Careful with that rifle, Timmy!
These two pages by Natalie Nourigat from A Boy and a Girl have never been offered for sale. They were shown as part of a Portland-themed gallery exhibition at Orbital in the UK, and so didn't go up in Natalie's store with the other art.
As Natalie's year-long trip to France winds down, it seemed a good time to maybe raise a little cash. Both pages are now listed on eBay.
Please consider bidding. Also, you can buy other pages over at Confessions123.com, along with copies of the book, both in hard and softcover editions.
Not convinced to even read the book? Check out this lovely review that No Flying, No Tights posted today.
As far as the artwork goes, Natalie Nourigat has quickly become one of my favorite artists since I discovered her autobiographical comic, Between the Gears. Her artwork is clean; easily capturing the bare essence of the characters with a few lines and bringing them to life almost effortlessly. In A Boy and a Girl, she has used a primary color palette of blue mixed with white and black, and that simple palette suits its context; we don’t need artwork that is awash in multiple colors to drown out the underlying questions of the narrative. Nourigat creates characters that move with ease on the page and work well within the story.
Current Soundtrack: The Who, "Let's See Action"
Stan Sakai is the creator of Usagi Yojimbo, which is also the first comic book I ever edited all by myself. His wife Sharon has been battling cancer for many years now. The CAPS Comic Art Professional Society has been running an auction to raise money to help them with medical bills.
For instance, you can bid on this wonderful color drawing by Megan Levens, just one of many great items for sale, some Usagi Yojimbo themed, some not. Go look!

You only live once, so go for it!

This sale will be in effect until 11:59 pm on Sunday, March 30.
All books come signed!

It's hard to believe that my little sister from another mister is already 26 years old, but as of this moment, yes, she is.
To celebrate, all art in the Natalie Nourigat art store is 26% off. That's right, 1% for each year she's been alive. And the deal is going to be good until the end of the day on December 26. How appropriate is that?!
All you have to do take advantage of this opportunity is enter the code Sweet26 when you checkout. The discount will be applied before you confirm you order.
As you'll see, all available art from A Boy and a Girl has been uploaded to the site, so now is the time to grab it. That includes the cover and process material in the first gallery, and the back half of the book in the second gallery.
But you can also pick from any category.
My Boyfriend's a Monster: Wrapped Up in You
You can jump between any of the above galleries by using the dropdown menu that appears when you click on Natalie's name in the site's menu bar.
An additional bonus to buying the art is this will help Natalie continue to fund her year-long residency in France!
Pages from the other books not yet in the gallery may also be available. E-mail me at golightly [a] gmail dot com and I will quote you a price for any page you are looking for, plus the discount.
Current Soundtrack: Busta Rhymes & Q-Tip, The Abstract & the Dragon
Oni Press has made limited edition hardback versions of A Boy and a Girl to sell at conventions and via their web portals.
I have a small amount myself, and so have added a quantity to my own store, which you can buy and have signed by me.
The contents are the same in terms of interior pages, but you get a sturdier version with a nice metallic ink on the cover.
You can, of course, also order the regular version, as well as a selection of my other publications, in the store. I will be adding Natalie's art from the book soon. E-mail ahead if there are pages you want before it all goes up. golightly [a] gmail dot com
Current Soundtrack: At Berkeley, dir. Frederick Wiseman
Coupon ends at midnight.
I've just added a couple of new items to the site's store:
* Spell Checkers 1-3 sale bundle
* Original art for the first ten pages of A Boy and a Girl
All books come signed.
A Boy and a Girl will be mailed two days before release in order to get it to you as close to the on-sale date as possible. (Currently December 12, 2013.)
Order for Christmas, I can ship to any location you need.
Current Soundtrack: M.I.A., Matangi
There have been some updates to my shop on this site.
I've added a couple of limited items:
* one complete set of the original Love the Way You Love issues
* A bundle with my second The Everlasting and the last copies of my self-published short story "Chevelu."
I only just got a box of The Everlasting back in stock, and so it seemed a good way to start off. They will be in the store indefinitely on their own, but this is the last chance to get "Chevelu" in this format.

I also sold most of my It Girl and the Atomic #1s at Rose City Comic Con, so each of the bundles with the first five issues is now limited to one more sale. That's all I have left!
I expect my copies of the second It Girl trade paperback any day now, and as soon as they are here, I will have them up on the site. If I can get them up in the next couple of days, I'll take preorders to mail for arrival on release day, next Wednesday, October 2nd.
Current Soundtrack: Chvrches, The Bones of What You Believe
