It's been a crazy couple of weeks here at Zapanta Studios, let me tell you.  Here's a rundown of the last 21 days, in no particular order:

First, I got the greeting cards into a new location--the Court Street Barnes & Noble, in Brooklyn.  I used the occasion as an excuse to rebrand the cards as Melancholy Greetings.  That meant updating the website and redesigning the cards and existing spinner signs.

Second, I submitted a previously unpublished five-page comic to Walrus Comix, called Trevor and Me--about a loser whose life is changed (for the better??) after befriending a garrulous TV.  I'd originally drawn the pages back in '93, so it was a little painful to look upon a drawing style so far removed from what I'm capable of now.  The temptation to Photoshop the old art was quite strong, but ultimately I left everything as-is, which was the right thing to do. 

Also for Walrus Comix--the gents collectively known as Bransley asked me to provide some Aragones-like doodles for the margins of a print edition of Walrus Comix.  That was a tremendous amount of fun.  I'm still providing content for the site, albeit at a much slower pace than a few weeks ago.

Third, I landed a freelance gig, which is nice.  It's been a good challenge for me, as the subject matter is a little outside my comfort zone.  But I think I'm actually zeroing in on what the client wants.

So, creatively speaking, that's what I've been up to.  And, unfortunately, Hairbat is once again taking a back seat, despite its being at the forefront of my thoughts.

In the immediate future--more new cards, more updates to the site, more new content for Walrus Comix.  And, hopefully, a little bit of Hairbat action, too.

Please, do stay tuned...
