'Tis the season
Is it christmas time already? It seems like it was just Christmas a year ago.
Here in Spain, they don't usually celebrate Christmas the way the rest of the world does, but it's catching on faster with every year. Their Christmas holiday begins on Christmas Eve but extends to January 6th, the day of The Three Kings, which is when spanish kids get their presents. However, recently more and more spanish kids are demanding their presents on Christmas day. But parents and grand parents want to keep the Three Kings tradition going and this means kids are getting gifts twice only weeks apart.
I guess if I was a spanish kid, it would be my favorite holiday(s), but if I were a parent, I'd probably have to go against one tradition and choose one of the two holidays to spoil my kids. In any event, Christmas here now lasts for a few weeks and it's a good time to get great prices on the "after christmas" sales.
This will probably be my last entry for the year as things are getting busy for me. I had a tough summer/fall and things seem to be getting better with commissions and being able to work on my book, the fourth and final installment of the GIRL series. I know I've said it before, but I'm doing my best to finish that book while I struggle to pay my rent and bills. Trust me, I'll never give up on GIRL until it's finished. I'm only hoping everyone understands and can be patient a little longer.
Speaking of GIRL, the last volume has been serialised in NBM's Sizzle magazine over the last year and the final installment can be seen in the November issue. It's a pen and ink version but will be in full painted color when the book is published. For Sizzle, I chose to leave out the final two pages as sort of a cliff hanger. I wanted to save a nice surprise for the color book-I just hope it pays off.
NBM now has a new blog at http://nbmeurotica.blogspot.com/ It's a new site and in time will be a great place to catch up with the Eurotica authors.
And while you're at it, check out my new site at http://kevinjtaylor.com/ It's updated frequently and I have lots of art on sale. It's shaping up to be a great site as well. The above art is a commissioned piece, the type I've been doing lately, so interested parties drop me a line and maybe we can work something out.
That's all for now. I hope you all have a great holiday season and I'll see you on the other side of the new year.

New Website
Today being my birthday is a good time to announce a new website. It's not often that these things coincide with one another, but it just lined up right this year. The
web designers did a good job and I'll try to do as good a job providing good content for as long as it's running, which I'm expecting to be a long time.
Along with updates that will include pin-ups and commissions that I've done, I'll also be doing comics that will be exclusive to the members, unpublished and unseen pages that I may have had in my studio over the years, but most likely they'll be new comic pages that I've been working on.
There's also an area where you can catch up on the latest Ebay auctions, which include the pieces that didn't sell, (quite a bit) as well as other works for sale. Plus, most of my printed comics can be found here, mostly out of print books and stories. We're still working on ideas to add to the site, maybe a forum where you can talk about stuff, request commissions, and even a fan art section. (That should be fun.)
All in all, I'm proud to announce the grand opening of this site, and I hope you stop by, have a look and a good time.

Ebay madness
Doing this Ebay thing is very difficult.
In order to work on a 48 page graphic novel, you need to be financially secure for a while so you can dedicate all your time to the work-especially if you work on your own with no assistants and no one to take up the financial slack. This is why it's taking me so long to finish a book I should have finished years ago.
And this Ebay thing hasn't been much help, which means a longer wait to finish my GIRL saga. But, I'll keep trying. Someday...
