Kind of a late comment, here … A month late, even. But I wanted to let you know I was really happy to see you at ECCC. Surprised, even, that you recognized my work and stopped to say hello. It is a regret of mine that I didn't come find you, buy a book, get a sketch. ;_; I'm pretty sure ECCC is the only con at which our paths converge.
Oddly, I don't really buy that many webcomics (I SHOULD) but yours is one I really want to own in print. Since there are so many issues of it out now, do you have plans to make a graphic novel? Probably a frequently asked question there…

Nice question C! A graphic novel would be cool!
Oh and I like this panel a lot. It's very cool to get a bit of background on Siv and I like what Siv did at the crossroads. 🙂

I am planning to bound them up in a series of graphic novels later- books 1 to 5 etc….
glad you like the little background on siv.

it was really nice to see you as well. It was a very busy show for both us. There will be more shows to get a free sketch.
As for a graphic novel, it will be a series of graphic novels i just have to do the graphic books first

Dear Travis
i met you this last Saturday, April 2nd, at WonderCon. I had never heard of you before but you where doing free drawings and you drew a picture of my girlfriend as supergirl and me as superman. we talked for a bit and you were extremely nice and that stuck in my mind so i decided to check out your website…and it was one of the smartest things i think i've done i started reading your comic from the first post and i love it so much i cant stop reading it!!! as soon as i get paid i am ordering your comics!! you are an amazing artist and storyteller and i want to thank you and encourage you to keep on doing what you are doing and to always stay so friendly! its awesome to meet a writer and artist who is so nice and talented! thank you

i enjoyed doing the sketches and I remember you guys. One of the reasons I enjoy cons it allows me to meet all sorts of cool people.
I am glad you enjoyed the website and story as well. when you get the books i will make sure they are signed and drawn in.
Looking forward to seeing you guys again
Zachary » 5 Apr 2011 »

I want to recommend a comic, because I am sure you'll really appreciate both the art and the story–EXTREMELY different, but wonderful in a different way from your lovely work. http://www.freakangels.com/?p=23
BTW-started reading today and had to get all the way to here without going to bed!

A clue to Siv's past! (DUN DUN DUUUNNNN) And I really like seeing this side of him, too. I so hope he makes it in time!
On a sillier note, his cape flying out behind him looks a little bit Batman-ish to me….NANANANANANANANANA SIV-MAN!!!
Rocco » 4 Apr 2011 »
I see what you did there with the crossroads!
Celidah » 4 Apr 2011 »
Oooo, I hadn't noticed it until Rocco said something, but yeah, nice touch!
Trav the bean » 4 Apr 2011 »
thank you
Trav the bean » 4 Apr 2011 »
you do? 🙂
Puck » 5 Apr 2011 »
Yep… Shiv is at the crossroads, and needs to make a decision on where to go. The crossroads acts as a metaphor. Clever… very clever. ~ Puck
Trav the bean » 6 Apr 2011 »
thank you puck- glad you saw that
Glennnn » 4 Apr 2011 »
That works.
Trav the bean » 4 Apr 2011 »
🙂 yay

2 things first. I love how the cape flares in the last segment of this picture. That with the angle and you get almost a feeling of vertigo and great haste.
The mudtracks. They amazing in the last segement but maybe not blurry enough in the first. It might just be my perception.
Poor Siv. So much to do and so little time. And I have a little pit in my gut thinking about all the people in the Inn.
Trav the bean » 4 Apr 2011 »
🙂 Agreed about the mud- but i am not going to redo it now:)
as for siv….. yes so many choices…. the question is what would you have done? gone back or continued on?
@Rafnasil » 4 Apr 2011 »
Family, love and friends first. Always. If I can save the rest too, great but not my first priority.
Trav the bean » 5 Apr 2011 »
i agree..
I can't say enough good things about the atmospherics of your art. It's so immersive!
