In Houston, at a fantastic live art event after Saturday’s Comicpalooza. Joel (who took this picture) made one too. All pieces were auctioned off to benefit the CBLDF.
Hey I’m in San Francisco at WonderCon this weekend! Booth 425, with Octopus Meredith, Dr. McHastings, Saturday Morning Breakfast Weiner, & Dresden Diaz. The booth is called The Reason You Came. I will have the new book! Probably! Maybe. Hopefully!
I’ve updated the right sidebar to indicate my confirmed-as-of-this-instant 2010 appearances! Coming up first is this weekend‘s Tweet Me Harder Live event plus Emerald City Comicon, both in Seattle, to be followed very quickly by visits to Houston, San Francisco, New York, and Chicago.
ALSO: Regarding the One Too Many Mornings contest: I neglected to mention that the deadline is Friday at midnight! And if you don’t have Facebook or Twitter, but would still like to enter the contest, you can always tell the filmmakers your story directly — their contact info is listed at onetoomanymornings.com! But really, the point of the contest is to spread the word about the movie. So — email the filmmakers, then tell twenty strangers about the time you were hung over, and we’ll call it even. Deal? (I have no way of knowing if you don’t do the last part.)
ALSO here is a sketch I just did:
Here are some more examples of the sketches I put in Artist Edition books! Each sketch is unique and totally unpredictable.
This is a reminder that these special edition books are currently available through October 11 only, and that the opportunity will not be offered again until next spring. UPDATE: They’re done! Thanks to all who ordered. Next chance will be in April or so.
Will yours look as dapper as these (or any of these older ones)? It is impossible to say yet exciting to imagine. The books — individually or in a discounted combination pack — are available here.
Here are some sketches from my recent trip to SPX! They have nothing to do with SPX, but I had a lot of time to kill on airplanes. All were drawn with that surprisingly-versatile tool, the hotel-logo-imprinted ballpoint pen. (Click for bigger versions)
Also, a reminder: I’m at the Long Beach Comic Con this weekend (Friday-Sunday, booth 149, with “Sheldon”), and on Sunday at 3pm, I’ll even be on a panel, talking about either webcomics or Your Sure-Fire Route To Easy Internet Millions. I’m excited to see what I’ll have to say; I could use some of those internet millions. Join me, Dave Kellett and Jeff Zugale for what’s sure to be a raucous time!
This weekend I’ll be in Portland, Oregon for the Stumptown Comics Fest! Portland is the Beard Capital of the USA, so it’s only fair that I use this post for a BEARD LINK ROUNDUP:
BEARD HEAD. So many people have sent me this link! It is a very windy day in Los Angeles today so I could certainly use one of my own. Beardhead.com
Amazing video from the World Beard & Moustache Championships (2003)! My favorite quote: “Well, I don’t normally wear it like this, it’s a bit impractical actually.” This year’s championships are coming up next month in Anchorage, Alaska.
Beard Song. Quite a lovely song really.
The astonishing charity fundraiser, Things My Beard Can Lift.
The Australian band “The Beards“. They proclaim themselves to be “a bearded band”, which is great — but wait! “We only play songs about beards and having beards.” Phenomenal.
This lovely poster is by Michael Buchino of beardrevue.com, which should have a home in the “Beards” tab of your bookmarks folder or RSS list.
Finally, here is a drawing that I made in 2006, the very first year that I went to the Stumptown show:
See you in Portland!
