Hi all, sorry I’ve been less-than-diligent on my blog updates below.  I’ve had such scant few hours of personal time a week, that I figured I would dedicate them to updating the comic, rather than my blog.  You can follow my updates on life in my Twitter and talk more on the Nerdcomics Forums, but it’s all just been crazy hectic busy. My job (as comicked here) has gotten crazy-go-nuts, but I guess that means I won’t get laid off. And another plus, I’m moving in a month! Horay! (although I wonder if that will make me any less busy… * looks around for guests comics shiftily*) Seriously though, if anyone would like to/are inspired to draw me a guest comic for sometime in the month of December, it would be greatly appreciated because I know I’ll be very busy trying to keep up with moving, work, art, and the holidays.

I’d like to take this time to thank the awesome guys at I Can’t Draw Feet for giving me a great shout out today! Their comic is just wonderfully hilarious and well done – I’m flattered that talented writers and artists might find The Glass Urchin likable. I would say to check out their webcomic, but I’ll bet you’ve already read it on your own or have come to The GU through their webpage.

I still miss my Ashes… Coming home home isn’t the same without you to greet me at the door.

So it seems I haven’t really updated this bloggish type area in a long while! Over a month (just a little!). Many apologies. Things have been going on and it’s crazy times.

What’s new in my life? I’ve been fostering a cute stray calico; experimenting with new kinds of art involving ink brushes, bristol paper, and tones (so check out updates to my art gallery); and last weekend I got to hang with webcomicker Ross of The System and some old and new friends all night long. I’ve generally been quite busy and between the kitty and Frey’s running wheel breaking down and squeaking all night, I’ve also had a huge lack of sleep. So if my comics have been terse or sparse, now you know why!

In other news, I apoligize for not sharing these great fanart-type pieces with you sooner! From Shade comes a beautiful xmas gift illustration (love the bristly painted look and texture!), from friend and previous co-worker Ray comes a piece on the other end of the spectrum with hard lines and tones that’s cute and simple, and from webcomicker Jhorsley of Y2CL comes a neat fanart drawn on the back of a comic page!! Thanks all! They’re freakin’ awesome!

You read that correctly! The two gals of Nerd Comics (yours truly and the wonderful bree) are going to Meredith Gran’s New England Webcomics Weekend. It was just so crazy we had to go, and we got lucky and were able to find a car in the nick of time (many thanks to Mom and little sis )! So we’ll be there, but unfortunately only on Saturday. It’ll be good times I’m sure, meeting up with good friends and making some new ones! If you’d like to meet, please get my contact information by e-mailing me! It’s auilix (at) gmail.com! (By the by, woohoo! That’s me on the right. I don’t think I’ve posted a picture of me here yet. Don’t I look just like I do in the comic!? It’s uncanny!)

And some great upcoming events that are closer to home are rearing their head, this on by Onezumi: NJ Webcomic Chaos! You can be sure us Nerd gals will be there as well!

Also, hello to all the new people who have been coming to my site. I hope you’ll stick around and enjoy yourselves here!
