A MESSAGE FROM Niccea:

I decided that for this year we will try out doing a comic jam for the For Your Consideration (FYC) pages.

"A comicjam is a creative process where one or more artists collaborates on drawing or painting one single comic. Often the process is that one ...

Lately I've been spending some time doing some light renovations on my house. I'm under some pressure with this stuff, and it's been very difficult, mentally.
