NYT Bestsellers Week 4:I don't know how I can still be surprised anymore, but I am!
Mouse Guard Winter 1152 is at #9. You can check out the full list here: NYT Bestsellers Graphic Novels
Dragon*Con:
I will be set up at Dragon Con (Sept 4-7) in the Artist Alley. In attendance will also be Mythbuster Adam Savage. I didn't get to meet him at SDCC (despite my bribe of a free drawing to both him and whatever fan of mine brought him to my table). I hope that perhaps I'll get meet him at this show...and I'm making the same offer...
Puppet contest:Last week, I posted about the TVTV Puppet Contest. Well here is my entry: The Snail. He was a puppet I built when I was 16 or so. Unfortunately, I had used permanent marker to trace my pattern and it showed through on the seams and where I had mis-traced. He had also lost his eyes over the years, so I gave him a makeover. He got a puffy paint stippled texture to mask the marker and cool button and feather eyes.
New Runners:A while back I mentioned Sean Wang's awesome comic Runners (This is a pinup I did for him exploring the past crew seen in a flashback from the first series). Sean has been posting pages a every day from the first series leading up to this coming week, when Runners: The Big Snow Job starts! So if you like classic Star Wars and awesome ship and alien designs, check out Runners.
Fan Art:This piece comes from Ryan Cabral who sent me this awesomely moody nighttime piece. I like how cinematic it feels. Thanks Ryan!!

Congratulations on keeping on with the NYTimes list, that's great! I really like the Nightcrawler mouse too.
Evan: Thanks man! It was nice meeting you in Chicago! hopefully we can hang out again some time
Fourth week on the NY list? Roll on more Mouse Guard fans hopefully! :)
Wow more AWESOME fan art and con sketches! Rand + cat is adorable! Good choice with the snacks! Yummy snacks are the best. Also love the stonework, especially the X on the rock. The amount of detail in your art astonishes me continually, and it's one of the reasons I love the B&W Edition so much and am hoping that the Winter one is given a go, because the detail really stands out in black and white in that large size.
Congrats on NYTimes! I love the copy I got and it is a beautifully made book. By the way, I'm also a huge Mythbusters fan and Adam always comes to the Maker Faire near SF. This year, he talked about his colossal failures :) -- http://fora.tv/2009/05/30/MythBuster_Adam_Savages_Colossal_Failures
Brandon: The winter B&W is a go!
Charlotte: I love Adam's talks. The one about obsession is one of the best.
Glad to hear we'll get a b/w Winter book David... hopefully the people producing it won't suffer from all the page overlays needed...!
Woohoo! That's incredible news! You sure snuck that in there very nicely :) Do you have a rough idea when it will actually be relevant for me to tell my local comic shop that I want a copy? And/or are you planning to sell any here through the site?
Congrats on all the success! I love mouse guard and drew this picture in honor of it. http://darkjet9.deviantart.com/art/Lieam-The-Black-Axe-135821248
