I'll be there (finally, again, after many years) - come say hi if you see me running around. Hugs on request :)

We've gotten a Creality CR-10S printer in and set up. Nothing to show yet - I'm printing mods for the printer right now.

Well, we made it through Halloween - and I actually got a chance to go to a haunt this year. Usually I'm too busy.

Prepping the house for winter this week, but the queue is open for orders.

A 3D printer is ordered and should be here before Thanksgiving. Y'all should see some interesting new items as it gets mixed into the workflow :)

OK, wolf paws are about to be re-molded and offered for sale again. To get the show on the road, I'm offering four slots for pre-orders at $120 (two-tone $140) - $20 off the normal price.

Got a pair of paws up for sale in my Gallery. Details there, will remove this journal when they're sold.

Well, it took forever, but the workshop is finally open again. I still need to make new molds of the wolf and werewolf feet, and get photos of the new stuff, and a thousand and one other things, but finally back on track.

I'll be hanging out here occasionally, and checking fairly often. I tend to post stuff over on Weasyl first, just FYI.

PAWS FOR SALE - I'll also have a pair of wolf hand paws and the new beast hand paws for sale this weekend, at the old price of $95 per pair. Grey skin and black pads, will have pics when I pull 'em from the molds.

We made it to Pennsylvania - Clarion, in particular. Unloading truck now.

Old place sold, we should be in the new place on the 20th.

Well, the weeks have stretched longer and longer. We've been living out of boxes since mid-October; the shop is obviously shut down while this goes on.

The hangup has been the buyer of the old house here in California fumbling through their end of things - and they should have known better, this not being their first rodeo. Looks like we're in the home stretch now, as long as the seller in PA continues to have patience.

The wheels are turning - swiftly. The workshop should be moving to Pennsylvania in the coming weeks, and I'll keep y'all posted on progress.

The address will stay the same (www.runningwolfpack.com) but it may be up and down the next couple of days while we change hosts.

EDIT: and, the host change is now propagating through the Internet :)

Queue is open again; I'm breaking the year into two halves this time, so it's a shorter queue :)

ALSO - I was only out in suit Friday afternoon at FC this year. If anybody sees one of the handful of photos I know were taken, would you pass a link along? Thanks :)

Starting to show signs of con crud already - low fever, aches, and rough throat & eyes. Timing would suggest exposure Thursday night or Friday morning, so I guess something more catchy than normal is running around FC this year. Yes, I've had the annual flu shot.

EDIT: This was obviously a cold, not the flu, as I'm almost over it by midday Monday.

EDIT THE SECOND: and, late Monday night, it's back with a vengeance.

EDIT: We wound up leaving early - and this morning I'm already showing signs of con crud :/

I'm also posting this on the Furcon Forums, but thought I'd hit here as well. Last minute notice, but maybe someone needs crash space ...

We have two slots available Thurs-Mon nights (15-19) in a room at the Hilton - there's already two fursuiters (DarkFang and I) in the room. No drama, 420 or parties. On the downside, fans will be drying fursuits at night, I may snore, and DarkFang gets up at the crack of dawn. Room costs will be shared, in advance or day-by-day greatly preferred.

We'll be arriving 8-ish tonight, room will not be available before we get there.

Nudge me at orders[at]runningwolfpack.com (both DarkFang and I will get it), or message me as Ysengrin on Twitter. *DON'T* message either of us here, as we may not see it ...

Ah, well, will dig though my archives to find it.

No nude deer here, move along.

DarkFang did get to take part in the Pittsburgh First Night parade last night. I'll have to grill him about it when he gets back to California :)

Title says it all ... Enjoy the holidays as you will :)

This is the announcement of our queue re-opening - posted here to give y'all a heads up :) Those who contacted us *are* in the queue, but we're closing the queue to new orders again for a little while.

The "hard" opening will be announcing it on our website this coming Monday. Change of plans - the website will not "re-open" until later.

Those who have been asking via email please give me a nudge, and in general please email me at orders(at)runningwolfpack.com rather than here since FA will be down for maintenance this Friday.

It's that season again, or almost :)

I maintain a list of haunted attractions in the western PA / eastern OH area - sort of a "who's in the business." I've got the details over at this LiveJournal post, and if you know of a haunted house in that area or want to comment about one, I'd appreciate it.

Of course, if you want to talk haunts, here is fine, too :)

Anyone out there using Manga Studio 5? And comments or suggestions about using it with an Wacom Intuos tablet? Any watch-over-the-should-while-they-work video links would be appreciated, too. They're a great way to pick up on workflow tips.

Been dabbling with Krita, but always looking for other ways of getting concept art out of my head where other folks can see it and work with it.

We'll be closing orders early this year due to a couple of large projects. No new orders will be taken after June 20th, or whenever the slots fill, whichever comes first.

We're also offering a 15% discount if hands & feet are ordered as a set :)

Well, I'm still running a low fever, body is achy, making fountains of snot and my right Eustachian tube is swollen shut. Unfortunately the pressure inside that ear isn't anywhere close to the outside pressure, so I have an earache (with occasional shooting pains) and I'm effectively deaf in that ear.

Hopefully the swelling will go down soon. I'm finding that I need to sleep quite a bit, too.

I'm using my semi-down time to run claws for orders in the queue, since I can do that no matter how sick I am :)

And, I'm back from Harrisburg. Managed to bring back the Mongolian Death Flu, too.

Yes, I know I haven't been updating here in a while. I will get stuff put up for y'all to see soon, but first I'm going to be out of touch for a week on a business trip.

Looks like Universal will be doing a movie adaptation of McCammon's The Wolf's Hour. No release date at this point.
