HAPPY NEW YEAR! Today I mailed out the second of two pages for this week. The final page of Episode 2 will be out next Friday! I'm working on it now!

Yesterday I completed the inking for this week's "Part 1" page, and today I completed the pencils for "Part 2." So next comes the coloring for Part 1. Coloring is the one process in this business that I really have trouble with. I mean, I do it well, but it just takes SO DAMN LONG! It's by far the longest part of the process. It just goes on and on AND ON. I can sit in front of the computer for four hours, doing nothing but color, and STILL be only half done on any given page. UGH!

Today I mailed out the second of two Ultra Fem pages for this week. I've been doing two pages a week for the past two months, almost. The current episode is FINALLY coming to a close! Two more pages next week, then a one-page finale the week after that.

January 13 will be the first page of episode 3. It's going to be a logistically difficult story. Lots of characters, including every member of the Ultra Fem Five, plus all three sidekicks. The Martian Manhater and Big Girl will make their debuts, as will Bat Boy and Cattail. Whew!

All this, AND I'm doing full-on commissioned comics pages for a client!

The greatest book EVER published. Period.

Here's a preview of what I'm working on for this Friday. I'm just really pleased with this pencil work!

Uploaded THREE new items today! A new Under Girl wallpaper and TWO holiday greeting cards for visitors to copy and send to friends! They're all on the DOWNLOADS page at the ULTRA FEM site!

I was busy last night! I added a bunch of new items to the WEB SITE, including TWO NEW WALLPAPERS! Plus, I mailed out this week's Ultra Fem comics page. It's a day late, but I don't think my subscribers will mind! It's a large and complex page, with more layers and unusual coloring needs than probably any other page I've done so far. And elements from it were used to make the new wallpapers I mentioned.

And I've got MORE planned before the weekend is out!
