back to school

I've finally started updating Astronaut Elementary again!
The latest pages act as an extended opening sequence, set at the beginning of the story. Originally, Hakata was introduced in a simple 2-page comic, but I've gone back and expanded it to 15 pages to better establish the school environment. These new pages also have graytones to add to the overall space-mood.

If you or anyone you know works for a hospital, library, school, non-profit that would like a package of FREE Nickelodeon Magazines please send me an email at david(dot)roman(at)mtv.com
Nickelodeon Magazine began a really great tradition of sending our old issues of Nick Mag to some women's shelters and underpriveleged schools on the Southside of the city. We have plenty of extra magazines that could and should be enjoyed by kids who would otherwise not have access to reading materials like these.
Thank you so much for your help.
