An Ode to Print

And now for something completely different...

Hiatus is over! And Schedule news!

Okay I promise this will be the last image i reuse... for a while

Hey everyone! Yes, the Hiatus is over. Life is a little more under control, and i can finally get back to doing what I want-- write and draw!

So heres my plan:

I got one article to post to day and then... I'm going camping. What? Stop looking at me like that! The trip has been planned for several weeks now and them my parents decided to go on Wed, not Thurs.

BUT, before the end of the month, I'm going to post all my articles regarding the DC Reboot (before the whole thing starts). This includes my Convention report about the Calgary Comic Con, my thoughts on the whole thing, and what issues i will be buying.

The last issue All New Wonder Woman is out today, so I've i can get over to the comic book store (or download a digital copy) I will, and will be working on it over the camping trip. If not, it'll take a little longer to write. I also promised some time back that I was going to touch upon the controversy that the comic brought on. That should be out some time after instead of before. I won't just be touching upon the comic now, but also the cancelled TV series, and the reboot version of her.

I also have a few other things on the way, but I'm keeping the schedule as flexible as possible right now.

New regarding everything: I'm updating both Art Slug and my DA page again. Fanart and Fanfiction will be coming back soon. I'm also working on my own webcomic now, but I'm not announcing what it is just yet.

Oh, and I bought Minecraft.

And it is awesome.

Hiatus for a while

Told ya this was my hiatus pic

See title. This was not my plans for the summer, but... I'm calling off all web stuff until I get my life in order. BUT I will continue to answer e-mails, if someone wishes to contact me. But right now, I have so many things on my plate that i can't even work on the job I want--- my ART!

So I'm taking the pressure off. You can check me out at facebook: Facebook page or my latest blog: Organizing Tegan, where I'm trying to keep track of what I'm accomplishing.

I want to start a web comic. I want to continue my sketch-blog. My portfolio site. I want to talk about the calgary comic con, the DC reboot, the new silent hill movie. Start working as an illustrator. I want to finish some of my personal work. My fanfiction. And my fan comic.

But I also want to feel in control of my life, live in an organized, clean room, where i have room to work, reconnect with old friends, repay my debts, spend time with family i may not see again. And right now, these are the things I CAN do.

So until then, this will be my last entry until I'm "back". And I WILL be back. I don't know when. And I don't know how fast it will be. Heck, it could even be in the next few days, if i'm reeeeeally lucky.

And, WOW, I'm ending this on a downer. Anyway, you'll be able to tell when I'm back when I actually post something. Until then...

Seeya peoples,

So here we are again...

So. Didn't get any articles in---yadda yadda--- I'm sick of this--- blah de blah. I've done this scene. Several, eye-twitching times.

Okay, long story short--- I can't organize. Never have. Anyone whose known me, personally or net wise, knows this. And i further proove it by, once again, failing to post the articles I meant to this week. And before you think it's just the sites i'm bad with, i should note that I have barely drawn or writen anything in the past week. And if i don't start soon, i fear my muse may start using sledgehammers to motivate me.

However, conventual means of organization doesn't work for me. So. I'm not gonna whine. Not going to play the blame game. Not going to threaten life's manager with combustible lemons. You know what I did instead?

I started a blog.

A blog dedicated to getting my act together.

No. Really.

I'll be using this blog to motivate and regulate my new goal and catalogue what i've done and what I'm attempting. Why the internet? I don't know. Maybe I just have a natural urge to embarrass myself.

So what does this mean for Art Slug, SlugLady's Sketch Log, and my writing, my art, eceter and so forth? Well, hopefully it means I'll finally start doing something. My goal this week is to post as many articles as I can here (hopefully with pictures this time) even if it ends up being mostly Slug Trails (Which I'm suppose to be doing anyway when there is an unscedualed hiatus, ahem), and on Art Slug, and DA. And, who knows, maybe I can acutally draw something this week.

Fingers crossed.

Off to Con! Special Update Coming Next Week!

Hey all! This weekend I’m off to the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo! I will be selling a few things (as long as everything goes well at the printers. Fingers crossed! Fingers crossed!) Up above is a sample of one of the bookmarks I will be selling! (So it counts as a new image. I planned this. Really. Ya.) I should be selling a few. Hopefully. Might be edited a bit more... 

Frag, I'm starting to sound like Portal 2 Wheatley...

In addition, the book Acadian Comics, will be sold at the convention! The book is an anthology of comics created last year by us former and current ACAD students! We will be at the con under the name Project God Particle. See you there!

AND! Next week, I will be posting FOUR articles on the blog. You read that right! I know I said “no promises”. But it’s been an... interesting week in comics and such to say the least and I have three of the articles in edits already. Two of them will be regarding the latest... choice... DC made last week. Another will be an “Ode to Print” and the forth will be a Con Report of the comic con!

Seeya next week guys! And wish me luck!

Back in Edmonton and news on schedules

The to-do list... it never ends...

Hey All! I return to you now, a ten-day-old COLLEGE GRADUATE! WHOOHOOO!

Ahem... Ya, I'm still getting it out of my system. I am also now a seven-day-old Edmontonian! Yes, I’ve left Calgary and have moved to the City of Edmonton! I’m going to miss Calgary... the people... the places... the train... the lack of mosquitoes. But it’s good to be home.

Now I just have to unpack it all.

You’d be surprised how much one accumulates over 5 years... And then you see how much I accumulate over 5 years. To everyone that helped me move... I apologized for any major back problems you’ve acquired.

So, since I'm going to be unpacking, I still can’t promise when I’ll be posting stuff. Apparently now was the wrong time to attempt a once a week schedule. Not kidding. I meant to post this entry like, half a week ago.

In fact lets just disregard all schedules for, like, ever. A while back I as listed some topics I was going to blog about, but some of them I've cut and some won’t happen for a while. For instance, I mentioned that I was planning something big and Wonder Woman-related for October. Unfortunately, most of my research material was coming from libraries because I don't have the money to buy the majority of WW's books within the next few months... And the Edmonton Library's amount of WW books is probably about an eighth of what Calgary has. Le sigh.

So, in summary: Any schedules I make are 100% flexible.

I will be returning to Calgary in June for the comic con. Still working on what I'll be selling, if I'll be selling at all. No promises right now. Or schedules. Seriously. The things are a pain in the butt.

Oh, and my contacts have now changed to tegan.dumpleton@yahoo.ca

Now if you excuse me, I have three rooms worth of stuff to fit into one tiny one. Bye now!
