I Enjoyed BBCC

This Labor Day weekend I attended the Big Bend Comic Con and had a blast. After getting things done for a month in advance, moving, and getting my books created and ordered it was great to be able to go to such an interesting and fun event. Meeting new people and seeing some old friends was a blast. I really enjoyed the event and I thank everyone who was both interested in and purchased my books.

Me and my setup

I don’t know anything about the future of the event, but I would definitely like to attend the next convention. I’m also looking into events around the area in the near future.

I hope you had a good and restful Labor Day weekend. I know I did, and I’m ready to get back to working.

This update comes a little close to the event due to strange circumstances and problems with moving, but it is still here before the event it is discussing.photo-88
This weekend I will be attending the Big Bend Mini Comic Con in Alpine, Texas as an artist. It’s at Sul Ross State University on Saturday the 5th from 1-5 pm. At this event I will be premièring 2 new books and 2 updated versions of my previous books, as well as having my last two compilations for sale as well.photo-89
The two new books are collections of Spiffy the Frog and One Off Beat. They will join updated editions of my not-available-online books Sturmpanzerwagen and Drak Pouste, and my two previous collections of All Life, No Lemons and Panzerkampfwagen. Shortly after this convention, these new books will be available on Amazon and the Createspace e-store. And additional post will be made when that happens.photo-85
I hope you enjoy your Labor Day weekend and festivities and I hope if you’re in the Big Bend area you can come down to the Con and say hello!

Quick Update 3-19-15

Quick Blog update here.  About a month ago I was one of the experts consulted in the Wirecutter (thewirecutter.com) article about the best mechanical pencil, which you can read here. I really enjoyed it, even though the top pick from the poll and other experts wasn’t my pick, but I’m just a contrary person sometimes, I guess. Anyway there’s tons of great information on their website and the sites of those they consulted. I’d encourage you to look at it.

Also, physical copies of a few of my webcomics are available here and here (or here and here) with a few bonus extras. If you enjoy those comics they make great additions to any library.
