Pictures of You Book Three, Bishop Street

The third book in the Pictures of You series is now live to the internet! This book, Bishop Street, will be the longest in the series, coming in at around 300 pages, the length of the first two books combined, and will take roughly two years to complete. Due to its length, Bishop Street will be broken down into four parts, the first being Summer. Any guesses on what the other three will be called?

The second announcement is that Pictures of You is now in colour! That’s right, vivid technicolor brought to you by fancy computerized gadgetry! In addition to the new pages being produced in colour, I’ve been going back through the archive and colouring the first two books as well, posting them a chapter at a time. It’s going to be quite a task, but as of this writing, I’m a little more than halfway through Book One so we’re hoping it’ll be done quickly.

Which brings us to the third bit of news.  With the increased workload the colouring adds, we’ve had to ease up on the update schedule…but just a little.Instead of posting new pages every two days, we’re going to a Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule. That means just one less page per two-week cycle, or 26 fewer a year. Nothing drastic, you can untie the noose from the rafters.

If you’re not already a reader, check out Pictures of You and meet the best friends you’ll ever lose.

Just letting you all know that a number of squids are moving to new houses or apartments. I have a giant pile of articles planned, and will have most of them ready to go by the time I have internet again (May 11th, ouch!).

I’ve also retired from my post as a Smackjeeves Administrator so I can devote the amount of time and attention to this place that it requires, as well as the time and dedication that our current project, METAL, needs to get off the ground.

Being serious about a webcomic requires a lot of attention, so I’ll be maing the necessary life changes over the next week. Hope to see you seeing us grow!
