Thank you for supporting the Kickstarter effort for The Devastator! Amanda, Geoffrey and I are very excited to see this book come together. I should make clear that you can still get in on the pre-order for the book for the next day or so, and I’ll also be sure to mention it once the physical book is available!
On my travels, I like to sketch — either on paper in my notebook, or on my laptop with a drawing tablet. This particular collection is the result of an animated evening in New York a few weeks back, and I thought I’d share!
This weekend I’m in Toronto for TCAF! What a fun show, what a great city, what a tremendous collection of artists under one roof. Plus, it’s free! Just walk in the ol’ door! What do you have to lose.
Another thing I love about TCAF is how varied the panels and programming always are. Just check out the schedule — if you have even a passing interest in comics I’m sure you’ll find something interesting going on. TCAF is one of the rare breed of comics shows put on by people who love comics and comics creators foremost (which cannot be said of all shows, sadly), and boy, it shows!
On Saturday I’ll be on a panel called “Tracers, Photoshoppers, Cut & Pasters: Cheaters or Revolutionaries?” with my good friends Ryan and Emily as well as two other folks I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet. We’ll be talking about making comics without actually, you know, drawing comics in the traditional fashion. I think it will be a gas! OR, it could be miserable, but I think that is fairly unlikely.
On the plane to Toronto I impressed myself mightily by saying to the person beside me (after a few minor conversations about the drink cart and so on proved to be perfectly pleasant), “Can we be friends? I am tired of sitting in these seats staring straight ahead not talking to people. I’m David.” I’m not usually comfortable initiating conversations like that, but I did this time, and it was nice! We talked for an hour or so, and then went back to our reading or whatever. It was perfectly fine.
I might even try it again on the next flight — but only if the preliminary drink-cart tester-conversations go smoothly first.
Good job on making friends Dave! Bonus points for sustaining a such a long conversation.
I think I’ll attempt the same here in So. Cal. I’ll tell you how it turns out on Tuesday.
Please… I want to buy a Vegetarians Rule shirt so bad… You don’t even know. I would buy it the day it went on sale.
Friend linked the veggies.jpg, I figured in the spirit of the photoshopers (well I used gimp but anyway): http://www.lessthanthreesoftware.com/media/images/carnivores.jpg
I admire your courage and hope one day to be trapped on a flight with you.
What Jarreddo said… I would LOVE Vegetarians Rule as a t-shirt and I would DEFINITELY buy it! 😀
