I saw <a class="tumblelog" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" spellcheck="false">@preservedcucumbers</a>
make a really thoughtful list of resolutions, and was inspired to think
it over. I don’t usually try because I’m so good at failing, but it
can’t hurt to make some goals; I’ll post these on <a href="http://catstalkingwords.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">tumblr</a> and Blogger. In no particular order:<br />
<br />
-layout and print Cats Talking Words minicomic #2<br />-Finish “You Smell Like Pancakes” minicomic<br />-paint some fairies<br />-repair Winged Elf Girl website (even if it’s just a landing page)<br />-outline a concept for a minicomic about the witch in the woods <br />-Attend 3-5 comics/anime/scifi/whatever conventions (as attendee, not seller)<br /><br />I’m
keeping these fairly loose, because as I said, I’m not so great at
completing things on time. but with a whole year, maybe it can happen.

Not all pollinators are bees though! Here are some other insect friends (or drawings of them) that we can't afford to lose. :)<br />

Clearly there are too many social media sites. <br />
<br />
I decided to pick my own theme for Inktober this year, and chose #SaveTheBees because losing pollinators is such a big issue right now, with pollution and habitat loss. I didn't draw only bees, but here is a roundup of the favorite bee drawings I made during the month.<br />

THERE IT IS! :) I had the great job of designing the poster for Oldham County Comic Con for 2018! The reading kiddo is based on a kiddo that I know (though when he was this size he was much more interested in climbing everything than reading).<br />
<br />
I will also have a table at OC3 in February. It might well be the only comics convention that I have a table at for 2018; I'm still debating SPACE. I've talked about this in person to some comics friends over the last couple months but not online - I'll be taking a vacation from the breakneck art schedule of convention tables for a year to try and finish up a couple long-term projects that have languished for most of 2017 because I burned myself out for many months doing 6 shows almost in a row this past spring. With the additional health and stress issues that have resulted from that, I don't want to push myself more anytime soon. Not that I don't like painting Pokemon, but it really has become a hindrance.<br />
<br />
During 2018, I will continue to be on social media and can always be reached that way or via email. :) I hope to come back refreshed and with an amiable vengeance (and hopefully a new book or two) in 2019!Lauren Sparkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02745441296995270328noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7927921462559838656.post-38016881871735773702017-05-07T17:27:00.004-04:002017-05-07T17:28:34.929-04:00Artist Trading Cards: In-between and Indiana Comic Con<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1197292233717540/" target="_blank">Pop Art Con</a> is Saturday 4/7/2017!! I'm excited because this is the ONLY hometown Cincinnati show I'll be exhibiting at this year. If you're of the Cincinnati folk, please do stop by. :)<br />
<br />
I also wanted to share a couple photos from the last few weeks, as I don't usually do that on this blog.<br />

Two were Pokemon portraits, which I readily enjoyed due to both children requesting food items to be included. ;D<br />

Our new old house still has part of a wall ripped out, and no art yet hung up (I haven't yet worked up the nerve to put nails into our ancient plaster walls), but it's time for this comic to start up again. It feels good to get something done. :)<br />
<br />
Speaking of getting things done, I re-printed many of my minicomics in the lead-up to <a href="http://www.backporchcomics.com/space.htm" target="_blank">SPACE</a> this past weekend - including a new Cats Talking Words minicomic collecting the first 46! As I already have over 200 made, it won't be difficult to make a second collection next spring, haha. Other minicomics/other books reprinted include:<br />
<br />
Encounters of the Radical Righteous Band Hippie<br />
Swingin' Along<br />
Winged Elf Girl Sketchbook: 2011-2013<br />
Man on the Moon<br />
<br />
And a new compilation of sketchbook portraits, called "Collecting Faces" (very creative title). I had all of these with me at SPACE over the weekend, and also will have them at <a href="http://gemcitycomiccon.com/" target="_blank">Gem City ComiCon</a> and <a href="https://indianacomiccon.com/" target="_blank">Indiana ComiCon</a> in the coming weeks. Woot woot!<br />
<br />
A few of the newly printed and bound minis:<br />

May your winter not be dreary. :D<br />
<br />
I once again participated in the Buckrider comics anthology for December this year, edited by Pete Aquino! <a href="https://issuu.com/buckrider/docs/buckrider6" target="_blank">Here is the download link for the whole issue.</a><br />
<br />
It was a nice experiment because I also made this 3-page comic into a trifold Christmas card to mail to friends! Below is the comic itself, and photo of assembling the trifold cards.<br />
<br />
Now, winter can be over. Go away, winter. We're done.<br />

Thank you to everyone I have met and spoken to at conventions, online and other events in 2015 - here's to continuing in 2016! May it be full of creation and good discoveries.<br />
<br />
A lot is coming up quickly... my husband <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MTScomics" target="_blank">Matthew Sparks</a> will release two independent comics in the first half of the year, and hopefully in the next couple months we will be moving to a new home that better serves our love of creating comics and illustrations. It's going to be... INTERESTING, if nothing else. HERE WE GOOOOO ~<br />
