Shaenon: More art from Hans. I really, really like this rendition of Gavotte. By which I mean to say, it’s awesome. Also, check out Sweetheart and Unity on a rampage: Unity is much better at rampaging than Sweetheart is. Channing:[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Shaenon: Here it is, even later–but even awesomer–than usual: this month’s Skin Horse wallpaper! By popular demand, I have created a design around Unity’s recent dubious exclamation when trying to convince Remy he should give her a bunch of extra[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Shaenon: I’m going to be a guest at Arisia in Boston on January 14-17. I drew a set of margin illustrations for the program book. These are a couple of samples. The theme of the con is “Mad Science,” so[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
