Summer

Been a nice summer. I've only done a couple shows for quite a while, which is disappointing, but have been spending a lot more time with Wendy (which is never disappointing).
Issue 7 is ready to be scanned and prepped. I hope to have it to the printer very soon.

Other shows are coming, hopefully a couple really soon.

I've also been doing a lot of writing lately. So Dyslexic Cosmic #2 may definitely happen, which makes me happy. Have my 40th birthday coming, which is interesting.

More news to come soon, I hope.

Happiness is...

Drawing bears.
For me, it is just so much fun. Began pencilling issue 8 of Intermezzo and remembered how much fun it is to draw bears.

ROBCON

Had a wonderful trip to Bristol, VA this weekend. Had my best show so far this year. A really good show, very busy crowd all day long. Met some interesting people, sold some stuff, got to talk about Intermezzo with some new people, and got to have a relaxing roadtrip with Wendy. It was worth the trip and I hope to go again in the future.

I am currently working on finding some other shows to attend. If you know of any near NC let me know. If you know of a comics shop that may be interested in having an artist/writer there for a while, that would be great too.

New computer... yea!

We had our computer die, finally got a new one.

Issue 7 is completed. Now I can work on getting it to the printer. Issue 7 is one I am looking forward to getting out there, the story is really going now. It is a big point for the story, at one point it was the start of the series. This is a big plot point to me.

And also, I am going to Rob Con this weekend in Bristol. First show since Heroescon. Hoping to improve on my last show.

Hi there

Been moving right along. Discouraged since Heroescon, but getting myself motivated to keep working (all that reallt means is saying "shut up and do it" I'm not that complex about it.

Issue 7 is nearly complete. I have the weekend off as well as Tuesday so the goal is to be done inking and start on a new cover idea.

Had a great conversation with Louis Small where he gave me some great advice about Intermezzo, the covers, the artwork, my presentation with it, and pretty much everything. It was very useful to me, and I really appreciated it.

Also working on some designs for displays for the cons. A couple of options are dominating right now, and it really comes down to a decision of direction.

Looking at cons for the summer and beyond, I'll be at NC Comicon in Nov. Others to be confirmed when I get them finalized.

Heroescon, the aftermath

Had a rough show, there I said it. Ok, the words i've used has been "collosal failure." Most people would say to try to "look on the bright side" and a lot of the time I do. But I also feel I need to be honest on this blog (even if I'm not sure anyone is reading it). Let's just say I am shaken by this. I have had bad shows before, everyone has. But this one has me thinking I need to re-evaluate a lot of things.

To look on the bright side, if you bought a copy of Intermezzo or Dyslexic Cosmic (on its debut show) I will be sure to remember you if you drop me an email. See, I can be optimistic. Because i know i can't quit. It may be a stupid dream, but its the one I got.

I will get to work on finishing issue 7 of Intermezzo tomorrow. No rest for the stupid.

Heroescon...

If I ever make it there it should be a fun show. Unfortunately the universe is harshing my groove. In addition to all of the other things happening, it looks like my convention partner Stacy (O lady of the leather masks) cannot go at all. We are trying to figure out our plans, my wife Wendy is going, and going above and beyond to cover. Jason will be there with his artwork and Steampunk gear, and i hope we can bring some of Stacy's masks as well.

I think we are cursed. Maybe I shouldn't have made fun of that old gypsy woman.
