OMIGOSH IT’S A CONTEST
Hey Chickadee is a small company run by two pals of mine — they make apparel and jewelry designed by a spread of super-talented artists (Jess Fink, Emmy Cicierega, and Miss Monster to name a few).
I’ve now done two designs for them (the matryoshka doll pendant/earring design in the banner, as well as a Musicians of Bremen tee design), and Andrew and Claire were nice enough to give me a $20 gift certificate to give away!
So here’s the rules: Reblog this post (‘liking’ doesn’t count, sorry) and you’ll be entered into the contest. Next Tuesday (August 2nd, a week from today) someone will be randomly chosen to win the gift certificate. I’ll make a crazy blingee with the winner’s username, because I guess that’s what I do now.
Thanks, guys! Have fun!

I am actually really concerned about the 11 women who are above signed…

Comic: Nothing is Forgotten - Part 1
This is some seriously good storytelling. It’s a lovely, touching comic that communicates without the use of any words whatsoever. Definitely worth your time.
Whew! Alright so I’ve got all my sketches done for my new comic. Thought I’d never finish. It’ll probably end up being about 10 parts when its done.
I’ll be uploading each part as soon as I finish the inking and watercolor wash.And here’s the Part 1:

I know a spell that would make you well
Write about love
It could be in any tense, but it must make sense
I know a trick, forget that you are sick
Write about love
It could be in any form, hand it to me in the morningDear Belle & Sebastian,
Where do I begin? When can I say I started to love you? It seems appropriate that your new album’s called Write About Love as I’m sat here trying to write as much to you.
Four years ago, I even bought my ticket for one of your ABC gigs before I even knew I’d been accepted to study abroad. I don’t know if it was blind faith or desperation that willed me to do this. Probably the latter.
My love for Glasgow is immeasurable. I have pretty fond memories of my life then, looking back. And it’s hard to separate your music from my experiences. Intertwined so much that, to me, you are Glasgow…and vice versa.
I sent out an innocent tweet this morning and was very grateful to be picked. I’ve never won anything in my life. And as much as I’d have liked to, this was just too much to keep to myself. I kind of want people to know how much you mean to me because I was bursting with happiness this morning. I immediately wanted to share the love.
So know that if I stray and announce that _____ is my favorite band, it’s probably just a phase. Because I can’t quit you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Sincerely,
Crystalp.s. Apologies all. This was mad corny, but it can’t be helped.

‘Write About Love’ is going to be the lead track from the album.
It will be initially available from our website from Tuesday (7th September) for a very limited time as a free download and also to stream. It will be available on iTunes in the USA only from the same date - but everywhere else has to wait until the official release date in the UK of 25th October. (via B&S website)
I also have to confess, that I too bought Belle & Sebastian tickets before I knew for sure I was coming to Glasgow…. Maybe it’s good luck!
