A-Kon table details

Where to find us next weekend

Posted by Molly on Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

We have received the official table assignments for the A-Kon comic market. We will be located in the downstairs (ground floor) area, section D, tables D-1/D-29 (the upper-left corner on the map). [View map]

As mentioned previously, Kelmar/Firesun Media will not be in town for this convention, but we will have some of his prints for sale (and we will have a fragment of his soul in a bottle, to represent him at his table). Also, if you have contracted with him to have a commission done for pickup at A-Kon, we will have those for you. (Bring photo ID; your A-Kon badge will not be enough, since badge handles aren’t necessarily unique.)

We’ll see you all next week!

Post Office weirdness

We’re not sure why, but we can’t access our PO box right now

Posted by Molly on Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

For some unknown reason—probably either they forgot to send us the renewal bill or we somehow missed it—we can’t get into our post office box at the moment. So, in the highly unlikely event that someone is planning to send us something in the mail, please hold off on that for now, or email us to get an alternative mailing address. We hope to get this straightened out soon.

It’s 2010 already?!

We’re not dead; just “proactively idle”

Posted by Molly on Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

OK, it’s January, and I haven’t posted any updates in months. Sorry about that. We have, in fact, been Working On Things™, despite the deceptive loafing you’ve seen here—the lack of updates is just a ruse, I assure you.

Wiznork is working up some new armor designs; once he gets a prototype finished to his satisfaction, we’ll post some photos here. He's also experimenting with some video game-inspired accessories that we hope to have ready for sale sometime soon, assuming that the process we’re using turns out well.

I’ve been working on some new game items (a couple of lightweight RPGs), and I also have a few new comics in the works. I’m also working on crafting some new handmade maps and replenishing the (at present, wholly depleted) stockpile of hats, cloaks, and other wearables.

Regarding our convention appearances, A-Kon 2010 is coming up in June, and our preparations are already well underway. (Though I’m desperately behind on my costume. Must appear in costume….) We plan to have a positively dizzying array of goods and outlandish services available—and for those of you who came by our table last year only to find that we’d sold out of some item you wanted on the first day, we should hopefully have more plentiful stocks on hand this year. (It will help that we won’t be in the middle of a big move to a new home one month before A-Kon, this time around! )

Kelmar, meanwhile, will be in the dangerously Furry land of California for Califur that weekend, though he isn’t going to have a table there. We’ll have some of his prints for sale at A-Kon, and maybe a fragment of his soul in a bottle, for spiritual presence; but he won’t be at A-Kon doing commissions this year. But you’ll still come to our table and buy our goods, right? You know you want to. Mistress Molly commands it.

We’re still weighing our options on other conventions. If you have a favored convention where you think our shenanigans would fit in—or if you’ll be somewhere and just want us to be there, too—please feel free to drop us a line! The single most limiting factor is distance: Wherever it is, we’ll have to drive there. (Unless you want to buy us plane tickets, of course. ) So, Texas cons are best for us—but we’re open to travel, if the cause is persuasive.

At any rate, a belated Happy New Year to you all, and we look forward to selling you loads of stuff seeing you all again throughout the year!

The Outer Quarter

Being a teenager is tough—especially if you’re an anthropomorphic tiger

Posted by Molly on Monday, September 21st, 2009

Kelmar has a new web comic online. It is called The Outer Quarter, and chronicles the life and adventures of the anthropormorphic Bengal tiger Kage and his friends (and enemies).

The plan at present is to publish the comic on a roughly weekly schedule. There are two pages up at the moment (and Kelmar is frantically trying to get a third done even as I type this article ). It is currently illustrated in black-and-white; depending on how things go, it might move to a color format eventually.

Anyway, be sure to check it out!

Online at Last

The new web site is finally done

Posted by Molly on Friday, August 21st, 2009

The “Grackle 2.0” web site is finally ready to go online! I’m sorry that it has taken so long; it has been a hectic summer, and things took a lot longer than I originally anticipated. Hopefully it will prove to have been worth the wait.

Be sure to check out the community sketchbook (the biggest feature of the new design)! Once you register, you can participate in our collaborative online books (or just have fun posting random images and art).

If you have any questions, suggestions, complaints, or other feedback (good or bad), please let me know! (You can find a link to my email address on the about page.)
