A coworker and friend of mine asked me to help them design a tattoo featuring Vulpix. So I worked with her to create this lil design which I'm very happy with/proud of.

She was also gracious enough to allow me to use the design for other stuff, which led to the creation of the sweet holo sticker. Excited to debut them at GeekCraft Expo Twin Cities.

I made a new batch of Parasite Deer for my booth at GeekCraft Expo Seattle next week! But I’m keeping the orange one (I do have several others not pictured)

The First Star - watercolor, acryla gouache, and pen on 8x20in paper. This one's a remake of a digital painting I made in 2004. I've always meant to paint her sooner, but would shove it off to down the road. Well, 20 years later... I'll have prints at GeekCraft Expo STL this weekend (27th & 28th, Webster university) and if any left over, with me at Gen Con, booth 3054 (listed as Fallenlights Studio!)

That's a wrap!

We finished our Indiegogo campaign with $887! Thank you to everyone who contributed. Physical orders are on their way as I type!

We are now EXTREMELY close to being able to raise rates. So close, in fact, that our tiny team can make up the difference on our own, (hopefully with the help of our sales from the next two days at Geekcraft.)

Our new rate is 1.5 Cents/Word!

Welcome to Why Not?!, Episode 7: “Borealis; or The Twins”! Spotify

Apple

As you may have guessed by the title, this is the one we’ve been talking about, where we “chat” about Aurora and Northstar and…a lot of what’s been going on there.

So! We called in some backup and are joined by Sara Netzley! Sara is a professor of communication by day and a romance author and freelance entertainment writer by night. Her first exposure to comic books were the X-Men posters on her brother Chris' (this is how we were able to get her) walls in the '90s, but since then she's read a bunch and watched a whole lot more. Sara teaches classes on journalism, fake news, conspiracy theories, and representation in the media, and she definitely has an opinion about your favorite TV show. You can find her on all the socials under Sara Netzley (Instagram and Threads), and she publishes her rom-coms as Sara Whitney (Instagram and website).

Having competent folks on this early in our existence is…gratifying? Neat? Sure? But, seriously folks, we have A LOT of fun.

In this episode, Chris:

almost pulls a Jean Reno (listen to the outtake)

makes fantastic points re: how we understand characters and stories and how reading the things we love at different points in your life can really peel back some layers

has a great time interacting with his older sister (like, folks!, it’s really quite sweet)

Sara:

wonders why she agreed to come on here

gives a crash course in media theory, specifically re: queer representation

brings up the appropriate amount of information vis-a-vis slash fiction (Tom here: I never thought I’d write such a phrase but here we are)

Tom:

does his favorite thing: a lot of accent work

engages in some unfortunate internet research

also wonders why Sara came on here

really wants a livestream of Thanksgiving at the Baker household this year

Issues covered:

Alpha Flight #7 - The Importance of Being Deadly - cover date February 1984

Written and drawn by John Byrne

Colored by Andy Yanchus

Lettered by Michael Higgins

Edited by Denny O’Neil and Jim Shooter

Alpha Flight #8 - Cold Hands, Cold Heart - cover date March 1984

same creative team as #7

Alpha Flight #9 - A Stranger In My Mirror (specifically the backup story) - cover date April 1984

same creative team as #8

Alpha Flight Issue #10 - Family Ties (specifically the backup story) - cover date May 1984

same creative team as #9

We jump around a fair bit in this one as we pull from 4 different issues to build this tapestry of Aurora and Northstar. We get into queer coding, possibly some incest coding, and address the use of Aurora/Jean-Marie’s split personality. So there’s a lot we address but damn if we don’t keep it as light as possible!

As indicated in the bullet points above, we’ve started to include some outtakes! So please listen to the end for a peak behind the curtain.

We’ve had a lot of fun making this and we really do hope you enjoy it, too. And even if you don’t, a great rating and review costs you nothing. Literally nothing. Not even five seconds, right? Less time than it takes Guardian to cross Canada. (Still can’t believe they did the math that…wrong.)

Check us out at The Why Not Pod to see the full art clips for this episode and leave us a comment; we love to (try to) answer your questions about Alpha Flight!

Special thanks to the Excelsior Embroidery Co. for helping make this project a reality.  Here's this episode's Featured Design: the Sasquatch face patch! You can see this and more at the GeekCraft Expo in St. Louis on July 27 and 28. Mention the podcast and Chris will have something nice for you.

Say hello to the mayor of Goodneighbor everyone.

I'm so excited the new show has gotten people back into the games. It gives me an excuse to make a bunch of Fallout stickers for GeekCraft

Day 1 of vending my art at GeekCraft Expo Madison yesterday (Madison, Wisconsin).

I could think of no better time to do a little light cosplay of Mothman to show off one of my silly mugs I make, and give out hugs to people who need them.

A friend of mine gave me a pin that says "emotional support cryptid" back at KitsuneKon and honestly I think it's going to be permanently attached to my mothman capelet.

[merziggy-printworks]

I did an extremely limited run of my Susuwatari and Warawara prints with hand coloring. Excited to have this at GeekCraft Expo this weekend.
