau's winning entry |
[Jan. 5th, 2010|08:59 pm] |
I just got permission from Lynn to post this, so here it is!
In 1859 I would be one of the Chinese immigrants settled in the Malaccan straits. Dad would be in his element playing the middleman between local merchants and British colonials, while I'd help my mum supplement the family income by weaving mengkuang mats (and to her great exasperation, I still would not sit like a girl). It is a time full of change as new cultures and governments intermingle, and I would feel the barest inkling of some sort of pull that, not too long later, I imagine would draw me away from home and out into the world.

| MERCURY contest winners! |
[Jan. 5th, 2010|01:04 pm] |
Most people did a writing/art combo, so the lines of the contest were blurred a little bit. Regardless, my favorite entries were these:
• krishnaa's entry about living in India, here; • meeleena's awesome drawing that she should expand into a comic, because I'd read it, here; • ducttapesnakes's written/drawn entry about being biracial in 1859, here; • and Lynn Lau's written/drawn entry about Chinese immigrants living in the Malaccan straits, which I'm waiting on permission to post here.
You four are getting books, so please send me your addresses when you get a chance!
Everyone else, thank you so much for entering! All of your entries were wonderful, and I had a tough time narrowing it down to four. I wish I could give you all books. ♥ |

Hey dudes, hourlies! They are going to be late as hell until I catch up because the first few days of this month have not been conducive to drawing comics at all.

Thank you very, VERY much to everyone who responded to my last post--I appreciate your comments and thoughts more than you can imagine.
A few more links for you guys, because I meant to include some of them in the original post, and because I've found some other sites that are helpful. I promise this will be the last time I bring this up here!

Usually Smews live in the northern parts of Finland in the summer time and they migrate to south when winter comes. Unlike his fellows, this male decided to stay here in the middle of Tampere. It's easy to spot from Hämeensilta bridge where it lives with Mallards. |

| Which one!? |
[Jan. 2nd, 2010|04:38 pm] |
the Time Limited Print Sale poll the results are pretty much a tie between 'Yuuwaku' and 'Hyakki Yakou'. (we were going to count every comment vote, but sadly some people voted multiple times, so it wouldnt be quite fair...) so, at this point, i hope it's ok if i decide between the two. either way, both will be made in to prints. one will be timed and the other a regular sale. will officially announce in a bit. :)
Happy New Year!! |
