| Here are some things that would make excellent gifts for people you love!
Hey Pais is an awesome journal comic made by a cat! This cat lives with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) yellowcardigan and preachertom and has her own LJ, heypais ! These would make really good presents for someone who likes cats. Actually I am a bit scared of cats but I still really like them. You can read them here and buy them here.
Matthew Scott makes beautiful illustrations and sells them as prints! tedprior bought me some for my birthday and I love them. You can see his website here and buy prints here.
Another person who makes beautiful prints is S. Britt. I am in awe of this guy, he makes the most amazing art! His work reminds me of vintage Golden Books, and that it just about the highest honour I can bestow. His website is here and his shop is here. I bought the Carly the Crafty Chick print and it looks gorgeous!
Apak are amazing! I have bought little prints from them for tedprior before. I can't buy this mug because the shipping to Australia costs more than the mug, but I bet you can get it! Check out their beautiful art here and buy some of it here.
Matt Reidsma makes beautiful, thoughtful comics that will make you happy. He also does request drawings, which would make a brilliant present! Also a super-cheap one: "We're having a sale on Sketches! Little drawings are now almost all $5, watercolors more like $10. Get them while the price is low! If you want a custom sketch, just convo me and I'll draw whatever you like for $5 plus shipping." Whatta deal! Read his comics here and buy his stuff here.
Gemma Correll is an illustrator I've really been enjoying lately. She has prints and cards and an awesome tote bag which would make an excellent gift! Her site is here and her shop is here. | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment   |

Hey you guys! Mungo Bean 2 is finished, printed and available in my Etsy shop! You can buy it before it's even been on the internets! You can trust me when I tell you that it's very good.
PLUS! If you already have Mungo Bean 1, and you'd like to buy the Hattie gift pack, just let me know when you purchase it and I'll swap out MB1 for MB2! | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| You guys I went to the library and I had to put my plastic bag in the lockers because they had food in them (Turkish bread and Turkish delight) (just a coincidence). And they are these electronic lockers and you put in a PIN and press hash and they lock, and you walk away but maybe you walk away without noticing the number of the locker because you are used to walking away with a little key that will tell you which locker your stuff is in? And then I came back and I couldn't remember which locker I used and I started trying all the lockers and none of them were working and when someone has tried opening a locker more than three times that day with the wrong combination it starts a beeping alarm, so I was setting off all these alarms and I felt like I might cry and the librarians couldn't do anything to help me and finally I just walked away.

Hey everybody! A comic that I wrote and tedprior drew is up on Top Shelf 2.0! You can read it here. You can also read the first E&A story here!
I have been neglecting this LJ since I finished the Month of Girls, but I have just finished Mungo Bean Book 2! It will be in our Etsy shop as of next week, and should be online fairly soon. It is a cracker!
Also, if you are in Perth, come down to the Made on the Left Markets this Saturday and buy some things! You don't have to buy them from us but I strongly recommend it.

Mungo Bean Book 2 is coming! I've finished 18 pages and am working on the last ones. Here's a sneak preview! SPOILER: It will be full of ADVENTURE.
Mungo even has a Twitter account: Mungo_Bean. (I have one too @monstacle but it's less full of adventure.) Follow him!

Well, here is the last day! It's a bit late, because I got sick and headachey, but I made it in the end.
This has been a really great exercise. Thank you so much to everyone who posted, it really helped keep me going! I'm so lucky to have talented, clever people to give me advice.
One of the presents tedprior gave me for my birthday was both volumes of Drawn to Life, the Walt Stanchfield lectures. I've decided that my 'homework' for October is going to be reading these books, and working my way through Preston Blair's Animation 1. I've had a lot of fun drawing realistically this month, but I'm really excited about going the opposite way and getting really cartoony.
Have a great weekend!

I'm running a day behind with posting, but I've inked day 23. I still have this damn headache, though, so I'm getting off the computer now. Meanwhile, how about this bright ensemble to cheer up the rainy days?
