I was struck by sudden and overwhelming inspiration to draw the Piemaker. Just finished Pushing Daisies for the first time!

Hi Gigi! I wanted to ask you a question about colors! I have a problem with choosing colors when there is drastic lighting, whether its really bright light or if the characters are in a really dark, dimly lit place. I’m not sure how to choose the colors that fit the characters (that make them look like they’re themselves, and not different. I hope that makes sense!) So, how do you choose your colors when doing that sort of lighting in your comics?
— waddledoopsI hope this is a little bit helpful!
I’m JUST now getting into Cucumber Quest, and it’s like a whole world of color and light is opening up to me! Thank you, Gigi!

HAPPY CANADA DAY! For Canada Day, read this short Superhero Girl comic I made last year for the True Patriot anthology! It was based on a true experience I had when someone asked me “what makes Superhero Girl a Canadian superhero?” and I was like uhhhhh?
The League of Villainous Canadian Stereotypes was my boyfriend Tim’s idea. He is a great idea man!
Enjoy my Canadian comic and have a great Canada Day! I am celebrating by working a lot. ;)

Toronto Indie Art Market is now accepting vendor applications for our August 21st Summer Sunset Market, an evening market taking place at the Gladstone Hotel from 7pm - 11pm.
This event is in the Gladstone Ballroom only and will be free admission. Due to increased venue rental fees and free admission, tables are priced at $45/3ft spot or $90/6ft spot. A VERY few 4ft spaces are available for $60. While the official hours are 7 - 11pm, vendors will have the option of remaining set up until midnight if they choose to do so.
All vendors are welcome to submit an application for this event, however vendors who have been accepted for July will go to the bottom of the list for acceptance.
To submit an application, please visit the Toronto Indie Arts Market website.
Hey folks! Just a reminder that this call for vendors ends at the end of this month.
Those are good table prices but Thursday night from 7pm-11pm are weird hours. We’d probably do better at the December 13th Holiday Small Press & Literary Festival.

faithfire-writes: Do you have any suggestions for how to outline a novel? I feel like if I try to write it without outlining it first, I lose my motivation and everything sounds like crap.
Anonymous said to characterandwritinghelp: I’m trying to start writing a book and I have a vague idea of the plot but I can’t figure out how to arrange my thoughts in the right order so that the story flows better. Could you help me out?
Anonymous said to characterandwritinghelp: I’m personally very bad at organizing myself and my thoughts on paper. I usually lose my notes or forget they exist, and I was wondering if you had any resources online that I could use to keep track of my notes, short stories, etc. Thanks!
I AM ALL ABOUT OUTLINES, MY FRIENDS. Things to remember when you outline:
- It does not have to make sense. Your outline is for you and no one else. My outlines usually contain a mess of words thrown down in a rough approximation of sentences. The important thing is that you understand it.
- Use every tool at your disposal. Get highlighters and sticky notes to help you track story arcs. Use a procrastination sheet and a bookmark word to keep track of things that need extra work. Sketch things out on a timeline or a mind map. Nothing is stupid if it helps you get your story written.
- Do not be afraid to change things. The beauty of outlining is that you can take a look at your story as a whole. If you outline it all and take a step back to see something that looks like it no longer works, change it (but do not get rid of it, paste it on a clipboard somewhere and squirrel it away for later).

They Might Be Giants have a very special gift for you http://www.theymightbegiants.com/firstalbumlive/
We respectfully request that all you fine folks on tumblr reblog this free offering. We would sincerely appreciate you spreading the good word of this project.
They Might Be Giants’ first album, or “pink album,” was a turning point for both the band and for the burgeoning world of indie rock. Performing in downtown NYC clubs, the band had become a fixture on the East Village scene where performance art and music flowed together in a vivid late night club scene. In those earlier years, the band was making recordings for their Dial-A-Song service and their demos were actively passed around town. While the album’s release in late 1986 was met with raves from critics (including the rare “A” rating from the Village Voice’s Robert Christgau), with no major label push or immediate radio interest, it seemed destined to settle comfortably into the Miscellaneous T section within a number of months. All that would change quickly when the band collaborated with video director Adam Bernstein, on a series of original clips that would get serious play on MTV…
