TCAF! What a weekend!

JUST A FEW PICTURES OF THE WEEKEND. THE VEIW FROM THE SECOND FLOOR LOOKING DOWN, MY BOOKS(WOO-HOO) AND MYSELF AND FRIEND MATT COLLINS.
TCAF WAS AWSOME AS USUAL, CHRIS AND PETER FROM THE BEGUILING DID SUCH A GREAT JOB OF ORGINIZING AND ROUNDING UP A TON OF INCREDIBLE ARTISTS FOR THE SHOW. THEY ARE IN MY MIND THE BEST COMICS STORE AND COMICS SUPPORTERS I'VE EVER KNOWN. AS FOR MY TABLE, I MET MY EXPECTED QUOTA FOR SALES SO I CAN'T COMPLAIN. I GOT TO SEE SOME OLD FACES AND MET SOME NEW ONES WHICH IS COOL. ON SUNDAY I PICKED UP A SHIT LOAD OF AMAZING BOOKS.
MATTHEW FORSYTHE'S SKETCHBOOK (INCREDIBLE)
ELEANOR DAVIS'S AMAZINGLY HAND CRAFTED BOOKS WERE SO BEAUTIFUL
ZACH WORTON- REALLY AMAZING ARTIST DOING REALLY AMAZING WORK.
JEFF LEMIRE- VERY SOOPER TALENTED WRITER/ARTIST
Chris Kuzma, Marcel Guldemonde, Damien Jay AND Drew Weing
AND MY PICK FOR OUTSTANDING HIDDEN GEM AWARD GOES TO DAVID YODER! WOW WHAT A FUNNY GUY. HONESTLY THIS GUY IS SO FUCKING FUNNY ON SO MANY LEVELS YOU HAVE NO IDEA.
SO MANY MORE TALENTED GALS AND GUYS AT TCAF REALLY MAKE DOING COMICS WORTH WHILE. IT'S EASY TO BECOME DISHEARTENED AFTER A SHOW BECAUSE YOU SEE ALL THIS AWSOME STUFF AND WISH THAT WHAT YOU WERE DOING WAS AS COOL. I LIKE MY WORK, DON'T GET ME WRONG IT'S JUST SOMETIMES I WONDER IF WHAT I'M WRITTING ABOUT IS WHAT I'M SUPOSED TO BE DOING.
OH WELL.

PREVIEW

HERE IS A FOUR PAGE PREVIEW OF PART OF THE BOOK. THIS BOOK, THE LUXURY OF LIVING HAS BEEN A THORN IN MY SIDE FOR TWO YEARS NOW AND EVEN THOUGH IT ISN'T COMPLEATED, IT'S DONE AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED. WRITTING ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE CAN BE ENJOYABLE OR EVEN CATHARTIC IF DONE PROPERLLY. IN MY CASE MY STUBORNESS WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO MOVE ON UNTILL I FELT A RELEASE OF SOME ANGER AND/OR SADNESS TOWARDS WHAT WAS BEING TOLD. I'VE RELEASED IT... I THINK AND TO CONTINUE THIS BOOK WOULD BE REDUNDANT IF ONLY FOR RECONITIONAL VALUES OF WHICH THERE IS NONE.

new book out now!!!

HERE IS THE COVER I USED FOR MY NEW BOOK. IT TOOK AROUND FOUR DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF A UNRELATED IMAGE BEFORE IN A FRUSTRATED FIT I GAVE UP ON TRYING TO USE AN IMAGE FROM THE BOOK, AND WENT WITH THIS.

New Shtuff.

Don't you hate it when people don't update their blogs! Man, how...

Summer of Oh Six!

Birthday #1

You're never too old for toys!

How 'bout a look into some of the crap I stick on my shelves... I ordered these Seven Samurai figures from Japan. It was too expensive to bid on them on ebay so I picked up a box of twelve for $22 bucks. (about the same price they were going for on ebay.)

My computer is an old man and needs to be put down.

This is how I'm doing...Great!
One more weekend of our show and we can take a breather before things get up and going after the holidays. My comic book needs some loving attention and so does my computer.
ie: I've decided to get a new one. It's as if computers live in quadruple dog years. they just don't last forever. Go figure! Here's a new drawing I'm attempting for a screen print. On it's own it's pretty damn cool though.
