Hey there! Thanks for the add! Is that your art in your avatar? It's beautiful. :) I'd wait for a comic from you for sure.

	[ Posted by petraleao on Jan 4th, 2007 4:57 PM ]... Don´t be, I´m just talented for things that don´t have any use to make money... ^^" At least here in Brazil... ^^" Anyway, thank you very much, you´re very kind! ^_^ About you, I´m just enchanted about your work!! It´s a DREAM, I tell you. CONGRATULATIONS! What´s your influences? Your style is so soft and at the same time, so strong! Wow... wish I could someday work with you... (if I just could pay you for it...) Congratulations again and nice to meet you!
	[ Posted by kate on Jan 6th, 2007 6:24 AM ]... ^__^ My influences are primarily European and Japanese illustrators/sequential artists, and friends of mine who do a lot of art too! Keep in touch, and best wishes! :)

Hi there! We’re starting up this year’s Small Press Idol…and wanted to invite you to the grand unveiling of this year’s Guidelines. I apologize for the all-in-one nature of this. At this time, individuals and teams have a little over a month to get things together and be ready to post their Round 1 entries. Round 1 will last till March 25th. It’s a solid window to get a project together and qualified for Round 2 past our judge panel. If you are interested in being a contestant, this is fair warning to get a project going!
If you are a news outlet or resource of any sort, we invite you to help spread the word about Small Press Idol, and get on the official Sponsors and Supporters list on the Idol Main Page. Traditionally, the page has gotten hundreds of thousands of hits a month for the 5 months the contest runs. All we ask in return for the link placement on our prominently placed list, is a link back in some way that is fairly prominent, and that you indeed cover the contest if you are a news site. You can contact us about that right from the guidelines page.
Just want to watch the show? That’s great! Now is time to sign up at the site so you can VOTE in the rounds to come, and post comments about your favorites! We’re expecting hundreds of contestants this year. It should be a lot of fun!

/Idol07/index.html

Hope this message reaches you in the spirit it was intended, you are welcome to ask questions, and otherwise make sure this is for real. This is the fourth year for the SPI. Last year’s contest pages are still online. So that’s what this is about, hope it interests you!

Do fewer sequentials! You'll become rich and famous before me and then I'll never get to pitch you my stuff!

[ Posted by illustrators_lounge on Dec 26th, 2006 9:28 PM ]...

Nice stuff, but I didn't see any sequential art in there! Maybe I missed a spot. Drop by the Lounge any time, we are four British guys based in London.

	[ Posted by kate on Dec 29th, 2006 5:38 AM ]... Hi there! There is a little bit, which was published in Best New Manga, which was out late 2006. The reason I don't have any recent comic art (the stuff that's online at the moment is from 2003/2004) is because I stopped drawing for a long time!
	[ Posted by illustrators_lounge on Dec 29th, 2006 8:58 AM ]... Well I hope you get back into it! When I took a few months off, I had to learn to draw all over again (it felt like that, anyway!)
	[ Posted by kate on Dec 30th, 2006 5:18 AM ]... Yeah! I'm much the same way ... I'm just kinda easing my way back into it, enjoyable-like :)

Hi Kate! Drop me an email when you get the chance. (My email is me@drewmelbourne.com.) I want to talk to you about one of the projects I'm currently pitching to Dark Horse.

Thank you thank you thank you for adding me to your list--and for the link to your exquisite art. Enjoy any and all relevant holidays and have a brain-pulverizingly excellent new year.

Hey, I really like your pencils. I was looking through your Deviant page, but only found one set of sequentials. Have you done any more?

[ Posted by kate on Dec 24th, 2006 3:14 AM ]... Hiya! Cheers :) Ah, I've done a fair bit in the past, but those are the only ones that have vague coherency!! I took over a year out of drawing, too, and those were the last things I did. I'm just starting up again, really. :)

Hi, thanks for the add. Getting a whole British sub-community thing going on with my 'friends' on here. I figure one day we'll have enough for a massive comic themed (and very bloke heavy) drinking binge. Go the Brits.
