After an awesome September issue of Blueprint where the “Beholder Series” got its launch, Emmanuel and I threw together another strip for submission tonight for the October issue of Blueprint Magazine! The issue’s theme is gender and sexuality (amongst other sub-topics like feminism, eroticism, etc). Due to my “out-of-nowhere” work load over the last 2 weeks, the scripting of the half-page script took forever to get to.

I had the concept fairly early on–one that, after you see the strip, seems almost self-explanatory. At least in my head since Hellmouth as a world has been brewing for nearly 6 years! I passed the script onto Emmanuel and, like always, he nailed it on the first go around! His thumbnail sketch was more like rough pencils (at least in my eyes) and he went straight to ink from there. All in one day!

Letters will be done this evening and then off it goes! Another great little chance to show a piece of Hellmouth that may never get a larger story told about it… maybe.

On a related note: If there are any artists out there in particular who have work that they’d like to see in print, please go to the Blueprint Magazine Submission page and consider sending in work for future issues (or this one if it’s not too short notice!!!). There is no pay for the work, but check over the mags content and feel out for yourself whether it’s a product that you wish to support with a contribution. It is a freely distributed magazine in the Kitchener-Waterloo community relying on funding to be produced. If you aren’t an artist but know artists: Please pass on the word!
