New comics all around. I'd like to make an effort to add a new "I'm my Own Mascot" comic every Wednesday. We'll see how well that works out with my already busy schedule, but I enjoy doing them and would like to make a habit of it.
I've been hitting a few conventions over the past several weeks doing commissions and selling art/comics/what not. Sales are picking up and it's looking very likely we will do more in the coming year (with more goodies to sell I hope).
This weekend I'll be at the Brooklyn Park Public Library doing a 35-minute drawing seminar as part of thier "Anime & Comics Mini Forum". Should be good fun. I'm planning to do something a little different from previous seminars. The idea is an intro to the fundamentals of good cartoon drawing: line, shape, perspective, observation, and exaggeration...but I have to do it in a way that'll keep kids and teenagers interested. Hopefully I can pull it off without boring these kids to tears and/or falling flat on my face. Nothing ventured, nothing gained and all that.
Anywho, if any of you out there in internet-land want to check it out, here's the details...
When: Saturday Nov 15th at 11am (my section starts at 11:20)
Where: Anne Arundel County Public Library Brooklyn Park
1 East 11th Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21225
And who knows? If people dig it, maybe I'll take it on the road...or at the very least to a convention or two.

First off, new comics. You know the place. ^_^
Second off, check out this video from the Baltimore Comic Con. You can see filthy assistants, Katy and Sally, getting funky at the Interrobang/K-Bo. booth at minute 3:05. I must admit I giggled a bit and am sad that I wasn't at the table when this was filmed.
Anywho, here's the URL...

Also,I got to hit the Small Press Expo this past weekend and met a lot of really cool folks. If any of you are reading this, Sarah or I will be emailing you soon about link swaps and stuff. It was great to chat with you all.
I'll be meeting with the Interrobang staff tonight to discuss our convention plans for the next year. Hopefully, I'll have enough info to post about it here for next weeks update.
Until then...!
Got some new strips in the comics section, including a brand-new "I'm my own mascot" detailing the amusing statistics of my newest comic book. And the weekly Interrobang comics are up again, so feel free to check those out and, as always, I welcome any feedback you guys have.
Baltimore Comic Con went really well and I got to meet a lot of really cool people (including comics master, Jim Lee). Had a lot of commissions too, so many thanks to the folks who gave me the opportunity (and the cash) to do that. Fellow cartoonist Alex Robinson even featured my piece for him on his nifty-keen comics site. You can check it out at: http://www.comicbookalex.com/WallofFame.html So yeah, the BCC was full of win. Can't wait for next year.
Alright, now it's back to the ol' drawing table. Hoo Ha!!
