Quick post: Tim Gunn from Project Runway is donning the Iron Man suit on the 26th.  Also, Hellcat's in it.  <3  I must pick this up.

Sidenote: The new penciller and inker for Deadpool?  TERRIBLE.  The writing is still fun, but UGH, the proportions are so out-of-whack and the inks are so over-hatched that it makes me sad.

Lots of things happening, and I haven't been posting.  Here's a rundown:

Otakon was good all-around - made more money than last year, had fantastic help (thanks Julia and Mike), Mike made a hilarious Barry, I got to see a lot of webcomic folk again, got together with other friends, panel went well (despite the smartass in the Lucario outfit that ( Read more... )

I was preparing to work this morning when the fire alarm went off in the building.  Smelled nothing burning and didn't hear the sound of rushing water, but I figured it would be best to get out.  I called the non-emergency number for the fire department.  They got there within five minutes (they're good).  I stood outside talking with one of my ( Read more... )

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be ( Read more... )

Got the pieces for my Cooking Mama cosplay yesterday.  I'll probably carry around my DS and a cheap spatula with it.  The aprons have nice deep pockets that I can seal with Velcro.  As you can see in the picture below, Mama's hair is pretty short.  Would do the hair, but I'd rather not wear a wig.  Maybe I can curl my hair up a little bit, but my ( Read more... )

I was wondering if this would ever happen, and I'm very amused and pleased.

I'm currently working on a new Earthbound piece, since my original is beginning to show its age.  Last year, I did a piece of fanart of Mother 3.

Starmen.net is a fangathering of Mother & Earthbound fans on the Internet.  Sometimes they show some of the memorabilia and stuff ( Read more... )

When I work on comic stuff, I listen to NPR (like a dork), watch Conan and Colbert, and sometimes Japanese shows (Gaki no Tsukai is one of my faves - I'm a sucker for manzai teams).  One of my favorite things to watch every now and again is Penn & Teller: Bullshit!.  While I don't agree with what they have to say all of the time, and while Penn ( Read more... )

I sent out the payment for Otakon on June 5th, with confirmation and Priority shipment and everything.  I got a tracking number on it, so I've been tracking its progress.  It should've been there by now, but here's the adventures so far (and this pretty much copy-pasted):

Your item was processed through and left our ZIP Code 20199 facility on June ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm well aware how much of a butthole I look like when I nerd rage (let's face it, all nerd rage is stupid), but Activision can suck it.  They're apparently suing Double Fine Productions over Brutal Legend.  Then again, Activision tried to pull this crap with the developers behind Scratch so that DJ Hero could come out before it, and that got ( Read more... )

Interesting:
- Brutal Legend.  Seriously can't wait for this.  Tim Schafer is love.
- Secret of Monkey Island.  THAT'S RIGHT.  SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND IS BACK.  I cannot contain the excitement that I have for this, though I'm hoping that if this does well, other classic Schafer games like Grim Fandango and Full Throttle will come back.
- Lots of ( Read more... )
