Update and Upcoming Conventions

hey there everybody,

figured it was time for another update to let you all know where things stand.

thank you for all the kind words and support – you people are fantastic! it really heartwarming to know people are anticipating the continuing adventures of nadia. it’s an excitement that drives me on as i work on the new pages. speaking of which – the end of summer has geared up to be a lot busier than i expected. as well, on a personal note, there was a death in my family a short time ago, a close uncle, whose passing has become a catalyst for a gathering of extended family on my fathers side. many cousins, uncles, and aunts, some of whom i know others of which i do not. i will be travelling to spain shortly to be part of this first time ever event of my father’s family and greatly look forward to it.

i mention this, as these travels will eat into a good chunk of my time as well it is causing me to accelerate my regular work schedule before i leave. so my days are jam packed with contracted work for the near future. i had hoped to begin updating with kukuburi before leaving, but i would have to put it back on hiatus just as quickly as i would be gone and do not have the pages done to post whilst i am away. so i have decided to wait till i return and can update continuously. the way my schedule looks, updates won’t begin till late fall at best. most likely by mid-october – as the time approaches i will post an official relaunch date.

sorry to make you wait even longer…

the last thing to touch upon is the remainder of conventions and festivals that i will be attending in 2010.

FAN EXPO TORONTO – CANADA Aug 27-29 (this weekend – artist’s alley P40A!)

XV JORNADAS de COMIC, VILLA de AVILÉS – SPAIN Sept 15-18

NEW YORK COMIC CON, NY – USA Oct 8-10

if you’re in the area of any of these great shows please swing by and say hello! as the days get closer i may announce special items that i may have at each of the prospective shows…

talk to you soon,

r.


…and listen.

hey there everybody,

it’s been busy days – i’m not making excuses cause i’m done with that, i’m just gonna work at the pace that i am able, so i’m just here to tell it like it is.

since mid january, on top of my regular workload, i have been spending 10-20 hours weekly hunting for a new home. not a home to rent, but to buy. i recently came to the conclusion that my renting days had to end. so to stretch my spare time even further i have also been taking on extra work to build up my savings to make realize this endeavour.

i thought i could continue with kukuburi through out this – but my time has been monopolized.

nothing is concrete yet, so i don’t wanna jinx myself, but as the month closes i might have some good new. and once the dust settles i can get back to focussing on what i love; comics – specifically kukuburi and butternutsquash. the above picture of nadia is the first thing i’ve drawn for myself since the last kukuburi update. it’s been crazy here.

thank you all for your patience. i look forward to returning when i can – i just wanted to let you know what was going on.

cheers.


a little later today

hey everybody,

just dealing with a bit of a domino effect here of work and a scanner that decided to quit at the most inopportune time.

new kukuburi will be up later tonight…. :)

* UPDATE *

hey all, after a long day of fixing  (or actually temporarily patching up) my defunct scanner i was able to scan in the new kukuburi pages, and mostly colour them, and as much as i’d like to continue i am about to pass out. so i am going to leave the remainder and head home and return in the morning spry and full of energy and wrap things up.

so new pages up tomorrow… the 19th.
