In the can or in the crapper depending on how you feel about certain 'Professional Development' seminars.  In this issue Susan and I have found the most blatantly predatory one imaginable. We're having fun looking the look, talking the talk and branding our way into ArtWorld.  

So as the Epson 3800 spits out finished pages covered with Ultrachrome inks I can pause and reflect how we pull these comics together.  

Susan and I develop the plot line at the last minute because it depends on current events in our world...the Art World.  This month we noticed buzz about a couple of artists that people either love of hate, Jeff Koons and Matthew Barney.  

We bookmark interesting links and articles, we watch the Twitter feeds and go to openings.  We partake in the commiserating on Facebook.  Since the world of art is devoid of road signs to guide an artist you can feel the frustrations if your definition of success is recognition.   

That search for the answers to ArtWorld's mysteries forms the subplot as our characters weave their way through the arts and culture ecosystem.   

We should have this issue off to our regular subscribers early next week.  If you haven't pre-ordered you can do it now through Paypal.  We only make an edition of 150. Pigment ink on archival paper.  Thanks for everyone's past support! 

Susan and I are crafting issue #7 for shipment later this month.  The Residency we fell into last issue turns out to be not quit what we hoped for.  This teaser cover art will have to tide our fans over for now because we don't want to let too many cats out of the bag at once. Although you can see that there is still romance in the air between Woody and Susan as they take a tour of the Guggenheim.  You may find out how Woody got his nickname and even discover how I came by my beak.

We're also ramping up for the rescheduled Boston ComicCon.

Bigger and Badder, if that's possible.  Find us in artist alley this August 3rd and 4th as we spread the insanity that Kalicorp Art Mysteries finds infecting ArtWorld.
