The Skary Shop reopens with new things!
Death & Elsie Part 2: An Elephant's Memory
31 Days of Halloween 2012 begins!
Skary Childrin and the Carousel of Sorrow! Coming in paperback March 12th! Go get it! What? You already have it in hardback and as an ebook? Then you’d best complete your collection! ;-)
And because I know you’ll ask: I’m presently wrapping up some edits on Chapter 2 of my next book. So another book’s happening, too. But it’ll take a little longer than March 12th.
After some technical problems, I had to put my shop on hiatus. But that’s all fixed up now, and there’s a new store with new t-shirts and mugs! Yes, it’s short a few of the items that were previously available, but those items may return at a later date. Better still is that prices are a bit lower now, too! What are you waiting for? Go get your glow-in-the-dark El Despertar tees! And while you’re at it, check out the new Death tees and hoodies. I think they’re pretty clever if I don’t say so myself.
And speaking of things you can buy, I’m now for sale, too! Wait, that sounds wrong. I mean that my web and graphic design services (and maybe some illustration and animation) are now available. Many of you have asked, and I’ve always had to decline due to time constraints. My time’s a bit more open now that I’m a free (well, not free) agent again. You can see my portfolio here.
Also of note: I’ve been working on an easier way for you to upload your fan art, but I’m now considering starting a new forum right here on skary.com so that people who dislike Facebook and G+ or who are below the age threshold for those sites have a place they can go to talk about all things Skary or just get to know each other. Here there would be a fan art board where you could upload to your heart’s delight. This will, of course, need moderators! And that’s where you come in.
I’ll need a handful of moderators to cover the various time zones of board members. Your job will be to keep the place sane and free from abuse and spam. Moderators who hang around long enough and prove their awesomeness will sometimes get free things! More below »
Congratulations, Emma Rose! Your drawing was selected as the winner for the Goosemother Scroll contest for its originality and generally awesome drawing skills. But that doesn’t mean we didn’t love everyone else’s entries! It was a tough call!
Congrats again, Emma – your prize will be in the mail soon.
“Then the headless horseman descended upon Leap and snatched from him what the dead had bought in the young wolf’s abominable bargain.”
Merry Christmas to all my Skary Skouts (that’s all of you, you know!). And if you don’t celebrate Christmas, then happy holidays!
Since it’s been very busy here with the move, I didn’t have time to prepare anything else this year. So, here’s a collection of my past Christmas illustrations!
Christmas Portrait
(More below!)
First of all, thank you all SO MUCH for all the wonderful birthday messages! I’ve been in the middle of moving from LA to Portland for the last few days, so I had no idea until this morning. :)
It’s going to take me a little while to get all set up and going again out here, but you’ll see new stuff from me as soon as I’ve finished slaying the cardboard box dragon that has been growing in my hallway.
Portland is lovely, and I have the world’s coolest apartment. It’s a hundred years old, still has the original telephone in it, and I keep finding other little surprises. Surprises like hidden doors and wall safes and compartments in the stairs and closets. I found what may very well be the portal to my Other Mother in the kitchen, but I can’t get that door open which is probably for the best. ;-)
Anyway, more stuff from me soon. Just wanted to pop back in and say thank you to all you lovely folks!
