I have had Ukuleles on my brain for a few weeks now. I will be building a few soon and I've been sketching and thinking for quite some time. When I visited the library a few weeks ago with a few guitars I had a few parents ask if I had a 'How To' for cigar box guitars much like the Ghostbusters Proton Pack Tutorial I posted. I do not have one at the time, but I am considering doing so once things slow down. For now I will just leave you wiht a page from my small sketchbook. Enjoy.

My blog is moving!!

Yes, after many years of faithful blogger blogging, I have moved my blog to my brand new website.

Please drop by and follow my RSS feed if you haven't already. Thank you for reading my blog and I look forward to many years of blogging at my new site. I also have created a blog specifically for weekly sketches and art. By visiting that blog, you get to see a drawing once, twice or maybe more every week! That's right. NEW and IMPROVED.

Big Apple Convention 2009

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth especially those who took the plunge and picked up books, paintings or commissioned sketches. I had a great time with my booth mates as well as friends who came by the booth or strolled around with me. I had a few highlights and I'll throw them out in no particular order.

• Playing the new Super Mario Wii Game (this will be fantastic when it comes out. Hope there's online play.
• Selling a bunch of Rob Bot books
• Selling a bunch of Catching Lucifer Lunch books
• Meeting the folks from Digital Pimps.com ( great neighbors )
  
• Sharing a booth with Joe Caramagna and Dennis Budd
• Getting a bunch of free schwag (especially the DS SD card reader)
• Seeing Time Square all lit up
• Being approached by another toy company
• Having people ask my page rate ( maybe I'll get some work )

That is about all from the Big Apple. I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Sounds like I'll be sharing a table at New York Comic Con next year. I was very surprised that Wizard decided to go head to head with it. I'm interested to see what happens and what kind of strings will be pulled. Thank you all!

Currently, my next convention will be the New England Small Press show on July 18th at the Crown Plaza in Warwick RI. I'd also like to squeeze in a Boston show.
