I really didn’t plan to skip a week, but having to postpone the time-off I set aside to Take-Care-of-Things by a couple of weeks put the kibosh on what I had intended.

And still no page yet, but some art to share, the ersatz cover and promo art for Book 2 : Chase. This will the art of a new postcard and print both of which will be available at the Stumptown Comics Fest this coming weekend on April 28th and 29th. I’ll be sharing Table B-14 with Kip Manley and we’ll be flanked by Barry Deutsch on one side and Dylan Meconis on the other. (Here, Bill helpfully marked up a map.)

Beyond preparing for Stumptown, I’ve been assembling and shipping Wander Dice Kits. Most are off on their way, though not if it includes a dice cup–I will be finishing those in a day or two. I’ll be making a process post on these two items in the next week or two.

And there’s only a little over week left to take advantage of Spring Clean Sale. The sale in a nutshell: when you buy a print edition of Book 1 : Wander, you get to select a piece of original page art free! Plus, art prints of Dicebox pages are half priced at $10.00 USD! Both deals are good until May 1st 2012.

Since I’ve been asked a few times, I’ll happily sell art without a book, but it’ll be no cheaper; after May 1st I will list whatever art there is left for sale by itself and the price per page will start at $25 and go up from there. You may certainly buy art now and note that you don’t want a book or would rather have an art print of the page instead. Or do what others have–give the extra books as gifts.

As for the next page of Mirth, you’ll find that on Tuesday.
