Danyael – Flight by Nick Bergeron Once you’re in over your head, there’s little you can do by flail away and try to swim. Of course, that’s only if you realize that you can’t touch the bottom of the pool anymore. I’m flailing away for all I’m worth, but I still get the feeling I’m drowning. And the angel? Rather than try to swim, it’s taking a different approach. Flight.

Have you ever looked over the edge and seen something looking back at you?

We are back from an incredible experience in China and we’re very happy to report that the trip and the adoption went smoothly.

While we adjust to this whole parenting thing, we’ll also be getting back on schedule with Dandelion Studios website updates and comic book previews.

Kaeli & Rebecca: Exiles in Kess will resume here next week on a once-per-week schedule, and will continue until we have reprinted the full run of that original story.

We also look forward to showing off more of the wonderful art that is being produced by Katrina Joyner, Tara Veidt, Missy Pena, and Gynn Stella for our upcoming print comic projects. Preview will resume next week.

In the meantime, look for small updates to the website as we put more of our backstock of products up for sale in our online store and continue to expand our links and our creator bios page.

So before we get back to work, here are the proud parents, Rick Silva & Gynn Stella, with the newest member of the Dandelion Studios team!
