Baltimore Than I Could Have Hoped For

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Baltimore. It looks much better than it does on The Wire. I went to the always-excellent Baltimore Comicon, accompanied by comics scribe Paul Storrie. Baltimore is one of my favorite cons. Marc Nathan puts on an amazing show, and one centered on comics. No media or wrestling or any of the that, and no slight [...]

And now we can go straight into the middle eight

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

You want to know what my day was like yesterday? I got up around 6:30, did some lettering and production work, hopped in my car and produced a radio commercial, came back home, did a cover for HGR, worked on Mid-Ohio-Con stuff, and did a page of Love and Capes. One of the things I [...]

Brave Brave Sir… er, Madam Robyn

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

A while back, Paul originated a sequel to the Robin Hood myth, Robyn of Sherwood, with Robin’s daughter catching up with the gang fifteen years after the end of the original. I’m not doing it justice, but it was a great series. It’s going to be coming back, remastered with all sorts of newness. I [...]

The Shirt Off My Back

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

I’ve been doing design work for the new Mid-Ohio-Con this year. So I designed postcards and the program book and so on. I’ve also been able to design the Mid-Ohio-Con Con Crew shirts for this year, too. They’re the shirts I teased a week or so ago. The shirts will be proudly worn by the [...]

Just a reminder that you still have a few days to order the Love and Capes collection from IDW from Previews. It’s order code SEP084142E.

My Dulcet Tones, part 27 (or something like that).

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

I mentioned before that I recorded a podcast interview a couple of weeks ago. It was for the Comic Book Page, and the interview’s posted. I’m up there with Rick Remender and Stephanie O’Donnell. If you’re of a mind to do so, go ahead and check it out. EDIT: I just listened to the podcast. [...]

Life's more painless, for the brainless

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

The hard part in starting Love and Capes is always the first few pages. Getting back on that horse is always rocky and hitting my stride is rough. Hence why when my non-LNC workload spiked over the last couple of weeks, it was a little too easy to put it off. But, I’m back plugging [...]

College Ain't Cheap, Fella!

Friday, September 19th, 2008

So, my pals at Mental Floss are having a contest to give away five $10,000 college scholarships, as well as some free dinners, to clever and deserving college students. Am I mentioning this because they promised to link to all of us who mention the contest and get the word out? Yes. Hey, I ain’t [...]

Hush Now Baby, Don't Say a Word

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

It’s Baltimore time, and that means another Baltimore Comicon and another Baltimore exclusive glass. Since Jim Lee is a guest this year, Toon Tumblers is doing a Jim Lee Batman glass. Toon Tumblers is a client, and a good one at that. I love working for them. So it’s taking all my self-control not to [...]

Six Years of Boo at the Zoo

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Since 2002, I’ve been the caricaturist for the Cleveland Metroparks Boo at the Zoo. It’s a Halloween event for kids that the Zoo holds the two weekends before Halloween. It’s been a blast. It originally was a two day event, and over the years has become a four-day extravaganza over two weeks. And, while drawing [...]
