Winter's Tales: Ninja Princess Zombie Rockstar

winterstales:

…

Winter declared that she and I should make a book together. That I would write and she would draw and it would be about NINJAS. And also zombies. And cheerleaders.

Now… I am a very busy lady right now.  I have 3 monthly ongoings, am still wrapping up a graphic novel, I’ve got a creator-owned book slated to start soon, plus a family and oh, we just moved and at some point, I have to get my clothes out of boxes.

But… come on.

“Yes!” I told Winter. “This is a thing we must do.”

Over the next couple of days, Winter’s daddy, Neil, and I conferred on how to make this happen in a way that wouldn’t add any additional stress to my schedule and we settled on this:

• I asked Winter to make me a list of 10 things she wants to draw.  I got this reply:

The main story idea from Winter is that of a Ninja Princess and her
Cheerleader Friends joining forces with vampire ninjas to fight zombie
ninjas from invading her kingdom.

The princess also has a superhero friend named Rock, a female rock
star with pink and blonde hair who uses guitars, drum kits, flutes,
clarinets and an amp in battle.

Her other favorite things to draw include:
Kittens especially ninja kittens
Puppies
Wolves
Robots
Fairies
Good & Evil witches

• Over the next 10 months as we lead up to Heroes Con, I will occasionally tweet a panel description with the hashtag #winterstale.  I will endeavor to work in Winter’s 10 favorite things to draw, and thus, 1 panel at a time, we will put together our Ninja Princess Zombie Rockstar mini-comic, which we will then run off punkzine style and sell at Heroes, with all proceeds going to Winter’s college fund.
• BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE.
• Winter and I would like to invite you to play along.
• If you or your children (Ages 1-100) would also like to draw our Winter’s Tale, all you need is a Twitter account. Respond to any #winterstale panel description with a twitpic or a link to your drawing and we’ll repost them to WintersTales.tumblr.com.
• If all goes well, you can make your own Ninja Princess Zombie Rockstar minicomics and we’ll swap at the end of this.

Okay, now go tell your friends and organize your art supplies. The first panel description goes up in a week.

I am a terrible draw-er. But ohmygodsquee this is the most adorable project.
