It feels great to finally announce the release of my newest creator-owned project, MonstHer! An all-ages adventure, about a young girl helping her father run a halfway house for monsters who were once humans! I'm definitely stepping outside my sandbox with this theme so I hope you'll check it out.

Besides MonstHer, I've been working on the occasional Doctor Who cover for IDW. I just finished an exclusive Doctor Who cover for Hot Topic and will post that as soon as it's approved for release.

Finally, con season is approaching fast and I have a few appearances lined up that I must promote. From the looks of it, this must be my year for meeting Doctor Who actors. Wha-hoo!

Hey Kelly!
I was wondering if you were going to be at Heroes Con again this year?

Artist Alley ComicsSan Diego Comic Con 2012 has come and gone and I have two big announcements!
First, I have a new creator-owned project called, MonstHer! Story and art by (me) Kelly Yates, and colors by the extremely talented Rachelle Rosenberg.
I've been developing the concept on and off a few years now, meanwhile trying to figure out how I was going to distribute it. I initially thought about going through Image Comics like I did with Amber Atoms, but I decided to take a risk and experiment with releasing exclusively digital.
Some of you might be saying, "Boo, no fair!", but hold on, I'm not completely abandoning print or retailers. Once the story is complete and I've hopefully built an audience, I'll collect into a trade paperback.
The cool thing about digital distribution is if I can reach 1,000 paying downloads I can keep the series going. A 1,000 digital copies will pay me, a colorist, a letterer, etc., versus having to sell approximately 5,000 printed copies to breakeven just on printing. An ext

Amber Atoms on ComixologyI'm excited to announce that starting today, you will be able to download Amber Atoms to your preferred handheld mobile device from the iTunes store. What's really cool is you can download the first issue for FREE through the Comixology app. After that it's only 99¢ an issue. So get your digital copy and enjoy the adventure!
Kelly

Website UpdateFall is finally here and I think a great way to kick it off is by attending one of my favorite shows, the Baltimore Comic Con (Oct 10-11). I'm not sure where I'll be set-up, but if you're there drop by and visit. I'll have original artwork for sell and I'll also be working on sketches. Speaking of original artwork, I have updated my SHOP section with available artwork and will continue to expand over the next few weeks.
Well, I guess it's not an update unless I talk about Amber Atoms. I have just about finished illustrating the entire fifth issue. Check out the cover and an interior page below (click to enlarge). Also, for all you cool kids (and adults) out there who prefer reading their comics on an iPhone, Amber Atoms will be joining the Comixology family of products on iTunes. I don't have an official release date yet since the files are being converted, but when it hits I'll let you know.
Also, I do have some availability in my schedule so if you're interested in having me work on

San Diego Comic ConHere are my signing times for San Diego Comic-Con. Bring your copies of Amber Atoms, Doctor Who or anything I worked on and I'll sign it. If you don't already have copies, I'll have a few on hand.
See ya in San Diego!

'AMBER ATOMS' COLLIDES WITH IMAGE COMICSPRESS RELEASE - KELLY YATES' AMBER ATOMS LANDS AT IMAGE THIS FEBRUARY!
Illustrator Kelly Yates brings his sci-fi vision to Image!
20 November 2008 (Berkeley, CA) - This February, after exploring the worlds of TELLOS, DOCTOR WHO, GREEN ARROW and JLA/JSA, artist Kelly Yates kicks off his very own ongoing sci-fi adventure series, AMBER ATOMS!
"AMBER ATOMS comes from a deep rooted love of space faring sci-fi adventures, like STAR WARS and its own inspiration, the 1930s Flash Gordon serials," said Yates. "Each issue fires off at as fast a clip as possible, with cliffhangers at every turn while still maintaining my favorite part of the book - Amber herself. A good sci-fi story is held together by the human perspective and Amber's certainly the series' heart."
AMBER ATOMS' life on planet Madisomme is far from the exciting one she always dreamed of. Yet when mercenaries and aliens suddenly invade Amber's home she quickly learns her dreams may give her more than she bargained for, es

Colorist Position FilledThe colorist position for Amber Atoms has finally been filled. I want to thank everyone that took the time to send me a note and their color samples. There were a lot of talented artists that responded, unfortunately there is only one position available. I'll have more on my choice at a later time.
I would've liked to respond to all the people who applied, but due to the large volume of submissions that will be impossible.
Respectfully,
Kelly Yates

