Seaglassing, Journal Excerpt

So, the second half of the Seaglassing book contains a Seaglass Journal:  12 pages that explore small pieces of the world introduced in the comic during the first half of the book.  I don't plan on posting all of the pages on here, but here is one that I especially enjoy...the Mishepishu's life cycle!

Seaglassing Front Cover

Here's the cover for the second book in the Orbital / Primeval library, Seaglassing!  These will be available on Etsy towards the middle of the month.

Seaglassing Has Printed!

The Orbital / Primeval library grows!  Seaglassing has printed, and I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out!  The first 12 pages are the Seaglassing comic, and the last 12 pages are a "Seaglass Sketchbook," which is full of supplementary information about the world glimpsed in the comic.

...and away the seaglasser and little mishy go with a mind-blowing haul of sea glass.

Here it is!  The last page of Seaglassing!  I hope you enjoyed this small adventure.

Tttrrreeeaaasssuuurrreee!!!

For those of you not in the know, those are some of the rarest sea glass colors in the world.  A seaglasser would probably have a heart attack if they saw this much orange, red, purple, and pink sea glass.  These bits used to be things like artisan perfume bottles, antique tableware, and, at least in red's case, these colors of glass are also difficult to produce, involving a mixture of gold and glass.

SPLASH!

Seaglassing, Page 9

This is definitely my favorite Seaglassing page so far.  This is the page I've been most wanting to draw since I started this short comic.

I like to think of this as the mother Mishepishu examining the little Mishy's human friend.

Turns out the Mishepishu wasn't exactly a full grown sea monster...and it has a parent!  Will the parent also take a fancy to the seaglasser?

Hey, if you haven't checked it out yet, I've got Lightning Dog for sale on Etsy now!  http://www.etsy.com/shop/OrbitalPrimeval

Mishepishu's making the seaglasser's life eeeaaasssyyy...but, hey, where's it going off to?

Who is a collectors best friend?  Someone that helps them collect!

Another page of Seaglassing!  Looks like someone's making friends with the Mishepishu...

On a different note, I've got 50 copies of Lightning Dog coming in about a week and a half!  I'm planning on opening up a little online store, probably through Etsy, and selling them starting on June 24.  Pretty exciting!

WHOAH!  What is that?!  Bet you didn't expect to see a little Mishepishu hiding in the driftwood!

Like I mentioned at the beginning of this short tale, the story I'm telling in "Seaglassing" is inspired, in large part, by Lake Erie.  Lake Erie has a small, weird menagerie of cryptids associated with it, but Mishepishu, the mythical "underwater cat" of the Anishinabe culture, is probably the coolest.

Seems as if something's rustling over in the driftwood...

Looks like she found a piece of sea glass!  Few things are as relaxing as searching a beach for rare colors of seaglass.  Coast combing catharsis.  Unless other seaglassers are there too...THEN IT'S WAR.

While I work to get a bunch of Lightning Dog books produced, I have decided to begin posting the next story.  This one is going to be much shorter, though it is in the same style as Lightning Dog.  No words.  The one after this will likely have words, but I want to have one more go at purely pictorial storytelling.

This one is largely inspired by my wife's hobby of seaglassing and my old home next to Lake Erie.  Enjoy!
