I'll be going dark art-wise for about a month, because I'm in the middle of production of the Extinct Animal deck. In addition to interfacing with the artists to make sure everyone has their cards done on time, I'm also writing up all the entries for the companion book. That's 54 different animal histories, including a bunch that we don't know a whole lot about. Trying to write up an interesting entry on an animal where basically nothing is known about its behavior or even what exactly it looked like is a bit of a challenge. On the other hand, I can tell you that the last California grizzly bear was killed in 1922, that Japan once had two native wolf subspecies (which are both extinct) and that the broad-billed parrot was a palm-nut specialist feeder.
I also recently finished a new Jack Salem novella called The Wrecks. I'm not 100% sure at this point what I'm going to do with it, since it's a lot darker and more adult than any of my previous short stories. I won't be making any decision on it until the extinct deck is done, in any case. Even if I decide not to publish it I'll still do a cover, since, why not? So that will probably be the next non-extinct deck bit of art that will turn up here.
Beyond that, my next couple of projects are two music videos I've been wanting to do. One will have my art illustrating it, the other I'm going to try to do an edited video from an existing film, if I can find a decent editing program that I can actually figure out how to use.
Convention scene for the rest of the year is very dismal. CaliFur, the only local convention, was just announced as cancelled. I was unable to get a table at BLFC. I might try for a table at Midwest Furfest, but considering how I can't seem to be able to get a table at any of these cons who the hell knows? Now I do have my table for AnthroCon, but the person I was supposed to be rooming with isn't going, so I need to try to find another roomie because I seriously don't want to pay for a whole room myself.
And that's all the news that's fit to print.

That by itSELF is incentive to have a copy of it.
Also good luck with your Art Deck. Can't wait for it to come out!.
Do you already have a cover design, for The Wrecks? I think, you should draw Mr. Salem, just as a couple eyes, staring on the other characters, from the night sky. You know, like he's monitoring them, all the time. What do you think?
