Shaenon: Now that we’re in the Skin Horse endgame, I might as well share thumbnails for ideas we didn’t end up using. Here’s a scenario where the crew was going to distract Ira at a crucial moment by having him[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: I wish I had a brilliant thesis behind each of these wallpaper illustrations, but this one was based entirely on the concept “balls.” Ha ha, balls. Awesome. As usual, if you make a donation in any amount to the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: It is deeply humbling and also kind of terrifying when someone puts my art on their actual body. Hugh Eckert commissioned me to design tattoo flash of his pets, and now here they are. Look at these good babies![…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Hey, here’s something we haven’t seen in a while. A Skin Horse playlist! I only get to do these under special circumstances. Channing: Glimpses into Shaenon’s music library are always fascinating! Here’s hoping you find some of these tracks[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: And another playlist! I’m going to miss making these so much. Channing: Won’t lie, got a little misty listening to Comes a Time in this context.
Shaenon: Some more thumbnails for strips that didn’t make it into the comic. Yes, I had to cut one of these because the strip has been running for 14 years and CD trunk changers no longer exist. Channing: When you[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Last week I was in Athens, Greece for the Comicdom comics festival. I got to draw Wonder Woman for a sketch raffle event. Please enjoy my Wonder Woman with cats, the smaller Wonder Woman I drew on the back,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Now that Sweetheart and Unity are in space, I thought I’d do some optimistic midcentury-style space race art. This is vaguely influenced by Ward Kimball’s animated space shorts for Disney television and by Soviet cosmonaut posters. As usual, if[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Everything is hard to draw. It seems unfair. Channing: In Shaenon’s defense, she makes it look easy, even though it isn’t.
Shaenon: Thank you so much to Sabrina C., age 17, for this portrait of Sweetheart and Unity. The props are essential to expressing their character. I love it. Channing: It really is a perfect distillation.
Shaenon: Oh my gosh, look at this. We’re working on the final two volumes of Skin Horse! These books will be crowdfunded through Zoop starting on June 5. That’s two Sundays from now. Keep an eye out! Channning: Thanks for[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Some recent thumbnails. I was reluctant to bring in Mell from Narbonic, but it was fun to draw her again. Channing: One of the great struggles of doing a follow-up comic in collaboration with a fan of your previous[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: This is it! We’re crowdfunding the final two volumes of Skin Horse on Zoop now. If you’d like to back them and get books, head on over. Thanks so much for sticking with us through this strange trip, and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: Could these be…our final wallpaper designs? I made wallpapers based on the covers for the upcoming Volume 11 and Volume 12. (By the way, these volumes are funding now on Zoop, and if we hit the next stretch goal[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Shaenon: This week of Skin Horse will be the last. Thank you so much to everyone for following us this far. It’s going to be very strange to have these characters absent from my daily life. If you’re interested in[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
