Welcome to Bird And Moon dot com. I'm Rosemary Mosco, and this is the home of my science and nature comics, the 55 Word Stories online literary journal, and several other projects. Please enjoy and use this email address to send me any feedback or questions about projects or collaboration. June 13, 2009      55 Words: Guest Stories has ended - for more, see here. We thank everyone so much for contributing over the years. There is also a very small, very silly comic about Snapping Turtles over here, and Palaeobets are still on sale. I hope you had a nice spring! March 19, 2009      There is a new comic up. It's called Newt Date, and it's not even about birds! Don't forget to check out prints of the Palaeobet over at the TopatoCo store. March 13, 2009      You can now buy prints of the Palaeobet over at the wonderful webcomics store TopatoCo. Hooray! January 1, 2009      School is taking up most of my time, so there won't be new comics for a while. But there are always new guest stories at 55 Words!. September 1, 2008      I've moved and gone back to school, so life is crazy right now. I'm learning all about plants, so there will be some bad botany jokes like this one here. July 15, 2008      There's a new story at 55 Words and a new comic about mockingbirds in the comics section. Mockingbirds really do this. Argh. June 27, 2008      There is a new story up at 55 Words. Please join in and contribute! Also, I finished my videogame for the Artsy Games Incubator, a project that tries to get artsy people making games and generally building an appreciation for the people who make them professionally. You can play my Albatross-themed game here. I'm an amateur, so it's a bit glitchy. (Solutions to the game's problems mean I'll draw you a nice bird!) June 12, 2008      There's a new drawing called Parts of the Bird in the comics section. It's highly inaccurate. free lil wayne ringtonessouth park ringtonesverizon wireless ringtones May 29, 2008      I'll be heading down to the MoCCA Art fest in New York City from June 7-8. I'll have a ton of prints, books and other stuff for sale, along with a lot of talented friends from web and print comics. I'd love to see you! April 27, 2008      We've finally recovered from getting hacked last week by random spammers, and 55 Words is back in order. Please submit your stories, and thanks so much for your patience. If you see anything out of the ordinary (like long lists of mp3 links that seem suspiciously not bird-themed!), please email me. April 26, 2008      I have another comic in the Globe TO section of the newspaper The Globe and Mail. This one's about Cardinals! March 17, 2008      Things have been a bit crazy over here, especially at 55 Words, because (as I mentioned below) the editor had to unexpectedly quit. Don't worry, I have a great new editor who's starting soon and will go through the backlog of all your great stories. Very sorry for the delay.      I've been taking part in Jim Munroe's Artsy Games Incubator, which aims to get artists making games using pre-existing software. You can read about our adventures on the blog. Birds for Bulbs is on a bit of a hiatus; more news coming soon. For now, you can check out some new Wild Toronto strips. Thanks for reading! Feb. 14, 2008      Been a long time since an update! There's lots of new stuff. I did the CD art for A.M.'s new CD. He's a great Toronto electronic artist. There's a new 55 word story. The editor for the journal at 55 words has had some stuff come up and can't do it any more, so many apologies for the hiatus that will ensue while I find a new person. There have been a few new Torontoist strips, too. Jan. 8, 2008      Happy new year! There's a new poster pack for sale here. I've also started a new biweekly comic about urban wildlife at the blog Torontoist. You can see the strips here. Dec. 10, 2007      A new animal comic can be found here. The animals are the violet-ear hummingbird, the corn snake, the green anole and the io moth. Nov. 30, 2007      There's a new story at 55 Words. Also, a t-shirt based on Bird and Moon is in the works, probably for January. Last but not least, thanks to everyone who came to visit me at Expozine in Montreal! I had an awesome time. Nov. 14, 2007      People have been asking about t-shirts. I'd love to make some, but I need to know which images you'd like to see on a shirt! Email me at rmosco (at) gmail (period) com and let me know. There's also a new story at 55 Words. I hope you like it!      The "Birds are Gross" comic was featured on Rocketboom. Thanks, guys! Nov. 6, 2007      There is new fan stuff in the Fan Section. Thanks for your patience in waiting for a birdsforbulbs update... I now have enough for a new page! Nov. 3, 2007      There is a new story over at 55 Words. Thanks to everyone who dropped by to say hello at Canzine! Oct. 18, 2007      If you are in Toronto, come visit me at the Canzine festival on Sunday, October 28. I will have lots of posters and books for sale.      Montrealers, come see me at Expozine on Saturday, November 24 and Sunday, November 25. Books, posters and my passable French will be there. I'd love to meet you! Oct. 1, 2007      There is a new short comic about Terror Birds in the comics section. Wikipedia has a good article about poor terror birds. How the mighty have fallen! Sept. 15, 2007      There is a new short comic called "Birds are Gross" in the comics section. You can also read a little interview with me over at MONDO Magazine.