Protecting yourself from Paypal chargebacksI decided I'd write something on this since it seems to be affecting a lot of my friends and artists I'm close to. I'll start with a few disclaimers.
Disclaimer 1:
I am not a finance expert. I have never filed a chargeback nor have I been in a chargeback dispute (fortunately). I have done some research out of both curiosity and out of desire to help out the community a bit. This is going to be quick(ish) and summarized. I'm also going to be changing some things to the way I sell as well (obviously).
Disclaimer 2:
This journal isn't about what to do in a chargeback dispute but rather, how to set up your sales so that you'll have the upper hand when having to deal with a dispute. I've included some useful links at the bottom for further information!

Close To You - Lyrics - Sans VersionTHE FLOWERS OF THE NEW AND LAUGHTER OF THE PAST,
THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL LIKE YOU, BEAUTY UNSURPASSED!
GONE WITH A WHISPER, YOU FALL ASLEEP LIKE DEATH,
BREAKING THROUGH THE EARTH, YOUR SMILE SHINES AGAIN!
MY EMPTY GRATITUDE, ANOTHER EMPTY THANK YOU,
I FINALLY LEARNED REGRET, FROM WORDS I'VE ALWAYS SAID.
NEVER MEANT TO SPEAK TO HURT, YET IT HURT TO PUT IN WORDS,
GOODBYE WHEREVER YOU ARE, GOODBYE UNBROKEN HEART.
IN TRUTH I WANT TO FEEL, THE TRUTH I WANT TO SEE,
I'M TRYING TO EMBRACE YOUR DRIFTING HEART AND SMILE!
WHENEVER I BEGIN TO FEEL THE BURNING TEARS OVERFLOWING FROM MY EYES,
I KEEP ON LOOKING FORWARD AT YOU, HOPING THAT YOUR LIGHT WILL NEVER PASS ME BY!
I WONDER WHAT THE STARS THAT SPARKLE IN YOUR EYES ARE HIDING FROM MY MIND,
HIDING FROM MY OPEN HEART AND FROM YOUR OPEN HEART!
TOGETHER, YOU AND I WILL ALWAYS BE ALIVE, CONNECTED, CLOSE TO YOU I'LL STAY!
AS LONG AS I CAN HOLD YOUR HAND AGAIN AND AGAIN, FOREVER, I WILL FIND MY WAY!
YOU MAY NEVER ANSWER BACK MY CALL BUT YOU SMILE AT ME WITH

TLECs 2nd Annual Training Show RESULTS UPSo, this is a wee bit late, please ignore the huge time gap. XD
TLEC has decided to once again, open its gates to the public for another large training show. This time, it was to be run a little differently. Last time was stressful, and thats not the point of a training show. With that being said, they set up the new list of classes and decided on a different judging style. This time, there would be playful classes as well, to make it more family oriented.

Rules
- No fighting or harassment, we are an equal opportunity stable
- All breeds may enter, but no unnatural powers may be used to get an advantage
- Judging is simple, both effort and rng for performance (guide will be listed below)
- Linearts, Photomanips, Trades, and Commissions may enter (tracing is allowed, at the very least list you have used a ref)
- Old entries may be submitted, but will receive a penalty for not fitting the setting
- No extra

]

-you can either use LK's colors or use a solid color (like white). Or not i really don't care
-be creative. I will be looking at how much you actually worked on this, and it's not something you threw together

Hi everyone!I usually hate seeing journals like this, but given that I’ve spent 13 years on this site and met thousands of people, knowing there are at least a few of you who would probably want to hear if something was going on, I figure this is the only way to tell you.
For the past several years I’ve been dealing with health issues that I originally attributed to being overweight and/or having a sedentary lifestyle.
A few months ago, I was dealing with a chronic sinus infection and drainage from hell. To offset my symptoms and maybe get some sleep for once, I went to bed with a breathe-right strip on my nose. I woke up with no nose strip to be found and a weird feeling in my throat, like something was there. I went to the emergency room assuming I had swallowed the strip; they looked in my throat and said they didn’t see any plastic strip, but they did see that my throat (epiglottis, vocal cords etc) was terribly swollen, and because I work at an airport, tuberculosis had to b
