Monday Artday MONTHLY Winner
for the month of
JULY
Josh (musarter) Billings
Josh (musarter) posted well and posted often in the month of July. He got lots of comments and was very supportive himself. Josh's artwork is top notch so he deserves this Monthly Challenge win! Congrats, Josh!
Remember, to win the Monthly Challenge, post often (not just the themes), post well, and be supportive. I'll announce the August winner some time next week.
The winner for the month of March is...
Kathleen Rietz!!!
Congrats,
Kate! Your enthusiastic participation, talent, ability to charm us all, and excellence in illustrating the challenges makes you a deserving winner. Thanks for being part of Monday Artday!
I disappeared this fall and even my semi-random posting became near extinct.
The reason for my "now you see me - now you don't" blogging? That guy you're looking at - MILO.
After two failed (for now) starts on second books - I began something in August that soon turned into something else; a novel with my cartoons that is a journey of exploration and humor that helped me unlock doors and draw new connections to my own life through the fictitious one of someone else, MILO.
I gave myself a goal, a deadline on the end of the year to finish this funny book - and though the going was rough due to some of the unexpected emotional road blocks that pop up from re-experiencing the memory of what was - I was on track to meet my deadline (shock!).
The sudden learning that my wonderful agent Jill Grinberg was having a second baby - soon - pushed me into an even higher gear so that she could give my own baby the attention I need before her own new one is due.
And yesterday - MILO was sent off for his first read (after my wife of course) and I am proud and fulfilled to have told his story, while being able to liberate my own.
The cartoons add humor and emotion and will be scattered throughout. I'm very excited about that part - and holding my breath, counting backwards from a million, doing laundry, cleaning my office - trying not to think about when I'll hear back from Jill.
More on MILO soon....

As I sit staring at my backyard where several leaves have the nerve to change colors already - I have good news.
My Disney Channel movie (no, not High School Musical: The Musical) is in pre-production, which for any non-film folks out there means the director and his minions of hard-working crew folk are on location in Utah gearing up for the actual shoot which will happen starting mid-October.
WOW! I'm very excited that this idea I had over 10 years ago is now (numerous rewrites later) actually getting made. Sadly, the title DADNAPPED has to change and I'm resigned to it, though have no good alternative title yet.
They might still need extras - so if you're in Utah, check it out!
On the writing front: I've just sent my amazing agent Jill Grinberg five chapters of something "new" and top secret! I value her input and hope to be able to tell everyone about it soon.
And - I'm gearing up for my big Texas trip, which is also scheduled for mid-October. I'll be visiting the CyFair school district for two solid weeks of author-silliness, and with the exception of missing my family, it promises to be a blast!
More on that later...

Congrats Josh!
Wow, thanks. I have been a little neglectful of MAD lately, so this is a pleasant surprise. Thank you everyone in the MAD community for your support and comments, they mean a lot. Post well and post often.
Cheers.
