Sorry I've been so quiet here! I swear my life has just been super busy (and now my notifications are huge and how am I going to read them all and AAAHHHHH!!.. ahem..).

A couple of things to update here. I've been struggling a bit finding the time, muse, and energy to work on art so when the muse strikes (and it's striking hard right now) I just have to go with it.  Right now my muse is striking on snow people.  I've started on a story that is very personal to me and it's something I hope I can share very soon.  It's very different than anything else I've worked on before and will be all visual storytelling (no dialogue).  For now, I'd like to try finishing it before sharing too much but I will share a little sneak peak of it:

I've also been moving along on my webcomic Work In Progress and just finished a page with a bunch of teeny tiny little comic covers which I'll post here shortly (as soon as I collect up all the credits for the teeny tiny little comic covers)

And if watching a bunch of nerdy comic artists drawing and chatting about nerdy stuff (and food) is your thing, check out the latest THEE100's Livestream on YouTube which I hosted.




I think that's it for now...
wait.. Oh YEAH!! Almost forgot. I just watched The Princess Bride which I haven't seen in like.. FOREVER and it was awesome.
Now that's it for now. 

Laters!

Welp, guess I'm a little behind on my "monthly" journals.  Oh well.  I've had a lot going and that's life, but hopefully things will settle down soon and I can start updating everything a little more consistently.  Hopefully REALLY soon because creating is my outlet for stress and I am really, really stressed right now so...

Meanwhile...  Music was another one of my creative passions from my younger days that I'm exploring again now.  As a kid, I was heavily into music and theater (thanks to my Mom) and I really miss that part of my life.  My singing and music writing skills are still a little rusty, but I guess I can either let them get rustier or just bite the bullet and move forward like I did with drawing.  Things can only get better, right?

So here's to moving forward.  Enjoy!



If you're wondering what else I've been up to, you can also find me on Google+ , YouTube, and Twitter

Good Golly, I'm about to turn another year older!  Didn't I just have a traumatizing birthday already?  

Anywho... figured it's been a month so time for another journal entry.  First up, I've been working on a new personal project in an attempt to push through the creative block I seem to be stuck with lately.  I've taken the 100 Days of Comics Challenge (also known as THEE100s) and will be posting pages as I finish them here.  I'm also posting updates on Google Plus

I finished up the most recent page on a Google Hangout  hosted by :iconpeterpalmiotti: with some great artists who are also taking the challenge so go check it out if videos are your thing.  Peter's journal lists the names and links to all the artists on the chat (and yes... my full name is Caroline :D )..

Still working on the Building Robots collab, but like I said I got a little stuck artistically, so hopefully I can start moving on that again soon too.  

..and fan art.  Can't forget fan art.

First, I apologize to everyone about how long it's taking me to reply and comment.  I am going through some personal stuff right now and have not been online much.  Hopefully things will get settled down soon and I can get back to drawing and stuff.

Now for the fun and exciting news...

I have my very first comic book cover now published on ComiXology so go check it out! www.comixology.com/Super-Hater…;

...your destination is on the right.

Looks like I missed last month's journal entry.  Oh well, time flies and all that.  

For anyone who's interested, I created a Jem and the Holograms fan group :icontheholograms:
It's not much to look at right now, but I promise I'll try to keep it updated with updates.  I created it mostly because I'm super excited about the new comic coming out at the end of this month that's being illustrated by the amazing Sophia Campbell :iconmooncalfe: and written by Kelly Thompson, the author of Story Killer and The Girl Who Would Be King (colors by M. Victoria Robado, and if someone can help me out with a link to her work in the comments that would be awesome!).  BUT.. everyone's Jem related art, cosplay, fan fiction, and whatever is welcome so feel free to check it out and submit away!

I'm still working hard on my short comic collab with :iconbrokentales:.  Don't know why this one is taking me so long and I apologize publicly and profusely to my collaborator for the delay.  I've hit some rough spots on one of the pages and have redrawn it a couple of times already.  I think I'm close to what I envisioned now, though.. so hopefully you all will be able to see it soon!  

In other news... I'm expecting to have my first published digital comic book cover soon(ish) so stay tuned!  Shout out to Nick Marino :iconnickmarino: for that ;)  For anyone over 18 (or under with the permission of really open minded parents), I highly recommend checking out Nick's comic work.. especially his newest issue of Holy F*ck (illustrated by Daniel Arruda Massa) that is being published by Action Lab Comics: Danger Zone and is in stores (that are nowhere near me :( ) now. If digital is more your thing, it's also available on Comixology so check it out!

I think that's it for now.  **wheew!!**  (really need to post these updates more often.. y'all think I added enough hyperlinks?? :D )

Oh yeah.. and shout out also to Jeff Graham :iconjeffgraham-art: for picking my goofy coloring of his Hellboy inks as runner up in his coloring contest.  (there's a few more hyperlinks for ya!)

Ta!
