Wow...so things have FINALLY started to settle down at the new Kevin/Sarah house and we now have reliable internetz. HUZZAH!! So now it's time to give you guys an update on the general state of Kevin. We've got a lot of ground to cover, so let's get started...

THE BIG MOVE
Sarah and I have successfully set up our studio/office space at the new house. As well as the kitchen, bedroom, and library. Still have to do the living room, which means no video games for me *sniff*, some other odds and ends. I figure that stuff can be put on hold while I catch up on commissions, contract work, and updating comics.

Oh yeah, COMICS!
You'll notice I have a new Mascot comic up. Wanted to do a few strips about the move, and then it's back to gold pants, godbeards, and other such insanity.

Also, I want to start doing more fan comics, but I'm gonna need to make a deal with you guys. More on that in a later post. First....!!

Pin-Up Challenge!!

I say it's about time we wrap this up, don't you? Check out the gallery of submissions here and reply to this journal with your five favorites. After this weekend, I'll do the poll to decide the winner. Since I did get at least ten entries, I will be doing my own pin-up for everyone to see and the winner will get the original art for it. (that is, after I send the prize sketches out for the last two contests, which should happen this week XP). In the meantime, I've posted a poll to find out which character you guys would like to see done as a pin-up.

My brothers finger and his dog
I mentioned in my last post about my brother losing his finger. Forgive for not clarifying the situation. Check the comments of that entry for the full story. He's doing okay, though the finger can not be reattached. Both dogs are also okay, but my parents will be taking possession of the boxer since her and my bro's first dog just can't get along. Sad that Darren had to lose the tip of his finger to find that out. On the plus side, he still insists on playing guitar even with a missing finger so he's become kind of legendary in our circles.

Art of Kevin Bolk Exhibit at the Greenbelt Arts Center
The fine folks at the Greenbelt Arts Center, for whom I did the Little Shop of Horrors art, is presenting an "Art of Kevin Bolk" exhibition now through late December. You can check out (and purchase) original art from the "mascot" comics as well signed prints and other goodies. If you're the DC-Metro area, go see the play and the exhibition. Both are quite awesome!

ANIME USA!!
And last but not least, Sarah and I will be set up in the artist alley at Anime USA in Crystal City, VA this weekend. If you like anime and such things, come by and say "Howdy!". It's a fun show and a great venue (Hyatt Regency Crystal City is one my most favorite convention hotels. So many memories).

Well, I think that's it for now. Damn, epic update is epic. Thanks for reading, gang, and I hope you're all doing well and keeping busy (well, not as busy as I've been ;-P). Later!
