Here’s some news:

The Art of Comics

So today I received the official word (more or less) that enough students have enrolled to take The Art of Comics that it’s actually going to happen! Holy bones, I am very excited. Very big thanks to every one who has signed up already and anyone else who wants to enroll, follow the link (http://cia.edu/continuinged) — we’ll be happy to have you.

Friends

My buddies over at Sean Malloy Productions have really been moving! They’ve got a new site and a beautiful logo and they shot a new short picture over the weekend. Looking forward to checking that out when they are ready.

Genghis Con

All this updating and I didn’t tell you guys that I went to Cleveland’s best comic book convention!

Fine establishment Astound! Comics held the first annual Genghis Con in the twilight of ’09 and I was lucky enough to attend. It’s been a couple months past now, but man, that was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday. Not only did I get to meet some local comic makers, but I got to stand around and talk to the internetionally-known critic Abhay Kholsa. Shit can this man write, and it was a great time to share some words with him. I insisted that I was his biggest fan at the show and he insisted he was never tabling at a convention again.

I will always have fond memories of my first, but I’m already looking forward to next year. See you there.

The House

We’ve made great progress with out house! The hardwood floors are all cleaned up and the main living area has shed its wallpaper and been fixed up all proper. We’re in the final stages of Phase One, and when that’s done, we can probably start letting people see it, so you should expect pictures.

In an act of appeasement, we got a television set so that we can now play our video game systems. This is good news for the Wii and PS2 that have been sitting in the basement all disconnected for almost a year. While my wallet can’t keep up with the dreams awakened by this purchase, I’m looking forward to the stateside release of Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon in March.

(Things are really happening in the next couple of months! Joanna Newsom’s new record, Have One on Me also comes out!!!!!! wow)

That’s All

Till next time, when I will tell you some things that might be of interest to you
