Black Ink Bird

And by fruity I mean really, really RED. Here’s a preview of the up-coming layout:

If the site looks wonky to you right now, that because it under construction. I’m working on figuring out the latest version of ComicPress and making it look pretty. So stick around! Comics are still here if you look in the archives.

I finally finished it! Here’s my pin-up of Jezebel from Blackbirds.

And here’s the contest entry that won a free copy of the book! It’s by Dayanna Rodriguez, a very talented artist and student at the Savannah College of Art and Design (my former alma mater). You can check out more of her work here.

BlackInkBird.com now has a spiffy new page devoted to Blackbirds: it’s a reference point for the summary, sample pages, and reviews. Strip #5 is also up! :)

PS: I canceled the planned Michael Jackson tribute after coming to terms with the fact that my remorse was fueled by the hype. It’s sad that he’s gone, but it’s not any sadder than the thousands of lives plagued by famine, disease, and war every day.

So, apparently, PETA has started a new campaign that aims to shame people of size (or people who, thanks to the media, mistakenly perceive themselves as people of size) to go vegetarian/vegan.

Because, you know, vegans/vegetarians are often 10-20 lbs lighter than those who eat meat. Because that’s what animal liberation struggles are all about, right? Being thin. RIGHT?!
