Cover Concept for Snow #1.

Courtesy of Jessi Sheron (lilylilymine.tumblr.com), here is the cover for issue 1 of “Snow”, our new comic which we are currently pitching. Check out this image as well as the following concepts for our characters and creatures.

Adira is a girl who’s never committed to anything. She drops things almost as soon as she starts them. The only thing that she’s ever really cared about is her sister, Soraya. Soraya is eternally cheerful and always looks up to her big sister.

But tonight Adira awoke to a nightmare. Soraya is missing. There’s no sign of their parents. And something is very very wrong. Adira is about to experience a new and terrifying world full of monsters.

Can the girl who could never commit to anything be the hero her sister needs her to be?

If this sounds like a book you would like to see, make sure you reblog and spread the word. We are in the process of pitching Snow, so show those publishers that this is the sort of book you’re interested in seeing.

So I got like 50 new followers and like 2k reblogs on that silly little comic I drew yesterday, so New followers HELLO!! Also please check out my other projects like this awesome comic I’m doing right here with Jeremy Whitley!!!!

Reasons Why I Would Totally Read This:

- Female protagonists

- Female protagonists of color

- Female protagonists of color who are sisters

- also dragons I saw dragons there are dragons I love dragons

- and demon things? YASSS PLS

- I don’t see a single chainmail bikini so that’s like plus one million points for y’all

- another million points for Badass Big Sis Weilding a Longsword

- really any fantasy story with strong female protags has got me, that’s it, so simple I know and yet so weirdly hard to find

REBLOG FOR SUPPORT AND SIGNAL BOOST PLS

That looks like exactly the kind of story I want more of on my bookshelf.

This is exactly the kind of story we need more of.

Let’s keep producing more of this. I love that I’m now living in an age where people are being loud and active about representation in comics and media.

The designs..The concept…So keeping an eye on this.

Jessi has just sent me a handful of finished pages. I’m trying to decide if I should post them.

Watches are for telling time, but this planetarium watch steps it up by following the orbits of planets in our solar system. Mercury through Saturn move around the dial tracing the real-time motion of planets around the sun while a comet marks the more practical time of day.

The Douchebro of the Week Award (let’s make that a real thing, mmk?) goes to the fuckers at WePay, an online fundraising site that recently canceled the fundraising campaign of Eden Alexander. Eden is a porn performer who had an allergic reaction to a common prescription drug, so she was crowdraising $4,000 to pay her medical bills. The geniuses at WePay decided she didn’t deserve money because she would use it for porn. (Which, who even gives a fuck if she was? WE KNOW YOU GUYS ALL WATCH PORN, TECH BROS. BE COOL.) So they canceled her campaign and refunded her supporters’ money.

Long story short, Eden moved her campaign to a different site and exceeded her goal. But WePay, man. Y’all are douches. Read more about it here: http://valleywag.gawker.com/wepay-blames-the-rules-for-withholding-medical-funds-1578017696

Remember that time Scamp hosted SNL?

In a surprising move, a commencement speaker at Haverford College on Sunday used the celebratory occasion to deliver a sharp rebuke to students who had mounted a campaign against another speaker who had been scheduled to appear but withdrew amid the controversy.

M-Saunders (706738) writes "It weighed 13 tons, had 5,200 vacuum tubes, and took up a whole garage, but the UNIVAC I was an incredible machine for its time. Memory was provided by tanks of liquid mercury, while the clock speed was a whopping 2.25 MHz. The UNIVAC I was one of the first commercial general-purpose computers produced, with 46 shipped, and Linux Voice has taken an in-depth look at it. Learn its fascinating instruction set, and also check out FLOW-MATIC, the first English-language data processing language created by American computing pioneer Grace Hopper."

Princeless - The Pirate Princess #1 Cover (not final)

Courtesy of unassumingpumpkin.tumblr.com and tenbadits.tumblr.com.

This is the second time anybody outside of the immediately Princeless family is seeing this.  Second because I shared it with Janelle Asselin on twitter earlier this week after describing the miraculous site of a comic book cover with three teen girls of the different ethnicities, fully clothed, and without implants.  Because it can be done and it look bloody amazing.

Happy Free Comic Book Day everybody.

This looks so good :D

St. Vincent was strange, which I appreciated. If the Talking Heads had never been invented, she could take their spot.

ABC’s new show, Galavant, for those who can’t get past the region lock on Youtube

I… it… you….

If someone mixed The Princess Bride with Spamalot! and threw in some Blackadder and finished it off with a dash of Mel Brooks, you might get something like this?

Or not….

today it was announced that famous actor Ian McKellen will be playing the role of a 15 year old girl in a new movie. in defence of the bizarre casting choice, the director said, “well, he was the most talented actor available, so I’m sure he’ll be able to portray the role convincingly”

Two fans wrestle over the rights to Edwin Encarnacion's bat after it went flying into the stands.

After Edwin Encarnacion of the Toronto Blue Jays lost control of his bat, sending it flying into the stands, two fans had a bit of a tussle over who would get to take home a souvenir.

Texas fans are getting ornery!

I mean, come on guys, it's a bat!

Can't we all just get along and act like gentlemen, like this young Rangers fan from earlier in the game?

Members of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion take part in a parade ceremony in honor of Joan d’Arc at the marketplace where she was burned at the stake (Rouen, France).

May 27, 1945

The 6888th Postal Battalion was an all female, all black unit responsible for sorting every piece of mail sent to US troops in the European theater.  Letters from home were vital to maintaining morale, yet when the 6888^th first arrived in Europe, letters were stacked to the ceiling of their temporary post office.  Some letters had been in storage for as long as two years.  Sorting the 90 billion pieces of mail sent to American troops in Europe required the women to keep track of the location of every US solider in Europe, including all 7,500 Robert Smiths.  Some mail was merely addressed to “Junior” or “Buster.”  Yet thanks to their round the clock sorting, 65,000 letters went out three times a day to soldiers throughout Europe.

The women served in Birmingham (UK), Rouen (France), and Paris before being sent home at the end of the war.  Like many female units, their work was not honored with any fanfare at the time.  In 2009 the 1,000 women who served in the 6888th Postal Battalion were finally honored by the US Army at the Women’s Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery.
