Art post.
Listen up, you. Huzzah:

As You Like It: Act I--Ganymede

Heheheh, I bet that made you look twice. No, the art is not mine, but the colors, the flowers, and the general design are. You can see the original inked pencils by Leigh Dragoon here. You're looking at artwork for a comics/graphic novel synthesized by Leigh and I. It's the chapter cover for the first part. I'll be writing, coloring, and laying out the panels for the comic, and Leigh's on character development and art. We both work on the story.

Now for shameless promotion!

Do you know my friend Justin Jordan? Well, he's got a creepy, mechanical, mysterious comic up at Zuda. (If you want to know how it ends, you'll have to vote for him so he can stay on the site!) Best of luck to him! I enjoyed reading it!

A friend of mine asked me to spread the word about a friend of hers who is looking for his missing daughter. Hey, the internet sometimes does wonderful things. Lets see if it can reunite a family. Please check out this video if you have a spare moment.

And just a reminder that if we can cobble together an additional $300 or so to push the donation drive pas $8,000, Sequential Tart's Katherine Keller will donate $500 of her own money to help fix me jaw.

And Salon is doing a series of essays on being, well, poor. How in keeping with the times. (But if it ever becomes so widespread as to come in vogue, I was poor long before it became fashionable! Hahaha, just kidding. It will never be fashionable.)

Y'all should check out Nicki Greenberg's adaptation of HAMLET.

Of course, having said that I have no idea when it will be out, or if it will even be available in the States...

Thanks for the tip. Just to be clear, this isn't an adaptation so much as a reinterpretation. Same core values and core characters, different storyline.

Let's just say, if Nicki's GREAT GATSBY is anything to go by, her HAMLET is not going to be a very conventional adaptation either. I do know that can't get her GATSBY in the States, I think because of your different copyright laws, but you can check out a bit of it at http://www.nickigreenberg.com.

So, I'm not sure if you know this, and even if you do, maybe some of your readers don't know, but there is a non-profit organization that is interested in helping artists get health insurance. I just discovered it today! It's called Fractured Atlas and (http://www.fracturedatlas.org/) and here is the link to their healthcare site (http://www.fracturedatlas.org/site/healthcare/). I met this lady who is a program manager at that program and I vaguely outlined your plight and she said that you'd be perfect for their program (if you wanted it, of course). She was really nice and I thought the program sounded really good, so I'll probably write about it on the comixgrrls lj too, it sounds like all artists should know about it. They're a non-profit basically trying to get cheaper health insurance for artists. Anyways, I hope this helps you!
