Coffee and Cigarettes

Only one page this time! Teirgan - hiding in plain sight. He’s quite good at blending in when he feels like it.

ALSO - I have two conventions coming up!
Small Press Expo Sept 15-16, Table I3
Intervention Con Sept 21-23, Table 20
both in Bethesda, MD

Also, if you are new or do not already know, earlier this year I scored a ~*PAID*~ comic contract to draw Kindling, a post-apocalyptic webcomic I’ve been updating every Tuesday. Since paid work comes first, I’ve been kind of (a lot) behind on my Macchina updates. Kindling is now updating as spreads (2 pages a week) until Book 1 ends next June, which doesn’t leave me too much time for Macchina (ideally, I was supposed to have wrapped up chapter 8 BEFORE double updates started, but we see how that worked out…). There are 10 pages left until the end of this chapter, and I’m going to work super hard to get them for you guys as my time allows! I love Macchina with all my little heart, and have no intention of ever leaving you guys high and dry! <3 It’s my baby, and you will have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands.

The game plan is to finish Chapter 8 ASAP and then take some time to BREATH, finish editing my manuscript which is in DIRE need of edits (i wrote it in 2007… I’m up to chapter 13 in rewrites) and.. COMPILE VOLUME 2!!! which is chapters 6-8. Chapter 9 will start in 2013 (actual date TBD).

For now, please please check out Kindling! I work very hard on it, and it’s what’s going to buy me a new computer in October/November so I can start livestreaming again and be able to color these chapters for print. You have no idea how much it means to me to be able to make enough money on comics to have been able to drop Fridays at my day job. One step closer to full time freelance! <3

Much love
Deanna
