Ohiooooohh

As I normally do after a show, I'm feeling a little under the weather, so I'm just gonna show you the art of the weekend for now. The fourth one in - "Jamie the little Goth Princess" - is for sale for $45 (incl. shipping & handling) if anyone wants to give her a home!

Beware the nudes!!

Yes, in fact, every last one of those images for sale up there will get you fired from your job. If this will work to your advantage, then by all means, open them up at work!

I...

... I blame this strip on NyQuil.

AUGH!! SKYPE!! (GWS#205)

First of all, I'm going to start putting the number of the current GWS strip in the blog entries so it'll be easier to match the strips with the dates when people are going through the blog archives.

Now that I've explained that portion of the title...

SKYPE!! Does anybody else have it? I know two of you do, because I signed up for my own Skype account for the sole purpose of calling two of my international friends without paying for it (because I'm cheap). For those of you who don't know about SKYPE, this is a magnificent service, sounds MUCH better than a cell phone, and makes it FREE for me to call people overseas! I have no idea how it works, but I hope it never stops.

If you're been Skyping for some time now, I have a question for you: are you being SKYPED by random people who have names such as ABSOMORBAVIC SLAMNIFF and other unpronounceable conglomerations of letters?? Or is this JUST me?? Because for the past several months, I have been instant messaged and called by people who obviously DO NOT KNOW ME.

Are these the same people who call the phone numbers they find in bathroom stalls? Because that's essentially what they're doing, except instead of knowing that I'm "a good time," all they know is that I'm in West Virginia and I do comics.

I recently discovered that I can block these random people from Skyping me, and I've changed my settings, but... I just had to ask other Skypers, because this is such a strange phenomenon. It's like running a finger down the phone book and randomly calling people. Like, "Hi, you have a nice name. Would you like to talk about it?"

I don't have anything else to say about this. I just needed to vent, and ask if anyone else has encountered the same thing. Thank you for listening.

And yes, the sign below Clarice says, "Clerks do not have sex with (most) customers."

DANIELLE IS IN THE UK! (GWS#206)

No, not really. But I will be in a couple of days, and this will be one of my last posts for a week. (There will be a gentle reminder posted down here while I'm gone, with some special fan art... if I remember to post it... !)

New GWS will resume next Friday! As long as I have time, I might be able to post some more nudes tomorrow, since there's another model session tomorrow night. If I go to the session, I'll bring the originals to the UK first and they'll be up for sale.

Merry Christmas, Brits! You'll get first dibs on the nudes!

Last post before the UK trip!

Alright, whole new stretch of figure drawings are up for sale, and these are on SUPER-nice, thick, sturdy watercolor paper. To make things simple, all pieces above are $45 a pop, plus $5 shipping.

I'll have them at the Birmingham show this weekend, but if you're interested in any of the pieces right now, go ahead and e-mail me with the number. I'll let you know if it's still unsold when I get home!

Speaking of the Birmingham show, I FINALLY found out where I'll be! Here's a map (watch out, it's a PDF!) - Liz Greenfield and I will be sharing butt space at table 70, and hot damn there are some awesome artists at this show!!

For those of you who are still interested in the pieces that remain for sale, everything that's still here is listed below:

GWS is in Birmingham, UK!!
Badass British McPedro gif was done, as always, by the ever-so-talented
"Mike de Madrid" (or Tanukitsune, which I still can't pronounce)!!

Ooooh, you hate me. Here's why!

I spent all of my GWS-drawing time helping my old roommate Kris Thacker hang photography for his joint show with Steve Schaefer which is going on TONIGHT!!

So tonight, Friday, from 5:00 to 9:00 pm, there will basically be a bunch of free food at the Entler Hotel. :) Seriously, if you're in the Shepherdstown, WV area (eastern WV, northwestern MD, southcentral PA or northern VA), please come out. These two are fantastically talented and have plenty of work at very reasonable prices. I'm thinking last-minute Christmas gifts, personally...

Anyway, I'm seriously sorry about the comic being so late. I decided I'd rather go to bed at a decent hour Thursday night and wake up refreshed before noon Friday to do a QUALITY strip, than stay up tonight all jet-lagged and try to pump out something that vaguely resembles a comic strip.

So come back Friday afternoon for your treat, and hopefully some photos from the UK!! Now it's back to bed for me, seeing as I'm still on Manchester time...

*cough!*

Believe it or not, my Birmingham report is almost finished! But I'm afraid y'all will have to wait until I heal up before it's totally up. I was out cold all weekend and am just now recovering.

Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure Liz will have hers up before mine. And my boobs are in the top right-hand corner of her website, again. I think she has a crush on them. That, or I'm just another rock nerd.

dec.20.06

Cup o' tea.

Here's the Birmingham report, loves!

(Click for a sized pop-up window, or right-click and open in a new window or tab for the full monty.)

Apologies.

Gentlemen, apologies for all those times I swore to you this "isn't a GIRLY comic."

Ladies, apologies for anyone who had a Christmas like this.

2007!

I know it's not January 1st yet, but it's definitely resolution time.

This year, my resolution is not unlike Hazel's - to make Girls With Slingshots the best damn comic it's ever been, and hopefully bump up the readership. And I want you guys to help.

So here's a small resolution to add to your own: to tell at least one person about GWS and send them a link. If you can think of one or two (or ten, or twenty... !) people who you think would really dig the strip, just send them an e-mail with the link to www.gwscomic.com. For your convenience, I've even provided a cut-and-paste message:

Hi there! I think you are highly intelligent and have an excellent sense of humor. You also don't find raunchy, foul-mouthed sex talk offensive. You have a soft spot for cacti and dominatrixes. Thus, you will enjoy this: www.gwscomic.com

Sincerely,
friend.

See? Piece of cake.

So share the love, and help this widdle cartoonist's wishes come true this year. Thank you, have a great New Year's Eve, and remember: if you can't drive home, that's the best reason in the world to sleep with the bartender. Don't drink and drive.
