SMRT
Well, I had a nice writeup about the release party, but my computer burped and ate it. So I guess you’ll have to wait until next Tuesday. Why? Because I’m moving, so there. Be patient, willya? Oh, and the Ann Arbor News is gonna run another little ditty about me. And I’ve got a couple new gigs in the appearances … Read More
How the Deluxe Hardcovers are made
Hey you guys, want to see how the Clockwork Game Deluxe Hardcovers are going to be made? Check out this tour of Bessenberg Bindery that I posted as an update on my Kickstarter!

Good reading, even if I am still a hobbyist fisherman.
Mary Anne Mohanraj’s GoH speech
Seriously, go read it. It had a lot of us in tears. If I can find it online, I’ll post Nnedi Okorofor’s, too — it was wonderful as well.
SPX
I will be at SPX again this year, on the weekend of September 26-27. This is my fifth SPX, and it remains my absolute favorite show of the year, bar none.

Anne Murphy tells me I’m on some panels — some art panels, and some non-art ones, it seems — but I don’t know when or on what topics yet. Still, it should be a lot of fun.

Hallowe’en Steam
I haven’t made a good Hallowe’en costume in years and years, mostly because I’m usually spending all my time working on comic books. This year, however, Paul and I got invited to a party over at Katja and Steven’s house — and since they’re both costumers, the bar was set pretty high. I knew I’d have to come up with … Read More
SPX 08 Report
This year’s SPX was a total blast. I was really overwhelmed by the quality of the comics I bought during the show — it seemed like everybody had brought out their absolute best. Many of the faces I saw were entirely new to me, which was wonderful. It was great to se so many new entries into the field, and … Read More
