Hello, world! Two things–first of all, Foxloft is offering some snazzy new pendants of my bird art! (And while you’re there, check out the other awesome glass pendant designs–I mean, mine are cool and all, but there’s some SERIOUSLY neat stuff up there.)

And big mega-wumbo announcement–is wumbo a word? Wasn’t that on Spongebob once?–Dragonbreath 2: Attack of the Ninja Frogs is released today!

(Like you couldn’t have guessed from the big graphic over there…)

Although people have been getting them delivered from Amazon earlier in the week, and they may be in stores already (I’ll have to check) but yay! Book two is officially out! How cool izzat?

Hi, gang!

Just a note to let you know that I will be out of town for a convention next week, which isn’t that big a deal except that my printer will ALSO be out of town with me! Which means that I have to ship it in advance and everything, and ship it back, with the end result that any prints ordered in the next week and a half will have a delay in being shipped out. I’m hoping to have everything back up and running by the end of the month, and this shouldn’t be that significant a disruption, just wanted to letcha know.

Any prints ordered before the 15th will be going out on schedule, everything from the 15th on is gonna be delayed.

Originals should still go out just fine.

Thanks!

Good heavens, is it 2010 already? I’m appalled. I think my brain is still back in October somewhere.

Nevertheless! Onward and upward! 2010 awaits!

This year’s conventions (so far) are as follows:

Jan 22-24 : Further ConFusion, San Jose CA
Feb 5-7 : WTHCon, Greensboro NC
Jun 4-6 : A-Kon, Dallas TX
Jun 25-27 : AnthroCon, Pittsburgh PA

Come and see us there! Meanwhile, new art on the website goes up as it happens, and you can always contact us through the contact form!

Nifty thing, new from Foxloft–a hand-carved Tagua pendant, in the form of our very own Red Wombat!

I’ve got two of these pendants, one in a wombat and one in a wild boar and they really are cool and very wearable. (Also, Foxfeather is awesome. I’ve got to scan the walrus-and-radish she drew for me–made the rest of us look like rank amateurs. And she likes musk-oxen. Nobody who loves musk-oxen can be bad.)

We’ll hopefully have some more pendants available in the future–I’m contemplating doing Biting Pears, although I’ll have to tweak the design to go so small, and we’re looking at some of the glass-pendant-prints in the near future, involving the Happy Barn Owl and Teeny Lovebird designs. Definitely look forward to more cool stuff from Foxloft and Red Wombat in the future!

Whew, way too long since I updated! We have new art, which you can find by wandering through the gallery and clicking anything with “updated!” next to it. We have cool news–I’ll be the art guest of honor at FurtherConfusion 2010, and will be a returning GoH at Midwest Furfest in November. Dragonbreath is in its fourth printing, which isn’t too shabby for a book that came out in June, and Dragonbreath 2: Attack of the Ninja Frogs, which will come out in February, has been selected as a Junior Library Guild Selection!

And I just finished art for Dragonbreath 3. And next month I have to write Dragonbreath 4. I think I get to sleep at some point after that, but maybe not.

*pant, pant, pant*

Two exciting new things, though–we have Biting Pear figurines available for pre-order! I’ve got photos of the preliminary models, and this is gonna be pure awesome!

Next up, this is the last week to pre-order the hardcopy version of Irrational Fears! I’ve got my pre-press copies, and man, they did a very nice job.

So that’s it for now…I think…

As the title says, the long awaited Digger 4, including the special exclusive “Know Your Hyena Elders!” content, can now be ordered on-line!

Order Digger 4 Now!

A limited number of signed copies, however, will go on sale next Wednesday, at 8AM and 8PM Central (they want to make sure people in different time zones have a shot at them) I’ll post the link to that next Tuesday.

Well, we’re having some hosting issues–i.e. “OH MY GOD, WHERE IS THAT BANDWIDTH GOING!?”–so while we’re open for business, we’re not doing the big re-launch until we migrate the site over to a new host.

Meanwhile, however, if you’re here, consider it like the week before the Grand Opening. You can still check out the art, order the art, poke the art, even buy the art, we’re just chucking more frogs into the server to handle the eventual crowds.

In the meantime, happy gardening Cthulhu says hi!

Ladies and gentlemen, I announce with great pleasure the launch of our brand new website! Welcome to Red Wombat Studio!

The new website is much easier to update and keep track of, so you can expect much more regular updates than Metal&Magic, and it has some handy new features, like the “Latest Image” box up on your left, and “updated!” tags in the Gallery so that you know when new art’s up. We’ve got direct links to a bunch of my books on Amazon, and even a calendar of upcoming appearances!

Big thanks to Kevin of Dark Canvas Media for getting the site up–some parts of it were straightforward, but some of it required black magic as far as I’m concerned…

Most excitingly, we’ve finally got the new shopping cart system up and running, so you can order art on-line! How awesome is THAT? (I’m excited. Mind you, I’m easily excited…)

Now, you may notice that not all of my art is in the gallery. Since I am stupidly prolific, it’ll take awhile to get everything uploaded from years gone by. So I’m adding art over time–there’s hundreds of the things!–but if you’re missing an old favorite from the gallery, you can drop me a line at the contact form and I’ll see if I can’t get it up pronto!

Likewise, if you find any bugs–and we’re still working the kinks out!–please don’t hesitate to drop a line!

Thanks to everybody for waiting on our nifty site redesign, and I hope you find stuff worth waiting for!

A new painting up in the gallery, which you can probably see over in the sidebar on the left.

It’ll probably be another few days before the site goes live, but I figure I’d get in the habit of uploading…
