Hey guys! If you don’t live in Austin and can’t make to Paper Party to buy my art, I just set up an Etsy shop with my new prints for sale! We’re moving in 13 days, so now would be a great time to buy! Check them out at my Etsy shop!

I have an amazing friend named Glade.

She is the definition of a rad lady. In addition to her badass handmade cards (you can see them here), she recently opened up an AMAZING shop within Domy Books in Austin called Paper Party.

Paper Party sells the cutest gifts, stationary, and party supplies in Austin. You need to check out her store if you haven’t been!

My show “Nature Club” is hanging there from now until October 18th! It’s my first solo show, and I was so happy to paint my heart out this past few months. You can see all my paintings and a price list here. Most of these paintings are much bigger than anything i’ve done before, so there’s lots of little details that I had fun with! Check them out!

The opening for the show was last weekend. I had such a great time…here are some pics I snapped!

Yes, it’s true. We’re gettin’ out of Austin, and our next home will be in LA. We’re actually moving in 2 weeks, which is pretty stressful, but I think it’ll be great.

That said, anyone with any LA advice? Places to live, work, eat, shop? I’ll be looking for a waitressing job to start with, but my dream day job is to work on storyboarding for an animated show…so if anyone knows of any leads, hit me up: melindatracyboyce@gmail.com!

Hey Everyone!
Soooo…as some of you may have noticed, it’s been forever since I posted here. I have been busy, busy, busy the last couple of months, and unfortunately my diary comics have been something that I haven’t had time for recently.

I will start posting them again soon, I promise!

For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been busy at work putting out my first full color, subscription based quarterly comic “The Melinderly”!

It was funded through Kickstarter, and it is my most rewarding project to date! Most of the comics are autobiographical, but i’m branching into some fiction too…and none of them will be posted online, so your only opportunity to see these will be to buy a subscription of “The Melinderly”. A subscription costs only $40 for 4 issues (a full year) of “The Melinderly”, which you can buy HERE! I think those of you who enjoy seeing my comics on this site will love being able to actually hold them in your hands even more!

Here are a couple preview pages (pardon the crappy pics):

I want one! p.s. I hate drawing cars.

Hey again,
Sooooo…

I am super notorious for not being good about communication. I hardly answer my phone, I don’t text much, and i’m pretty bad about replying to emails promptly. My friends and family find it completely annoying, which it is. This is something I am trying to work on, all around.

So on this note, I want to apologize to everyone and anyone who has ever emailed me/commented with a question/whatever else that I didn’t reply to. It is inexcusable, I know, and I really apologize.

If you HAVE asked a question, or emailed me without a response, know that as of right now, I will be responding to any and all emails/comments that elicit response, so if you want to shoot it over to me again, I will give it the attention it deserves.

That’s all…Thanks everyone for being so supportive, and again, i’m sorry to have been silent for so long.
-Melinda
