So, it's been a pretty crazy couple of weeks. After going down to the Calgary Comic Expo at the end of April, and meeting up with Jennie Breeden, we found ourselves being invited to the Emerald City Comic Convention in Seattle! After a whirlwind week of planning, we rented a car, drove to Chiliwack on Friday, and then did the rest of the drive on ( Read more... )

Well, classes are done, assignments are handed in, marking and teaching are finished. I can finally concentrate on experimental work, and it feels SOOOO good. And, added bonus: no more coursework EVER. I'm DONE ( Read more... )

I hate this time of year. Classes end this week, so I've got to get my grant proposal for Dr. Nargang finished ASAP, and at the same time, it looks like Marty is going to assign us something for HIS section as well.

So, I was intending to post something here after my trip to Washington state, but that didn't happen, for whatever reason.

I didn't have anything to ( Read more... )

Alina has been REALLY busy lately with her book... she's trying to get it done in time to have it printed for the convention. Have I mentioned the book before? I don't think so. Basically, we're taking the first 100 strips of Weregeek and putting together a collected volume. It's not going to be big, as far as trade paperbacks go (only 54 pages ( Read more... )

So, recent news:

Alina and I are going to the Calgary Comic Expo in late April. This is the first REAL major comic convention Western Canada has ever had... we're talking projected attendance of around 10,000 this year, with guests like Kevin Sorbo (Hercules!), George Takei, Bill Willingham, Jennie Breeden, Ed the Sock and many others. We have a ( Read more... )

I'm all annoyed at work because one of my coworkers left half of her chores from last week undone, and now I'm going to have a TON of things to do on MY week. Very very displeasing ( Read more... )
