Reflections on Homeschooling
We are homeschoolers. Rhea homeschooled from fifth grade through high school graduation. Corin, the youngest of the Mystic Sheep and creator of the Imps comic, has only been homeschooled. He turns 14 next week. This poem is about the rhythm of our weeks together.

Review of “Revenge of the Nature Imps”
We received a very nice review of “Revenge of the Nature Imps” over at Rick S.’s comic review blog. We met Rick at Arisia this weekend. He is part of Dandelion Studios. I recommend checking out their comics, especially ‘Minions for Hire.’
It seems he also reviewed the first issue of Urban Fey – released way back in 2006. The first issue covered the material in chapter 1 of Volume 1. Fantastic.
UnConventional Update
The anthology is now available and has been receiving some very fine reviews, such as this one . We are launching the book this weekend at Arisia with readings, signings, and a party. You can buy a copy through major book outlets or get a signed copy from me through the Mystic Sheep Studios store.
Arisia 2012
Rhea and I are preparing to herd the Mystic Sheep pack over to Arisia next week. We’ve got books, schedules for panels, readings, signings, and a launch party. We’ve got clothes to wear (very important). If you are going to be in the Boston area and especially if you are going to be at Arisia, please find us! Stop by and say hello. We’ll have a table in the dealer’s room peddling our books and related merchandise when we aren’t attending some of the fabulous panels (there are far too many to choose from), sitting on panels, doing readings, attending parties… wait. I already mentioned some of this. We are excited about going to Arisia. Can you tell?
Possible Origins of the Ewing name
A bit of background. Urban Fey is drawing to a close. I’ve finished the script and Rhea is drawing the last 50 or so pages now. We plan to put it out in book form in Spring of 2012. It’s the end of a seven year project and it’s been wonderful. So while Rhea finishes up that one, I’ve started the research and world-building for the next project. It will be a series of dark steampunk adventures entitled “Professor Ceausescu’s Fantastical Medicine Show”. So we’ve been looking at the circuses, medicine shows, and traveling side-shows of the late 19th century for reference. During this research, Rhea came across a possible origin for the Ewing family name.
UnConventional Available for Pre-Order
My short story, M.U.S.E., will appear in the UnConventional Anthology, due out in January, 2012. Pre-order information is available here.

Finding our art
We’re still working on the website here – watch out for that loose word, don’t trip! Oh, and there’s a puddle of ink to your left. No, don’t step to the right. There’s an open paint bucket. Just stand right there. Good.
In the meantime, you can find our art at the following locations :
Rhea’s stuff is up over at RheaEwing.com.
Kim’s stuff is up over at Kimberley’s gallery.
And check back here frequently. We have great things planned!
