CAPE! and "Mine All Mine"

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 29, 2008, 4:46 AM
Hey folks, just wanted to drop you a quick line about this coming weekend.

This coming Saturday, May 3rd, is the 4rth annual Comic and Pop Culture Expo put on by Zeus comics in Dallas. It takes place conveniently on Free Comic Book Day and is being held at Craddock Park in Dallas. The guest list is truly amazing. Robert Kirkman, Jason Pearson, Greg Pak, David Mack and a metric ton of local and non local badass artists and writers. The con starts at 10am, runs until 6pm, and all throughout there will be free comics, raffles, panels and other such coolness in abundance.

The night before the expo there is also an associated live art show being held at St. Pete’s Dancing Marlin at 9pm. That show will include the likes of James O'barr, Kristian Donaldson, Dave Crosland and hopefully yours truly along with the Space-Gun kru (providing we can scam ourselves some board space).

In addition, myself and a gaggle of other local artists have contributed to a book put together by our very own Dallas writer David hopkins. The book is called "Mine All Mine" and is a series of one page stories written by David about stealing and theft. Included in the book are the talents of a cadre of artists including:

Samax Amen ("The Plan")
Joshua Boulet ("Hero and Thief")
Ryan Cody ("Long Walk Home")
David DeGrand ("Stealing Electricity")
Joe Eisma ("Lost Wallet")
Jake Ekiss(me)/Vinh-Luan Luu ("Vending Machines")
Derrick Fish ("Misdirection")
Michael Lagocki ("Tools of the Trade")
Jim Lujan ("The Nigerian Scam")
Paul Milligan ("Kidnapping")
Wes Molebash ("I Found It")
Chad Sell ("Will Run for Food")
Cal Slayton ("Return Policy")
Justin Stewart ("Blanket Thief")
ZeeS ("Pickpocket")
Scott Zirkel ("The Oil Change")
Cover by Tania Kaufmann

The book will be available at the show Saturday and will afterwards be available online (I'll get that info to you when I have it). Anyway, Dave's a bitchin' writer and these artists are all quality gents, so you should come out and show your support. Here's the promo image for the book, check it out.

You're most welcome. Saw you posting on my boy Joe's gallery and recognized the work from MySpace, good stuff my friend.

Also, Alaska is a powerful figment of many people's imagination. Are you positively certain you weren't born in a very nice part of Canada? ;)

Back again. Because we haven't talked about this space in a while, i think this would be a better test. It is March 27, 2008, Thursday. This is only a test.


WHRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaa!

*laughs* I watch a fair amount of models actually. Gives good ideas for lighting and such when I do my own shoots for illustration. And hey, always can find a model should I need one for a project that way. Handy handy.

Y'know what I hate about DA? that it doesn't notify me when somebody posts on my local wall thingy, gah I need to find a switch for that somewhere. It's bound to have one....
