Good news for you Sheldon Original Art collectors: The cover art for “Still Got It” is up for grabs!

This piece is drawn in lightfast, archival inks on acid-free, vellum Bristol stock. The cardstock measures 11 x 14 inches, while the drawn image measures 10 x 12 inches. (Also: Two additional, early-concept sketches of the cover will be included, just for fun.)

The piece will be shipped *FREE*, to anywhere in the U.S.A., and the bidding starts at just one penny! So head on over and throw your name into the hat!

Sheldonista David M. sent in this shot, and I had to share it with you. It’s perfect for playing the ages-old game, “Spot the Arthur in Old, Poured Asphalt”.

It’s pretty good, isn’t it? Thanks, David!

Oh! Also! For those curious: I did a rough estimate of how many pages it’ll take me to finish the first “part” of the story (essentially, the first book) — and it looks like roughly 150 to 200 pages. So that means we’ll be wrapping up the first book around January 2013.

Lordy Lord!

A good while back, Ohio State asked me to donate a few pieces of Sheldon original art to their (fantastic) permanent collection at the Cartoon Library & Museum.

If you remember, I then asked you guys which cartoons you’d suggest I send: The strips that would best encapsulate the look/feel/theme(s) of the strip.

Well, here are the four I netted out with. I think they’re a pretty good representation of “Sheldon” in four strips! So thank you guys for your input — it was really, really helpful!

1, 2, 3, and 4

Do you guys remember Arthur’s idea for Mega Butter the other day?

Well, Sheldonista and fellow foodie Ruth B. was inspired, and put together her own Mega Butter recipe! Check it out over here!

And remember: If you make it at home, make sure you tell Ruth how awesome she is. 🙂

Over in the Sheldon forums, Stickfodder just posted up some first-pass CAD images of the scout ship “Machito” from Drive. It’s still a work in progress, but I thought this was AWESOME to see…and had to share it with you guys.

This is awesome, Stickfodder! And, it should probably go without saying, but I totally encourage this, if more folks want to take a crack at it. It’s really fun to see!

Sheldonista Rachel sent in this pic of her Christmas haul: The first three Sheldon books and her Lucky Duck shirt!

Daaaang, Rachel — someone set you up nicely!
