Kevin and the Kitchen Witch


It's been a while since my last post. Here is the cover to a comic I recently worked on. This is my first time working with a colorist. I enjoy collaborations and this was a fun project.

"Kevin and the Kitchen Witch"
Written by Steve Orlando
Pencils and inks by O.Pelaez
Colors by Heather Breckel

Currently, I'm working on another commissioned comic and I have another comic lined up after that.

New York Comic Con is only a couple of days away. It's always such fun. Hands down, one of the best conventions I attend. Last year was even more awesome because the convention dates lined up with the NYC Yarn Crawl. Unfortunately, that's not the case this year. I still may pop into the LYS if my mood deems it so. I really want to make myself a new cardigan, but I might hold off until next year to do that.

Molasses


I finally did it!

In preparation for the big storm over this past weekend, I decided to make some molasses flavored fudge and, lucky me, it didn't turn out a terrible mess. I still have some by my desk which is perfuming my work area with it's lovely aroma.

As usual, I'm working on new art that isn't set for public viewing yet: a couple of different comic projects. I've designed a cute new pair of fingerless mitts that I need to write up the pattern for and get test knit.

Here's something I will show, a Scottish Terrier I painted not too long ago:

Coincidentally, I've been thinking about baking a cake these past couple of days but I haven't done so. Too busy drawing comics :D

Bits


Here is a preview of a painting I finished for a book about robots. The book is grey-scaled so it won't have all the nice nuances of color that are in the original but I like it like that. It makes the original all the more special.

And here are my most recent pair of fingerless mitts I've knit. I LOVE this pattern. It's so simple which is why I love it. It will mix in well with the rest of my wardrobe. The pattern is called "Toasty" and can be found on the blog: A Friend to Knit With.

:)

I want to let people know that my comics podcast is hosting a contest giving away a 3-day pass to New York Comic-Con this October to two lucky winners. It's really simple to enter and the prize is so cool. You can go here to find out how to enter.

Cold Hands pg30

I use vanilla extract to make the best treat ever: FUDGE. Now, I don't have a candy thermometer so I just "eye-ball" it. That works most of the time except when I tried to make molasses flavored fudge. My stove is really hot and it took no time at all for it to turn into a lump of rock hard candy, not chewy, creamy fudge. I do want to try making it again though. I still don't plan on buying a thermometer, but hopefully second time will be a charm.

"With my fist!"
(My guy and I keep quoting that line from Regular Show. It's too funny.)
