It’s a big day in the Springlemeyer-Goodfellow house. It’s the day Ryan has been working so hard to get to… the launch party and official launch of the magazine. Kai happens to be in town for this big event. Kai has already gotten the party started… well, last night, anyhow.
There’s only two more Randie & Ryan’s left. It’s getting a bit teary… on my end. I hate ends. But good things happen at the ends… because there’s new beginnings there.
I have given this a great deal of thought and it was not an easy decision for me… but I’ve decided to move on from doing regular comics. In other words, I’m going to end “Randie & Ryan” and “Squid Row” at the end of September.
The final Randie & Ryan will be on Sept. 27 and the last Squid Row will be on Sept. 29th.
After moving to Oregon last year, I wanted a reinvention. New place. New home. New me. It became clearer and clearer that the direction I was heading in was not comics, but art. I became a member in an art gallery and my focus began to shift. I’ve decided to throw ALL my energy at the “fine art” side of things.
I want to thank you for coming along on this ride with me… following the adventures of Randie Springlemeyer and Ryan Goodfellow. They have been such close family. And I don’t believe that I will walk away from them forever… I know I’ll call them up from time to time, but it won’t be a regular page thing. Over the years, your readership, and support, has been amazing and I cannot thank you enough.
I won’t be touching the archives or the websites… and I will probably post things from time to time with updates on things in the blog. I encourage you to visit bridgettspicer.com as that will be where I will be focusing more. Also, visit my instagram account… instagram.com/brigtoon … where I update frequently.
Those of you who give on Patreon, be sure to see how I’ll be changing up what’s being offered. Thank you for your support!
Again, thank you so much! -Bridgett

It was the Summer of 2015…
…the first day of Summer to be precise and exact.
That’s when I started this here graphic-y novel-y style comic. It’s been 3 years and the appearance has changed, as have the characters. Randie has struggled with alone-ness… a strange irony in that she became Ryan’s partner. Ryan has changed careers, and they both exchanged the familiarity of place for a new home out of state. So to sum up, the story has really been about change.
It does mirror my own life’s dramatic changes of late… but, then again, it is my creation.
With the 3rd anniversary I ask:
What has been your favorite story or R&R incident over the last 3 years?
(please answer in the comments)
My art desk looks like this these days… 
There’s always something to do in Portland. This Sunday is Mimosa Sunday at Sidestreet Arts. This is always a special treat… where delicious conversation and munchies are to be had. From 11 to 2 pm, member & represented artists hobnob and conversate with anybody that walks through the charming gallery. There’s even special gifts for the first several folks through the door.
And don’t miss seeing some of my work while you sip Brunch Beverages… I’ll be floating around… so think up some good questions to ask when you see me.
11-2 pm, June 10th, 140 SE 28th Ave., Portland, OR
Holy Bananas… I’ve not posted here for some time. I was just saying this same thing over at Squidrowcomics.com … sheesh.
Well, that’s because I have been spending a lot of time collaging and cutting up little bits of paper. I’ve got a spot over at the Sidestreet Arts gallery in Portland, Oregon. So creating works for to buy has been this crazy busy art thing I’ve been up to. You can see more of this over on bridgettspicer.com under the portfolio section.
