Chris Oatley’s ArtCast has been on a short hiatus so I can focus on prepping my new Web Comic for launch.

The show will return at the beginning of February with an exciting, new contest with awesome prizes, a series of inspiring interviews and a vision for the show that will synthesize the explorations of past episodes and carry the show into it’s next stage of evolution.

This is a very exciting time.

You can listen to me share in greater detail about the hiatus in Episode 52.

The web comic title will be announced around the same time of the return of the show and I’m hoping to launch the comic before April 2011.

Last week, The Comic Creators Alliance released an epic, collaborative desktop/ wallpaper image featuring a female character from each comic creator who joined up.

It’s so inspiring to see some of the greatest living comic artists united with total noobs like me to support a cause that is very close to my heart… …the abolition of slavery.

Head to the CCA website and learn more about how you can help to end human trafficking.  A small donation is all that stands between you and that epic desktop. …and even the smallest donation will help.

I picked a character from my new web comic project.  …and this is the first time anyone has seen her.

Who will be the first to guess what kind of creature she is?
