Hi Xyliacs!

First off, I want to thank everyone for your understanding on my ‘holiday’ week off from Xyliatales. I had a really really great birthday yesterday. It turned out better than I could have hoped for. I got some wonderful greetings from friends old and new, some really beautiful gifts (including a birthday poem from Kez!), had a nice afternoon with my parents and spent an evening eating pizza with a bunch of goofy teenagers! Doesn’t get any better than that. Thank you, everyone!

And I am most happy to present not one but TWO guest art images from two of my very good comics friends from Tall Tales Features.

Irma Eriksson is a Jersey gal who lives in Sweden! She has a delightful slice of life webcomic about a spunky redhead called Imy that you should go see now! Her guest art features Imy joining the Azloeans and trying to get a hold of a certain Corgi! To see the full size guest art, you can go here.

Chip Skelton is a funny, great guy, and is the creator of a moody, brilliant webcomic, Broken that you should also go see now! His guest art features his character Steely Dan making some rather shady friends with a certain naughty fae and her monkey. To see the full size guest art, you can go here.

Thank you so much, you two!! These are AMAZING! ^_^

Don’t forget the VOX CONTEST! Details are below here in the blog- go to the forum to submit your entry! We have some INCREDIBLE entries so far- please go have a listen if you’re too shy to enter yourself! Entries Thread
