It’s been a little quiet around these parts due to the frigid late winter weather, but the individual artists of Studio Sunday continue to work unhindered!
In addition to freelance jobs and making work for Starship Milwaukee’s 50 for $50 and under show, Josh has a solo show in the works for the Harmony Cafe in Green Bay – everybody go go Josh go! \o/

My apologies for any outages you might be experiencing with our site. Our provider went and mace some network changes resulting in our having to tweak a bunch of settings to get back on line. I believe most of the site is currently accessible .

Tonight was our first venture into the world of UStream! After many discussions (more like one brief conversation… that one time…) we decided that we should try to make a UStream broadcast to help bring more people into the collective and remove the obstacle of distance between us and… everyone else out there. It turned out pretty well for the first go-around, and we even got some folks to chat with us in the UStream chat window! Despite a few hiccups and some major lag, the broadcasting thing was an overall success, and it will continue on next week (and hopefully for many weeks to come!).
Check out our first UStream broadcast here!
This week was pretty laid back since most folks are still out of town for Thanksgiving weekend and other such holiday what-nots, but the crowd that showed up worked on some lovely things!

We had a full house today at Studio Sunday! Tara, Heather (Chapa), Josh, Pietro, Topher, Brent and Jackie were all rockin’ the house with preliminary drawings, Christmas projects and Etsy-majigs. There’s nothing you can’t get done with Jurassic Park and Big Trouble in Little China playing in the background!
Tara, Chapa and Topher all plugging away with their respective projects!

Pietro and Topher are being quiet... too quiet...

Tara’s been held hostage by the MAN lately (day job, ewwwww) and so hasn’t been able to make it to the last few Studio Sundays 
Nevertheless, she steams forward with new work and exciting news!
First up is her recent Milwaukee Gallery Day/ Night at the Caggio gallery:
New work alongside The She-Bear (below) for my show at Caggio. Some of the work I’m not entirely happy with but working on these definitely got me back into the swing of traditional media! Hurray for watercolor!!! From top to bottom: Meeting the Black Dog, White Fox Wedding, Sedna, The Nightingale, and The Golden Stag.
And also, Tara’s Yoyo necklaces have been featured in Country Living magazine! They super cute, so go get some!
My green and blue plaid yo-yo necklace has been featured in Country Living Magazine!!! It is in the November issue article called “Mad About Plaid.” It’s kinda strange opening up a magazine and seeing something that you’ve made… right there. In a magazine. So now I’m selling a whole bunch of yo-yo necklaces and spending my days creating new ones. If you’re interested, check out my Etsy store!

Our time at the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco was amazing. AMAZING.
The pre-show mixer was held at the Last Gasp Books HQ, which was a deligtfully strange place filled with an endless collection of eccentric… things. These pictures barely do the office any justice, but you get the idea:
Last Gasp's lounge -- wall-to-wall, ceiling-to-floor, this place was packed with awesome oddities!
Last Gasp was the perfect place to host the APE mixer, since they opened their stockroom to everyone who showed up! They have a great selection of books for sale back there!
More of Last Gasp's stuff-encrusted walls (and Philippa Rice making an appearance on the right!)
Philippa Rice, creator of My Cardboard Life sitting with an intensely-listening Topher...
Bridgett Spicer, creator of Squid Row, being jovial!
We were shooed out of the building at 9pm, with staff exclaiming "It's legal to drink on the sidewalk outside!" behind us. We took their word for it, and festivities continued.
Brent behind our APE booth!
Our booth got quite a bit of action, as you can see!
Despite what the sign says, Brent actually kicked ass with his caricatures.
Topher being a good salesman while Brent displays a need for his caffiene rations...
The APE afterparty at the Isotope bookstore in San Fran housed well over a thousand people. Good times in another great bookshop!
We met up with Daniel and Dawna Davis of Steamcrow Press at Isotope. Awesome conversations to be had with these two!
Thus concludes our adventures at APE 2009. We met a lot of wonderful people there and got involved in a fantastic community of small-press publishers, independent comic distributors and artists from around the globe — you’ll most likely see us exhibiting there next year, as well!
