Getting ready for cons in Oct

Working on a new idea (big surprise), some new trading card images that i think are turning out very cool. They are tributes to comic legends, and it is a big task that I hope I can pull off. Hoping to get them done and printed soon.

I have a convention in Greenville NC on Oct 8th, I went to college in Greenville and I am very excited about a show there.

After that I may be going to Roanke VA again if my work schedule pans out.

I was unable to attend Dragoncon this year so I am jonesing for a show.

Saturday Aug 27th

I will be appearing at Ultimate comics in Chapel Hill on Saturday the 27th. It is an instore event that will feature several local artists. I found out about it late but they have worked me in. Looking forward to it, haven't been to anything in Chapel Hill and wanting to do some things besides conventions.

Other than that I am on vacation this week. How great is it to have a wife that will not give you grief over going to a comic event while on vacation?

In other news, i have submitted an entry into Stan Lee's contest for the Seekers. I have entered as a writer, which is I think my greater strength. I will just have to see how that pans out.

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.
