Bardsworth

A long time reader of mine – I’d venture to guess that he’s probably one of the first to read and stick with Bardsworth – has put an enormous amount of effort into something pretty incredible. VozDeSuenos (I won’t use his real name unless he says it’s all right) has a regular My Little Pony themed podcast on YouTube called “Pastel Pony Podcast”. He recently did me a solid by giving my ponyfic a nice review and a link on his show, and I wanted to return the favor.

The project in question is called An Equestrian Invasion. It’s based on the infamous 1938 War of the Worlds radio broadcast starring Orson Wells (if you don’t know about the broadcast, War of the Worlds, or Orson Wells, get your butt over to Wikipedia), and has been “ponified”. It’s almost an hour long, but it’s entertaining. Check it out if you’re so inclined, and also check out the rest of his podcasts.

Hey folks.  Just wanted to say that there won’t be an update this week and I’m very sorry about that.  Katie and I have been working our butts off trying to prepare ourselves for the Maryland Faerie Festival, where we’ll be debuting a lot of new stuff under our Fairy Magik line.  Doing all of that while dealing with a one-year-old who doesn’t sleep has pretty much drained us of being able to do anything else, hence no comic update.  There WILL be one next week, as well as the opening of preorders for two new products, so stay tuned.

In the meantime – and I always hate mentioning this when there’s a missed update – there is a new donator wallpaper available, as seen below:

I haven’t had time to set up the link in the PayPal redirect, so for a limited time if you donate, you’ll get the URL to the April wallpaper and I’ll be sending you an email with the May wallpaper.  As always, donations are greatly appreciated and I’m always touched when people do it.

See you next week!

Some of you (most of you, I hope) know that Katie and I run a husband/wife art studio called Fairy Magik.  It’s been through a number of changes, including a recent website redesign, and now we are beginning to expand our offerings beyond fine art.

Katie has a masters degree in costume design and has wanted to put it to good use for a while.  So we are now opening ourselves up to costume commissions.  This includes cosplay costumes for conventions, Halloween costumes, or playtime costumes for children.  If you’re interested, please take a look.

Remember, con season is right around the corner!
