Utata, Pegasus Awards and updated webcomics

The photo above was taken by Beckett Gladney for a wonderful photo essay she put together for Utata Speaks. From a recent post in her blog:

"It's only a small part of Utata's big annual project, which has gone live just today. Alanna's story is under Social Essays; there are a bunch of other essays under the various categories, and a lot of talented photographers submitted entries. Utata gets quite a lot of traffic to their site, so here's hoping that this little essay helps raise even a bit of awareness of the issues surrounding fostering and adopting children."

Beckett wrote the essay with the approval of both Luis and Alisa Garcia, and Alisa helped with the writing and editing. It's an informative and moving piece; I encourage you all to read it:

Adopting Alanna by Beckett Gladney

Speaking of Beckett, she and I are putting together a blog about our graphic novel project; I'll post more news about that soon.

The Pegasus nominee ballot is online, for those interested. For those unfamiliar with the event, the Pegasus Awards were founded to recognize and honor excellence in filking. You can find out more info at the Pegasus Awards site as well as Wing Words, their new newsletter.

Congrats to all the nominees!

Speaking of music, I'm tickled to announced that I've been commissioned to do the cover art for Playing Rapunzel's upcoming CD!

Updated My Life In A Nutshell:



I created the above strip for a comparison of e-book readers for the iPhone that I did for Inkygirl earlier this week.

I also updated Will Write For Chocolate again (trying to make up for all the strips I missed earlier in the summer):
