I've built an archive for the Year In Waiting strips:

Will try and have #12 up soon.

THIS IS THE STORY OF TWO DUDES

Sorry, I am currently too busy for commissions.

- I have a phobia of jellyfish.
- On the 23rd of March every year, I smoke a single cigarette.
- I once followed John Denver around a fairground, convinced he was friends with Kermit the Frog.

So who are these guys, anyway?

Hi! You've probably noticed that the majority of my recent artwork features two original characters. TJ (skinny one with dreads) and Amal (built one with gray streak) are the protagonists of a graphic novel I'm currently working on and hope to have out some time in 2010.

As for the story, it's... uh, it's a road trip, comedy, romantic... stoner... drama. Thing. My husband jokingly refers to it as "Harold And Kumar Go To Waffle House And Fall In Love," so yeah.

If you're interested, check out the website.
Mature audiences, please. There's a LOT of cussin', some drugs and sex, and a few helpings of hash browns.

OH DEAR HEAVENS! :iconeeeeeplz:

Amal and TJ, I am such a fangirl. :love: I just have one question, HOW CAN YOU BE SO GREAT!? No that was not the question. Really it's about payment for the comic when it's time to sell it, that's the goal right? What will it cost and what are the payment tools? Cuz I'd really like one, it really is that great! :>

It is a very comforting thought, especially for people who
tend to never remember where they put their things.
It really depends on whether I self-publish or it gets picked up. I'm pretty much banking on self-publishing, though, since I want complete control and all rights.
The book will probably be somewhere in the $15~$20 range depending on final length and print costs. (Heh, the more I get done, the more I suspect 250 pages might not be enough.) As for method of payment, I have no idea, as that's far off in the future - my main priority is making sure folks overseas can order a copy. :)

I'm hoping to have it all done by the end of next year, so I can't imagine it going on sale earlier than Nov/Dec 2010. I wish I could work like a real comic artist and churn it out in like a year, but... can't afford not to have a fulltime job.
Ok, then I know.:meow:

That's great, I'll wait patciently til it's finally done, cuz I've really fallen for this comic. And I will cheer for your dream to become a real comicartist, that I don't think is impossible cuz you're very good. The development of the story looks very well thought throu and the characters... You've made me such a fangirl! :iconimhappyplz:. So, GO YOU! :icononicheer:

Your story of two dudes is by far one of the greatest things to ever come out of the human race. period.

Your waitress comics are so awesome. I worked briefly at a restaurant. I had options and figured it wasn't worth it and decided to work at a bookstore instead. Keep up the awesome work! :D
Thanks!
During that time, I was pretty consistently seeking fulltime employment in my field, but essentially went 19 months without a steady job D:
I hit the breaking point in February of this year. IDK how many strips I can do, but maybe I'll reach the end :D
I'll be reading! :D
I first saw TJ and Amal on Y!, and I instantly became SUCH a fanboy! *Glomps*
!!! Thank you for the fav !!!
