A few items of business!

First, I recently spent a couple of hours with Erika Moen, Bill Mudron, and Katie Lane, recording a conversation on topics ranging from Family Man details (“how tall is Ariana?”) to How To Make It As A Freelance Artist.  Erika recorded it on her UStream channel, where you can watch the whole thing.  I’m currently editing the audio portion conversation for a new edition of the podcast.

Second, my Crazy Holiday Deal is that through December 25th I’m offering a free sketch in any copy of Bite Me! purchased.  If you’ve been on the fence about buying a copy, scramble on over!  This is extra cool if you don’t get to many comic book conventions, the only other time I draw in books for free.

And lastly, I’m doing a fundraiser for Heifer International this year, featuring watercolor paintings of silly animals (one a day) which I’m selling in my Etsy store.  The paintings have all sold within an hour of posting, so keep your eyes trained on my Twitter feed or main blog if you’re interested in snapping one up.
