SPX 09 Con Report

vogeleinComix, Friends, Nerdery, Vogelein

Home from SPX and soooo tired… but if I don’t do the con report tonight, I’ll never get to it, so here goes: Had an absolutely fantastic time, as always. SPX has always been my hands-down favorite show, and this year was no exception. I got the chance to hang out with old friends and new, sell a metric butt-ton … Read More

Holey Moley is right!

vogeleinVogelein

Zowie, but the EMU comics symposium was awesome. Marie Severin lived up to her well-deserved reputation as the nicest person in comics. Al Feldstein showed the courage it takes to spit in the eye of the HUAC – by starting an even more ‘subversive’ magazine. Len Wein and I traded post-election sob stores over diet coke in Prof. Rubenfeld’s living … Read More

Okay, so I’m back, and I’m married. And the house is still a mess. Not a disaster area, but there’s still a lotta work to be done. Then, it’s literally back to the drawing board. Hooray! Happy autumn to you all!

vogeleinMy better half, Vogelein

Just wanted everyone to know that I’ll be out of touch for the next little while. Paul and I are moving into the new house, and as soon as we’re done with that, we’ll be getting married and going off for a week on our honeymoon. So don’t expect to see too much of me online or around between now … Read More

Bad Artist. No biscuit.

vogeleinVogelein

As of late, I’ve been a very Bad Artist. No, I’m not painting any velvet Elvises or anything, I’ve just been colossally unproductive. I could make excuses all the livelong day, but that’s not going to change the fact that I’ve got very little done on the next Vögelein book lately. Fortunately, that trend has seen a dramatic turnaround in … Read More

Reports! Reports! Reports!

Ohkay, it’s time for some reports! No, really. I’m out of my hole, like Punxsutawney Phil. What’s that you say? Phil came and went two months ago? Well, that’s about how long I’ve been out of the loop. For the last several weeks, Paul and I have been running all over the place doing shows and book fairs and school … Read More

Penguicon!

vogeleinVogelein

Hey, everybody. I’m going to be at Penguicon in about three weeks. It should be a total blast — Neil Gaiman and Wil Wheaton are the guests of honor, along with folks like Sarah Zettel, Vince Locke, Jeff Bates and Steve Jackson! Li’l old me will have a table in the Dealers’ room, and will be slingin’ the graphic novels … Read More
