Con Aftermath...


Wow...
It's been 5 days since the SDCC and I'm still exhausted... What a fantastic time though! It was sooo inspiring to be around so many awesome artists and to see so much amazing work! I got the chance to meet some big inspirations (John Navarez, greatest guy ever) and a bunch of old friends too (Steve Lambe, Miah Alcorn, Robin Mitchell). My creative batteries are completely recharged!
It was the first time I was out there at a table, and despite not recieving one out of the two tables we reserved, everything couldnt have gone better! I'm so happy that i decided to get my book together, "Amalgamation", to sell out there. I couldnt be any happier at how well recieved it was... I really had no expectations coming in and was thrilled to unload nearly 100 of them! Thanks sooo much to anyone and everyone that picked one up!
The single most important step in all this was, first and foremost, the creation of this blog. And I truly owe it all to Steve Lambe! Steve, youre an awesome guy and you really pushed me to show my stuff more, even though I'd constantly shoot ya down...(and still will) I owe ya a bunch! Thanks for turning me on to it!
So, over the next few days I will try to set up a Pay Pal button and attempt to get rid of the rest of these at $10 a pop to whoever is interested... If you are interested just shoot me an e-mail and I will keep tabs, or wait for the "store" to pop up... copies are limited however.
Time to get to work for next year! *** I need sleep***

San Diego Comic Con 2006 vol.2




Fantastic news!! A group of good friends and I are all approved for a table in San Diego and my first book ever should be arriving tomorrow!(knock on wood) I'll be recieving my books and some prints in hopes of unloading them at the Con...
Hopefully, if all goes well and enough people show interest, I'll sell a second run online...
just shoot me an e-mail if ur interested...
If we're tight, dont worry, youve got one already...

Im also in cahoots with my main man Bruno... We'll be picking up some postcards we got printed this weekend, in an attempt at shamelessly selfpromoting ourselves... here it is...

These we'll throw around for free and hope that some stick...

I gotta take a sec BTW to thank Bruno a ton for his help these last few weeks! Ive leaned on him heavily and really value his opinion and help... ya hear that foo! i said thanks! Hes been letting me have it lately... And thanks to Bob who went through everything first with his book... whew...
