hello, this is my comic strip that I work on for fun as a hobby and I thought I'd share it on this forum. It usually gets copied and stuck on the laundry room wall in our house for my kids to read, but now I've decided to give it a little more exposure online. any comments, good or bad, are welcome as its a work in progress and I'm hoping to improve on it.
thanks for viewing~

Hello all,
I’m back with another episode of “Firebird” and hoping for two things~ that you come back to read it again and that your gracious mod’s on the message board allow me to continue posting. It’s a lot of fun, but a lot of work too. My goal is to crank these out once a month and for the art to be good enough for you to understand what is going on. To be honest I may be a little bit late sometimes depending on work, family life, etc. Also I decided to take #6 in a different direction somewhat and let you meet the lady behind the mask- who she is and what she does for a living…hope you enjoy, I will be sure to answer any questions / comments from you.

And thanks for reading!

Thanks for coming back to check out another episode of Firebird, I really appreciate it. I've received a couple of inquiries as to when Linda Park will be back in her Firebird costume and my answer is very soon. I realize that because of its monthly format Firebird is a "slow burn" when it comes to story telling, but I plan to make the wait worth it…expect a battle royale very soon! Also in case anyone is wondering, my goal is to release this comic strip once per month around the last week sometime. Hope you all enjoy episode #7!

Welcome to Firebird #8, this was a tough one to get out and I'm running a little behind schedule on it. The first part of July I had a family emergency that completely took me out of the creative process (everything fine btw)~ didn't even get the script done until mid-July, then the last week of July there was a heat wave in Seattle that made it near impossible to work in my studio (which is upstairs in the house with no AC) the last week of July. So it was an interesting experience cranking this one out and good practice for me to keep 'em coming even during busy times. Okay, next episode we meet the 'Chinese-Ghost Lady' and then in #10 Linda is back in the Firebird costume! thanks for hanging in there, and hope you enjoy~

Firebird #9 is here, and this is the Chinese-Television Ghost, but there’s something more to her than meets the eye as you will all see soon enough.
In #10 Linda is back in the Firebird costume! Thanks for continuing to read, and hope you enjoy this months episode~

Hello there and welcome back to Firebird. Finally! Thanks again for continuing to read and take an interest in my comic strip- I’m hoping to get F.B. out way more this year and am looking forward to starting a whole new story line for our heroine after wrapping up the Chinese Ghost~ all will be explained very soon.
