Mill Avenue Vexations Volume 10: The Girl in the Mirror

Mill Avenue Vexations Volume 10: The Girl in the Mirror by Kyt Dotson is available online for readers to enjoy! And, as usual, there are free copies available to people who can get out to Mill Ave in Tempe.

Strange stuff is really brewing in Tempe now that Vex has run into her potential adversary at the Bash on Ash, and in her usual terms, punched her in the jaw.

This doesn't mean that the threat has ended, of course, as while she's taken away an item of some significant power, she doesn't know what it means. Disappearances continue. The city is agitated. And for one of the newer characters, Megan, things are definitely getting hairy: she's started seeing things in mirrors.

Not just any things, but a particular dead girl.

This volume displays art from a considerable number of sources. The cover is by one of my new favorite artists, Del Borovic (*exileddelusion) who did the front cover. And Katie de Sousa (=yumedust), whose brilliant and majestic portrait of Vex is the back cover. Internal artwork and chapter headings are done by Alan Gallo.

You can see the full cover on Mill Avenue Vexations.

So, don't miss Volume 10: The Girl in The Mirror.

The Art of Vexations

I had an idea recently to write some sort of script that upon visiting www.millvexations.com would create a tiny 100px-120px banner below the primary image telling visitors about a particular artist. Especially if they had visited by clicking on an advertisement somewhere…

Example, Katie de Sousa has done an extremely lovely image of Vex Harrow that I have been thinking of using for advertisements on various networks to bring in eyeball traffic. Those who take a gander at the illustration will discover that it’s indeed eye-catching.

It would probably enhance the overall usefulness of the site and shine a light on these wonderful artists who do work for Mill Avenue Vexations.

Consider this still on the drawing board for the moment…but an idea that I really do want to implement.
