Snow Glass Apples Gets Second Printing
I’m happy to report that Snow, Glass, Apples by Neil Gaiman with art by me is back to press the first week on sale. I’m afraid I won’t be able to get any copies before DragonCon, but we’re pushing to get the second print in time for New York Comic Con! This doesn’t mean you can’t buy it now, it means there are no more in the Diamond warehouse to ship to comic shops. All other copies have been preordered for sale at major bookstores which will have it on August 20. So if you want to get the first print, please check at your local comic shop, or be…

Shaun Cassidy Tour Poster
As a kid, I had his poster on my wall, and dreamed of meeting him someday. I wrote and drew Hardy Boys fanfic. My first writing award was for one my of mysteries! And now, all these years later, I got to do the illustration and product design for Shaun Cassidy’s tour, which has been selling out each show! Amazing! You never know where a life in comics will take you! Special thanks to Allan Harvey who did the final logo designs, and to Rantz Hoseley who helped with the lettering and technical issues. Couldn’t have done it without you! So much fun to see my art on Shaun Cassidy…

Colleen Doran for Rescue Time
In this interview I talk about how I used the app RESCUE TIME to retrain myself to adapt to a new lifestyle with chronic illness and re-acclimate myself to full time work habits. This is not a paid endorsement. I am going on my 6th month of full-time work hours, and for the last 2 months, have been able to enjoy over 200 hours of monthly drawing time, for a full time work tally of over 250 hours per month. I also use the FREEDOM app to block websites and set up specific times for websurfing and social media. But RESCUE TIME coordinates and tracks all my productive hours, and…
