Meanwhile, On The Internet…

Two big comics blogs have posted articles about me today!

The Comics Alliance has been profiling a number of quality erotic comics this month, and today the focus is on my own Small Favors.

Multiversity Comics‘ Matthew Meylikhov has posted an interview in which I discuss working in a studio, working in Portland, Oregon, working with my husband, digital publishing, the difference between working on independent comics versus doing work for hire for the major publishers, and the difference between working on erotic comics versus all-ages comics.

Meanwhile! I am still taking pre-orders for Emerald City con sketches! Pre-order for sketches with a single character are 8.5″x11″, $75 for color, $50 for B&W/gray. At the show, sketches will be 6″x9″, color not available. So there is a definite advantage to ordering in advance! Write to request a sketch at colleencoovermarket {at} gmail {dot} com, and we’ll arrange payment there. Fictional characters, only, please!

And! My short prose romance story ebook Home Port is now available on three on line bookstores for $.99: Smashwords, Amazon, and Barns & Noble. (Fair warning: Home Port includes boy kisses, man sex, F-words and true love.)

Wednesday Sindicate: OGLAF

This week’s theme at the SINDIECATE:

Trudy Cooper’s Oglaf!

Digital art in Manga Studio and Photoshop.

Oglaf by Trudy Cooper is close to my golden ideal in comics. Fun, sexy, clever, and lovely to look at. It’s sassy and sometimes silly, but always adult.

When I first started making my dirty comic Small Favors in the early 2000s, one comment I heard a lot was “You don’t usually think of a woman making porn comics”, and another was “Oh! This is actually a lot of fun! What a surprise!” A decade later, thanks to women like Trudy Cooper, Erika Moen, Jess Fink and many others, I never hear that first comment, and it’s not a surprise any more!

We live in a world where blood and horror are considered appropriate for general audiences, but flash a nipple, and you’d think from the cries of outrage that Satan had just been handed the keys to the puppy farm. Comics like Oglaf exist to turn that world on its head , and we’re all richer for it.

Friday Work In Progress: Final Cover Art & Story Excerpt

I’ve finished noodling with the cover art of my new unillustrated romance short story, Home Port!

I’ve completed the editing and formatting of the document, and barring technical difficulties, I’m ready to publish the ebook on Tuesday, February 14.

Meanwhile, I’ve added a new Romance Fiction page to my website, where you will find a link to an excerpt from the story!

Home Port is my first unillustrated creative writing in a very long time. I do not expect it to be my last. I don’t know how often I’ll be writing romance fiction, but I enjoyed the hell out of writing this story, and I hope you will enjoy reading it.

At the show, sketches will be 6″x9″, color not available. So there is a definite advantage to ordering in advance!

ALSO!

I’ve added a SHOP page to my site, to which I will be adding products on a regular basis. Right now, it has links to my new Cafe Press shop and my new Zazzle shop (the two shops function in much the same way, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so be sure to check ’em both before you think about buying!)
