A news update from the world of Zach! This post will be a bit scattered, so bear with me. I’ll be at San Diego Comic Con this week, and I’m super thrilled about it. I will try to document my thoughts and impressions to share here with anyone who’s interested in reading.


I did the first theatrical thing I’ve done in ages last night, which was write a series of monologues for my fiance. I thought I’d share one of my more favorite ones here, and see what you all thought of it:


Real Estate Queen


I’ve, um, done a little hunting on my own, and I don’t want to tell you your business because you clearly know it, and why else would I be coming to you? But I really think this should be pretty easy to find. I’ve seen a bunch of listings that would be PERFECT, I know it, and I’m not asking for that much. Some amenities, sure, but not the moon, y’know? In my dream, it’s something small, cozy. Enough square footage for me and a roommate, who I’ll be renting to. A vintage two bedroom in a nice neighborhood. Not ritzy, but just nice, y’know? Somewhere with a grocery store and a neighborhood bar, kids playing. Trees on the street, a little sunshine in the place at just the right time of day. And I don’t mind a fixer-upper, either. I’m pretty handy, I can do the work. Oh, gosh, if I could have just one special thing about the place it’d be a balcony. Somewhere to stand with the breeze and watch the street. Maybe grow a few vegetables. (sighs) And exposed brick. It’s just so… classy, y’know? And it’s GOT to have a killer kitchen and dining area, because I host A LOT of parties. I’m very social. Everything in this town has bay windows, so I’m sure I don’t even need to mention those, but I will just in case. I’d really love a high ceiling because I’ve got very particular tastes in lighting fixtures, and of course I can change those out (snaps) SO easy. And, are you listening to me, EXPOSED BRICK. Yeah, it has to have exposed brick, and I don’t care what that does to the price. I’ll just get another roommate if I have to, I know plenty of people who never want to leave my parties, and I can just tell one or two of them they don’t have to! Gee, do you think I could afford a three bedroom? Or a small single family home? Something with just a bit of yard I can tend? Oh, a YARD. This is the most important thing anyone has ever said to you, real estate man, so LISTEN UP. I don’t care if it’s a derelict squatter’s tenement growing like a plantar’s wart on the dirt crusted HEEL of this city, if it has yard and it’s in my price range, I want it. I will have it. YOU will find it for me and I will BUY it, as long as it has a BALCONY. I’m a simple lady, and I know what I want, so what you need to tell me is do you think you’re the agent for me? [beat.] Are you choking?





In comics news, I’ve finally started doing thumbnails for The Traveler’s Tale, that beast of a 5 graphic novel series that is my true artistic passion and goal in life. It feels REALLY good. I’ll be sharing parts of my outline, thumnails, and art here on this blog. To kick things off, though, I’ll start with some character designs I’ve done for the project:







Again, I’d love to hear your thoughts on these. Anyway, lastly, but certainly not least, there’s been a challenge to create mini comics on one sheet of paper going on over at the Art & Story Supreme forums. There’s been two rounds so far, and I’ve produced two comics! You can download them, print them out, fold them up, and have your very own Zach Bosteel comic. Which I have done several times, because it makes me feel super neat. Check ‘em out:
