Has been kind of a mess this year. But things are beginning to turn around! Starting soon, I will have a less demanding schedule at my day job. I will have an extra day off which I plan on devoting to making art!

My tentative plan is to start a bi-weekly updating schedule for this website. Probably not comics, since I don’t has aspirations of being a web-cartoonist… More likely updates on what I’m up to. Drawings, dolls, etc. I think bi-weekly to start will be manageable for me. Hopefully as things progress, I will make updates more frequently.

Anyhoo, thank you for sticking around! I know I can get very quiet from time to time. But I’m still here and I’m ready to work on making something of myself.

P.S. Here are some nerdy doodles:

I’m on a fantasy kick…

That’s good! Right?

I’ve been working a lot. At my day job and on my Nonesuch dolls. I haven’t been drawing much lately, but I plan to remedy this soon. I started two new Tumblr blogs that I’ve been updating a lot more frequently than this poor website. Here are the links!

nonesuchgarden.tumblr.com
This one is for Nonesuch Garden. It’s purely photos of my dolls at this point, but I may start actually blogging a bit about them, too.

gummibaehr.tumblr.com
I’m a little shy to give out this link because I feel like I’m a boring blogger. But I made it for myself so it’s okay! I’m blogging everyday for 365 days to help motivate myself to work harder on my art and make it my top priority.

I do plan on updating this website more. I have a comic project in the works (unrelated to my graphic novel) that I hope to reveal soon. In the meantime, please check out my Tumblr blogs!

Hooray!

Just wanted to drop in and let everyone know that I am alive and well. I do apologize for the radio silence for the past two months. MoCCA was AMAZING! I had a really great time and met so many wonderful people! It’s always really inspiring to be around so many kind and talented people. It was a nice break before coming home to sort out my life.

As of three days ago, I am officially moved out of my parents’ house and living with my boyfriend in a decent little apartment in the town we both work in. For past two months I’ve been hyper focused on apartment hunting and keeping my head screwed on straight. So I haven’t had much time for making art or keeping up with my website.

But now that I’m getting settled into this new chapter of my life, I’m feeling very optimistic! There have been some exciting developments regarding my comics career that I now have time to focus on. I will also be hopefully updating this website a lot more regularly!

Stay tuned!

I will be exhibiting at table F6 with my lovely friend, Patricia Burgess. I will have a variety of dolls, comics, and some miscellaneous things for sale. Stop by and say hello!

And here is some art:

A watercolor commission for a very bright 13 year old! These are her original characters from a story she’s writing. I had fun making this for her.

A “character sheet” of my dog, Mae! I drew this as reference for a friend who is painting a picture of Mae for me. Mae is TERRIFIED of cameras, so I drew her instead.

An elephant! Yay! I thought he was cuter without tusks so I guess he’s a baby elephant.

I’ve been on a kitty kick lately!

THE END! I hope you enjoyed reading my little travel journal comic! Eighteen pages isn’t too shabby if I say so myself! It will be printed up nice and debuting at MoCCA next month! Hooray!

P.S. If you want to read from the beginning, click here! If anyone wants to proof read it for me, I will be super grateful! My spelling can be atrocious at times.

Buildings are hard to draw!

I have one more page to go to wrap things up and then I’ll be working on getting the print version together. Wish me luck that it’s finished before MoCCA!!

P.S. Website stuff: I deleted some subscribers from the members list that looked suspicious to me. (Lots of weird numbers and characters in user names, multiple accounts from the same company, etc.) My apologizes if I deleted you and you’re not a spammer!
