New York Comic Con

Ahoy!

New York Comic Con has come and gone, zipped and zambled, and blown my tiny little mind.

And yes, not only was this my first trip to NYC, it was also the grand release of Fiction Clemens issue 1. I had a blast and a half doing all those little things I've been envious of for years: signing books, smiling hungrily at strangers, spilling silver ink on my fingers and then smearing it over my nose. Ah, the joys of THAT side of the table.

It was great. I can't complain. I met a lot of fine folks and reunited with a few of my old favorites.

I only have a couple pictures right now, but at some point I'll get around to doing a full-blown account of the adventure over at "Good Against Remotes".


Surprise! Ape made a big ole poster of issue 2. This picture was taken after I spent 10 minutes jumping around like an excited idiot. (Artwork by Freedom Drudge, Alejandro Marmontel, and Veronica Gandini).


Dear friend and brilliant writer, Aussie-born JAn, took this shot of Camilla and I enjoying New York's (and dare I say, the world's) finest Hot Dog.

Thanks to everyone who came by to support and get the book. For those who haven't, issue 1 hits the shelves in mid-May.

24Seven Nabs Eisner Nomination

24Seven, vol. 2, Ivan Brandon's anthology that housed my short story, "So This Robot Walks into a Bar" picked up an Eisner nomination for Best Anthology today. It really is a gorgeous book, and of course I'm hoping it wins.

Eisner Nominations

The fact that this news broke on the day I catch my train to New York for the release of "Fiction Clemens" issue 1, can only be taken as good tidings. This trip should prove to be life-altering for me, personally, and a damn lot of fun on top of that.

Expect a detailed account upon my return!!

lovins,
