June 20th, 2016Toothy Kit leads the way as Snow-by-Night heads south on Chapter 13, Page 12! Hurray for Adventure! When you vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics, you’ll see a downside to camping when you’re made of snow.
Steph and I are heading back from Denver Comic Con. This has been an amazing show. We’ve met great artists and a lot of wonderful comic fans. We’re only bringing one set of the Volume 1 chapters home!
We also got to meet with Lee Francis, the organizer of Indigenous Comic Con. We’ll have some more announcements about that soon, but for now check out their site. They’ve got some great guests and more are on the way!

June 15th, 2016It’s time for a Toothy Kit Victory Dance on Chapter 13 Page 11! Do you think a younger cousin has a dance ready to go for when she’s proven right? Oh you better believe she does. You can see what Kit is up to next when you vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Steph and I are off to Denver Comic Con tomorrow. I won’t be back till late on Monday. Diane will be handling the next update. We’ll have books, prints, and also stories. Come by and see us!

June 13th, 2016Defiant Elk speaks with Distant Smoke on Chapter 13, Page 10. Grandma runs this town. She does it through the soft power of advice, relationships, and respect. This style of leadership works well for small communities and is intensely personal. A less capable grandma could spell disaster for the community.
In Chapter 14, we’ll see some of the power dynamics in Sherbourg. Things don’t run as smoothly there. However, its power structure is based on law, tradition, and institutions. A weak leader is not as detrimental to the entire community, as the society has other forms of support. There are always trade offs in governmental structures, and it’s not one-size-fits-all.
You can see Toothy Kit’s reaction to hearing about Grandma’s decision when you vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
Steph and I are attending Denver Comic Con this coming weekend! We’re very excited to head out west from our Northeastern Woodlands to the Wall of the West!

June 8th, 2016Toothy Kit wants to join the adventure (and the main plot) on Chapter 13, Page 9. Funny thing. Toothy Kit wasn’t supposed to be a major character in the story. She has different ideas and is very insistent. See what Defiant Elk is up to when you vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics!
I’m venturing west next week! Steph and I are heading to Denver Comic Con. We’ve never been that far west with our books and prints before. Come by and say hi if you’re going to the show. We’re at table AV298!

June 6th, 2016We’re back to Chapter 13 with Page 8! Toothy Kit and Snow-by-Night prepare for a journey down the river. Water flows down.
Defiant Elk and Toothy Kit have a discussion on the next page so see a glimpse of how that goes, please vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics.
If you like Toothy Kit and Defiant Elk, then I’ve got some interesting news for you. Native Realities is hosting the first ever Indigenous Comic Con in Albuquerque in November 18-20. Since I’m not a native artist myself, I won’t be vending, but I’m looking forward to attending!

June 1st, 2016The leviathan flees to the delight of the Morantine on Page 12 of Serpents in the Water. The fleet is safe but Aradie stands in the crosshairs. This wraps up Serpents in the Water by Cindy Mirabile. Thanks for drawing for me, Cindy!
I think it’s time for us to go see what’s going on with the Blaise, Snow-by-Night, and the Liranequois. We’ve been away from them far too long. I’ve missed them! Especially Tooth Kit. She’s a hoot. You can see what she’s up to when you vote for Snow by Night on Top Web Comics! We’re back to Chapter 13 on Monday!
I was at Balticon last weekend. It was a great con. A little chaotic, but a ton of fun. I got to meet a lot of great people. Since they’re all literary fans, they caught onto what I was doing with this story very quickly. I’m looking forward to next year!
The Kickstarter campaign for Tattered Weave is in its final days. We’re almost $8k and already hit our first stretch goal! Michelle C of Ava’s Demon will be designing a Kith (one of the magical pets you can befriend in the game) for us. Come join us for an interactive story after the end of the world.

May 25th, 2016The line is formed on Page 11 of Serpents in the Water. The Morantine pour broadside after broadside into the leviathan. You can see the leviathan’s response when you vote for Snow by Night on Top Web comics.
The line was a devastating formation for galleons and frigates of this era. It covers the weakness of the sailing ship — the fore and the aft, where they have few canons. By forming a line, the ships support each other and concentrate their fire on a single point. The effect was devastating.
I’m at Balticon this weekend! Hanging out with George R.R. Martin who is the Guest of Honor. And by hanging out, I mean I will be in the same hotel. General vicinity counts, right?
**UPDATE!**
I won’t be posting a new page on Monday as it is Memorial Day. The next page update will be Wednesday June 1.
