I found this last night and posted a tweet and facebook about it. A friend replied that he was hoping it was early and intricate April Fool’s joke. I surely hope so. I don’t know if I could handle this.
Some people have too much time on their hands. And sometimes them do great things with it. This is especially impressive if you’ve ever seen boarder collies working sheep in person. Very funny.
I attended the first (annual?) New England Webcomics Weekend Saturday. I had a great time. I haven’t been to any of the big comic cons yet so it’s all new to me. It was a blast meeting people who’s work I have admired and meeting people and seeing work I didn’t know. I had a chance to have some nice discussions with Jorge Cham of Piled Higher & Deeper, Danielle Cosretto of Girls with Slingshots (I liked her original artwork and she liked my card and handshake), Rene Engstrom of Anders loves Maria (very nice watercolor work), Spike of Templar, Arizona (great brush work), Randy Milholland of Something Positive (got a sketch), Chris Hallbeck of The Book of Biff, Jeff Zugale of Just A Bit Off, and the “Gang of Four”, Brad Guigar of Evil Inc., Dave Kellett of Sheldon, Scott Kurtz of PvP, and Kris Straub of Starslip. (Namedropping section closed)
I met and talked with more but it’s all blending together in my memory (and I didn’t take any notes). I’m jazzed and refreshed about doing my comic and want to be on the other side of the table next year. Guess I better finish my first book and figure out a way to advertise more.
