New Batch of Sketches!

March 26, 2007

I just updated the Owly Sketches section with a brand new batch of “Owly As…” drawings. Most of these are from my recent trip down to Megacon in Orlando, but there are a few other older ones that I came across recently and finally decided to post. ;)

To your left you can see Owly as Galactus, The Planet Eater! He’s just one of 25 new sketches! I got some incredible requests and we sold lots of books and found wonderful homes for lots of little plush Owlies down in the Sunshine State! :) A big thank you to all of the new and long-time Owly fans who came out to show their support!! See you all next year!! :D

In other news, the Owly / Korgi comic book for Free Comic Book Day is all finished and will be on the presses soon! I’ll be posting more information about that as the day gets closer. I think the story turned out great and I’ll post some preview pages soon!

Close Encounter of the Hummy kind! :)

March 10, 2007

Well… this isn’t really an Owly post, but it kinda’ is in a way. :) Since last November, we’ve had a little visitor in our yard. She’s tiny and quick and makes the prettiest sounds… she’s a little hummingbird! We named her “Twitter” because of the sweet little sounds she makes. It really is a rarity to have a hummingbird that sticks around in the winter, so we’ve felt incredibly honored that she stayed with us. Almost every day, she would sit outside my window and preen and guard her little hummingbird feeder. Since all of the plants are sleeping for the winter, she was dependent on our supply of nectar (a mixture of sugar and water). Some nights it was a real struggle to keep her nectar from freezing, but her thankful chirps in the morning always made it worth it!
