Megacon was incredible. I wasn't REALLY prepared for what was there (even though my daughter told me that it would be all that and more) and I freaked out trying to take it all in. Not only did we see several up and coming artists, but I got to meet a few of MY mentors from my comic collecting days. It was mind blowing to see the original drawings of books I treated as toon bibles! Many of them gave great feedback on my work. That was worth the trip itself. I'll probably be posting the photos I took on my website later in the week. I know I sound like a kid in a candy store, but it was my first BIG convention. I highly recommend going next y

This is actually my BIRTHDAY WEEKEND (yes, unlike other people, my birthday lasts for 3 days!), and I'm enjoying it by doing as little as possible. Down time been scarce lately,  because my work schedule is twice as crowded as it was 3 months ago. I'd like to sleep more, but it's not always convenient. So, the best gift I've gotten this year is the gift of nothing. A free block of time away from all my freelance work and my rigid schedule as a college professor. This will be the most time I've spent at home doing nothing in almost a year! Yea, ME!
