I finished the cover for Book 4. Depending on the ebb and flow of the marketplace (and my bank balance), it may not drop until late summer, but I thought you'd like to see it anyway.
Amy's canvas poster just wasn't good enough, and the art from the playing cards has been repurposed, so they are never going to appear.
The book isn't finished and there's no back cover, so let patience be your pre-order!
[The last few books have been printed in Hong Kong, with a two month lead time that was too long for a pre-order push. If I can find a domestic printer who offers a comparable price and quality without 7 weeks shipping time on a leaky boat, maybe I can get something like that working.]
The background, does it come completely from inside your head, or does it have any basis in this world? I am wondering if it is based on any particular city. It is very pretty.
Very nice! Great mix of the solid and the surreal - the colors of the gals and crazy bear really pop against the background. Also the position of his mouth leads me to believe he's droning on with some tourist info.
The Oldbourne story will not feature in book but the story that follows it will (where Esther and Erin go to the party), as hand drawn or not I really like those comics. I am working on drawing a little four page insert that explains away the Oldbourne thing.
It's coming down to issues of length now, I didn't want it to be more than 200 pages but I think that's unavoidable because events at the school are spiralling out of my control.

Will it contain wagtails? or maybe some 'tits?
Very Old World quaint!

Are you planning on including the Oldbourne pages in the new Scareodeleria volume?
Yes, I hope to put them in there, that is the plan.
The cover was linked to on Comixpedia, and drew a comment from a DJ Coffman which I thought was kind of hilarious:
"All of that computer art stuff just looks off to me. Looks like he spent a lot of time on it though."
which I interpret as "it looks bad but he sure wasted a lot of time doing it. Time he could have spent doing murders".
I love your style, it's so precise, yet edgy and just pure cool. I'm a big fan of your comics :) All the best.
