In Memory

I just found out a good friend of mine was killed in a car accident last night. She was a lovely lady and always showed interest in my comics even though she wasn't into comics herself.

We worked together on the Diversity Team here at work trying to make it a comfortable workplace for all. She was a very interesting woman who had lived an interesting life and I truly wish I could have had more time to just sit and chat with her over coffee. Those long chats that lets your life unravel for someone to see.

We'll miss you, Alice Phillips, and your ready smile and witty personality.

Doncha Know?

Well, friends. It appears that I'm going to be making it out to MCBNA FallCon for October 10th and 11th and my good friend and business partner, Anthony Hary, is going to allow me to sit next to him and be seen with him.

This is UBER exciting because I have never been a guest at an Artist Alley and from what I understand, there are a few big names that are going to be there. I'm going to feel like the freshman kid in High School that get's to practice with the Varsity squad. A boy among men. A tadpole among large mouth bass. Not that I'm calling any of them large mouthed. :)

I'm all warm and fuzzy inside. :)

WILD & WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY #2

Wild & Wonderful Wednesday #2
07.01.09

Here are some highlights in this week of comics:

BATMAN AND ROBIN #2
– much anticipated issue by the incomparable team of Morrison and Quietly. Definitely worth checking out.

GREEN LANTERN CORPS #38 – If you don’t already follow GLC, you NEED to!

CAPTAIN AMERICA REBORN #1 – A very interesting book, NEED to look at this book to see what it is all about.

SOULFIRE #10 – The grand climax. Pick it up. Its been an awesome ride. Fun to see Turner’s vision complete.



The Motion of Pictures

New out this week in movies: Public Enemies Staring: Captain Jack Sparrow, Batman, and Mr. Manhattan in a crime thriller following the chaotic story of John Dillinger. Looks Superb.

Also out this week, an ever bigger film: Ice Age 3, If it follow suit with the first two, this should prove to be the best of the three.
