Greetings, Deleted Expletives!

We're gearing up for a weekend trip to Los Angeles on Friday. What timing, huh? Anyway, that and the usual pre-trip SNAFUs already have my schedule in a knot and still I've got to come up with something to post NEXT week, so I'll keep it short.

See you guys on the other side!

Greetings, Toxic Wastes!

Yes, I'm late this week. I was hoping for some inspiration to do a new shoot, but nothing was coming to me this week, and I'm distracted by a lot of other projects at the moment. So it was into the old inventory for some material I wasn't feeling especially enthusiastic about.

I know from experience that this means nothing. Sometimes the ones I hate really suck, but sometimes they're the ones you guys love the most. So we'll throw this against the wall and see what sticks.

First of all, do you or anyone you know own an Amazon Kindle (or other ebook reader?). We're building a e-reader mailing list for the upcoming launch of my wife's plumber-mystery series (the first book, "Sink Trap" will be out in October) and to promote this, she's giving away FREE, hand-knitted "Kindle Kozies." If you sign on early, the odds of winning are almost absurdly good, and you'll be eligible for future drawings as well. Pictures and sign-up info HERE. Tell your friends!

On more familiar matters, one of the distractions here is work on the "Minions at Work Ah-HA! Card Game." I was hoping to have a test version of this done by the gaming convention I'm going to Labor Day weekend, but that seems unlikely at this point. Just too darned much work designing all these cards. Here are some samples of what we have so far:

The first image is the card back. The others are various card fronts.

Pizza is a VERY important card in this game. It's almost the most powerful card in the deck, but even it must tremble before the power of -- PENGUIN!

Anyway, we'll get it done one of these days, and I think it will be a lot of fun. Eventually you'll be able to order your own copy, so stay tuned.

So, it's back to the old lair for me. Hopefully I'll have some new material shot by next week. See you then.

Greetings, Twitter Trainees!

We've been busy here at the lair. Spent some time yesterday painting some new set pieces that you'll doubtless see lots of in cartoons down the road. I just love my increasingly complex "build a lair kit." I love the smell of "Aluminum" spray paint in the morning. It smells like...well...not victory so much as a kind of nasty chemical smell. It's paint!

Hey, have you guys ever heard of the "Wilhelm Scream?" Maybe no, but you've certainly heard the Wilhelm Scream, more times than you can count. For over half-a-century it's been the universal sound effect when people fall to their doom. Like from, say, a catwalk. Read all about it here on Wikipedia.

And after you've done that, enjoy this little YouTube compilation so you'll understand just how common this little scream is:


Well, I know this will come as a terrible disappointment for you, but I'm not feeling terribly talkative today. It's rare, but it happens.

See you guys next week...

Greetings, Uninvited Visitors! (did you bring pizza?)

We're home safe and more-or-less sound from our California trip. So, a few pieces fell off the car along the road? What of if? As my son explained to me, "if it falls off the car and it still runs, you didn't need it anyway."

Work continues on the "Minions at Work" card game. I'm just STARTING the prep work for the card art, and there will be a LOT of that. I haven't done the math, but between 50-75 individual cards to design and lay out. But I've already done the most important part: photographing PIZZA!

Say, taking a break from our usual deal of trying to extort money from you, we're actually giving stuff away for a change. Got an Amazon Kindle reader or know somebody who does? Mrs. Minion Master, Chris, is knitting "Kindle Kozies," knitted bags and cases for Kindles.

Actually, she's just making prototypes right now, trying to figure out the best designs. The real deal will be given out in the fall as part of the launch of her new mystery series from Berkley Prime Crime (written under the pen-name, Christy Evans), but these prototypes have to do somewhere. So we're going to start a little contest to build our mailing list, and the earliest ones to sign on will have the most chances to win! Look for details in the next few days on our central web-site, YorkWriters.com.

See you guys next week!

File this one under "be careful what you wish for."

Should be back from California any time now, if we aren't already. In any case, don't expect us to wake up until NEXT week.
