Update From the Idol Scribbler

~ Hannah ~ Leave a comment

Hello to my lovely readers and irreverent spiritual questers. As you know, several weeks ago, I let you all know that I was having an operation and would be away from cartooning for a little while. The operation went well, but during the proceedings they picked up on a secondary problem, which requires further surgery. This is happening at the end of this month. Please don’t worry. It’s nothing too serious, but I will once again be laid up for a while, and unable to sit comfortably to draw.

In between the two operations, I have had so much to catch up on in my work, home and family life. Add to this needing to get things get done so I can recuperate afterwards without having to impose on my lovely spouse and family too much for assistance (other than keeping me amused). The upshot of this has been no time left for drawing or writing.

You will be glad to know that my sense of humor is still exhibiting vital signs. I am planning to take a replica canopic jar with me to surgery so they can plop the offending bit of me in there to take away with me. I will be taking a jackal-headed “Duamutef” canopic jar. Sort of like an Ancient Egyptian doggy-bottle. When I told my surgeon about this, they asked me if it was going to be for my pyramid. I replied that I only had a little mastaba, and they said that kind of thing wasn’t recommended for the next four weeks.

I promise that Idol Scribblings and Second Bestiary are not over yet. I am noting down lots of ideas (including some fabulous ideas from the hive mind) to work on when I am recovered. I will post on Twitter (@IdolScribblings) and Facebook to let you know how I am getting on. The cartoons will be back as soon as I am able. Until then, take care of yourselves and one another my wonderful readers, and remember to only use your powers for good.

Commissions and News Update

Hello Idollers everywhere! I hope you are all managing to stay safe, well and reasonably sane out there. My apologies for the unannounced break last weekend, but I was somewhat under the weather, but I am now on the mend. I have a couple of bits of news for you today.

Commissions

What do you get the person who has everything? Deification! Not since the Caesars apotheosised their uncles has it been this easy to confer godhood on your loved one. In other words, I am now offering commissions!

For a consideration, I can turn your friend, family member, colleague (or even your pet) into an Idol Scribblings deity. The picture can be themed around their hobbies, interests, pets, career, favourite food, or whatever you like!

To give you an idea of what you would be getting if you ordered a commission from me, here is an Idol Scribbling of my sainted (now deified) aunt that I produced for her as a Birthday present. In case you hadn’t guessed, she likes champagne and bunnies.

Moira – Goddess of Champagne and Bunny Rabbits

Prices will depend on whether you want black and white or colour, and how many things you want going on in the picture. So it is really hard to give you an idea here, but prices start at around £50 for a black and white character with a witty blurb (unframed). If you are interested, contact me via the contact page to discuss your loved ones ascension to the pantheon https://idolscribblings.blog/contact/

Schedule

I can’t believe it’s August already. This means it is more than time for me to start putting together my second book, Idol Scribblings 2 – The Revenge of the Gods (or something like that, working title). Which I am aming to have on sale at the end of November in time for your Christmas / Hanukkah / Yule / Dies Natalis Sol Invictus shopping. Also, as previously mentioned, I have come to realise that Idol Scribblings is a marathon, not a sprint, and as such I need to start factoring in some time off so I don’t burn out. With this in mind, until the release of the second book, I will be doing two weeks on, one week off. In other words, a deity week, a beast week and then a weekend working on preparing the book.

I will keep you posted about news of the upcoming book launch, including the date and how to pre-order to be assured of getting your copy. Loyal fans who pre-order before the cut off date will be able to get their names in the book!

Remember, the first collection of deities from 2018-19 are still available, but I now only have 5 copies left! So if you haven’t got one yet, don’t delay. They are only available new directly from me. You can snaffle your copy here https://idolscribblings.blog/the-book/
