Free Comic Book Day in Halifax, NS!

Journal Entry: Wed Apr 30, 2008, 12:17 PM
I will be there, drawing on things ...

(Cross-posted from my LJ)

Free Comic Book Day! It's this Saturday! May 3rd! And I'm so excited! Strange Adventures will be having a hoopla (yes, that is the official term) for it, and I'll be there and drawing on things. Probably small children. And body parts. So if you're in Halifax this Saturday, come by the store and get free comics and stuff, and say hi to me. (Actually, I think FCBD will be at the church right next to the Spring Garden Library at Spring Garden Road and Brunswick Street, because the thought of cramming hundreds of people into that tiny store makes my claustrophobia itch just a wee bit. Anyway, whatever, I'm sure you'll be able to find where it is. Just follow the hordes of people.). And there'll be other artists there too, so you can talk to them instead of me if I'm scary or something.

However, if you do come talk to me, I'll give you a preview ashcan of my mysterious new graphic novel, which'll be published by SLG in December or thereabouts (barring my hand falling off, which at this point is a real possibility). Already it's getting rave reviews from my friends, one of whom commented (in an outrageous French Canadian accent): "I think this one will do better because the art is better. I don't remember any backgrounds in Zombies Calling." Me: "WHAT." And then I stabbed him with a fork. It was awesome.

Anyway. If you are in Halifax this weekend, BE THERE OR BE SQUARE.

your inkwork astounds and inspires me to no end! in fact, i drew a picture today, experimenting with new techniques in inkwash because you inspired me to do so!


I suppose you could say I lost a few hours of my day because of you...so thank you very much! honestly.

I feel I must explain the sudden spammish looking explosion of favorites you just got from me, because I thought it might seem weird...I was looking through your gallery for some Firefly pictures I remembered, and I noticed that there were a bunch of pictures that I really loved and for some reason I neglected to favorite them earlier. So I figured I had better remedy that, and before I knew it, I hit 20. Who favorites 20 pictures in one sitting? Apparently I do. ^^

Firefly, we're still flying. Best show ever.

Sorry, I should probably post a note on the update LJ ... yes, everything's fine, I'm just incredibly swamped with work, both in animation and comics, and finding time to update Ice is ... unfortunately way down on my list. :/ But thanks for asking. I'll post a note tomorrow or something.

Hi there. Just wanted to state that I received Zombies Calling yesterday in the mail and made time to sit down and read it today.

Fun book, nicely done:) Congrats on getting published.
