When I tried out for Who Wants to be a Millionaire I sat next to a lady named Marjorie. I made the cut, and she didn’t (you can read about my adventures in game shows here) but we exchanged cards and have kept in touch since. She’s gone on to pursue her dream of stand-up [...]
Most of the work here at the studio the last few days has been production stuff. I’m lettering a "Deadbeats" trade paperback, working on the new Claypool website, and getting ready to color a new project. Lots of stuff, but not a lot to show. So, this is a birthday card I designed for Catapult [...]
I got to attend the first and only Flanvention a couple of years ago. The second one was cancelled abruptly, and all sorts of bad surrounded it. I don’t know what happened there, so I can’t speak to it. (Many of the cast, including Nathan Fillion, showed up to the bar at the hotel where [...]
I, like everyone else on the planet, have a list of “things I’ve been meaning to do.” One of them is to use Cleveland’s House of Blues a little more. I’ve always liked the House. I’ve been to the ones in Orlando, New Orleans, Los Angeles, and of course, Cleveland. The place has a great [...]
Okay, I don’t usually bother you faithful readers o’my blog with things like this, but this one’s a little different. I’d like to do a Love and Capes t-shirt for San Diego. My plan is to do it as a giveaway, or something close to that as San Diego has rules about giveaways at the [...]
I’m being a little over-achievery today. I don’t need to have this done for almost a month, but I have this theory. Actually, I have a theory about darn near everything. This particular theory is that it’s better to do the work you want to do when you want to do it. You’ll be more [...]
I met Mark Lutz at the 2002 Mid-Ohio-Con and we’ve been friends ever since. We share a love of comics, and he was on one of my favorite TV shows, “Due South.” Now Mark is writing and starring in a movied about Victor Davis, Canadian swimmer. It’s been a mission of his for some time, [...]
I just finished working on a logo for Catapult Online for their Baltimore vs. DC Celebrity Paintball Tournament. It’s going to feature players from the evil Baltimore Ravens and the Washington Redskins. Working for Catapult Online lets me do some pretty fun stuff, and I think this will look pretty sharp on t-shirts and wherever [...]
Today was the day. I sent out the final files (minus one recalcitrant ad that will be in tomorrow) for Love and Capes #4 to Quebec, where Lebonfon will be printing it. I didn’t get too much more done today, aside from that, but that’s a pretty big thing. Sometime soon, I’ll have to start [...]
A year or so ago, I made the decision that it was time to stop working on weekends and evenings. I’d allowed my work life to grow to the point where it was, well, my life, and I wanted to get it under control. So, I slowly let my clients know and I went from [...]
