WonderCon 2010 Wrap-up

This year's Con was even more fantastic than last years. We met a ton of cool people and all the cosplayers pics have been posted so check them out and tag yourself.

KatGirl Studio Fan Mirzers, gifted us our very first piece of fan art! Check it out on the KatGirl Studio Facebook Fan Page! Got a piece of Fan Art for KatGirl Studio? The bring it to us at our next event or email us and we will feature it on the site and FB Fan Page!

The new Stalking the Elusive Quetzal matted prints and The Sea of Imagination Giclées we took to the event completely sold out. So if you missed your chance to get one at the Con you can now order them from our brand new shiny store!

The I Heart Sea Monsters shirts were hugely popular and we only have a few left from the first run so get yours today before they sell out. We also took pre-orders for the Nom Nom shirt that will be released at Fanime. If you didn't get a chance to pre-order yours at WonderCon you can here. Pre-orders will close Friday April 23, 2010. Pre-orders get to pick what color shirt they want and will receive theirs via mail before Fanime.

All orders made from our shiny new store will receive a free gift print with their order to celebrate our grand opening!

Thank you everyone who came by and supported our studios we greatly appreciate it! Our next event will be Free Comic Book Day on May 1st.

Busy Busy Summer

Sorry about the lack of updates lately. I’ve been busy working on a children’s book for Canadian publisher Three Bears and cannot post my work until its ready for publication. If you’d like to be notified when that book or any of my other books come out feel free to join our book mailing list by emailing us at Kat@katgirl.net . In the minimal free time I have I’ve been working on Stalking the Elusive Quetzal and my novel series COR (The Chronicles of Rayn). As well I’ve been preparing for the children’s conference and the Art and Wine festival I will be doing this year. This summer has shaped up to do an extremely busy one.

For your enjoyment here is a raft of sketched pages for Stalking the Elusive Quetzal.

Designs, Packets and SiliCon

My new packet lists are done so there are more packets to create and package in the near future. I’ve been working on designs for a client and wedding invites for a friend. As well SiliCon is this Friday so I have to get everything ready for that. All and all, its busy busy busy here at the studio. I’ve switched the artisan feature to a Monday, Wednesday Friday schedule for the time being though in the future we may go back to a 5 day a week schedule.
