cow & buffalo

because i am on it. :)

i mentioned my awesome table neighbors, jimmy aquino and joe gonzalez, in my con report yesterday. they did a little interview with me on day three which you can listen to HERE. jen snapped the above picture while we “chatted.”

HIGHLIGHTS:

• About 4:30 in j&j talk about first meeting us and prove how nice they are at the same time.
• Around 35:00 is my interview (i always have a hard time listening to me during these but this one came out pretty good).
• and toward the end, at about 1:35:30, they give their thoughts on c&b’s two books as well as my wacky food preferences.
• right afterwards they talk about how my friend joey’s mini was one of their faves from the con too. this is also cool!

listening to the whole show brought me back to how great a time we all had. jimmy and joe- you guys are WAAAY too nice!

so after only my first time attending, i’ve already decided that heroes con is my favorite comic show. make sure you check out jen’s awesome flickr set HERE and read my brief summary of the awesome weekend under the cut.

this weekend is the annual heroes convention in charlotte, nc. cow, buffalo, jen and i will all be there at indy island at table 520. i’ve never been to this show before, but from what i’ve heard it is THE place to be (if you think comics are cool and it happens to be between the dates of june 19-21, 2009). and from looking at the list of creators that are going to be there, i’m really excited. it’s shows like this i almost don’t want to be sitting behind a table and to be walking around instead. hopefully i’ll still get a chance to do some of that.

as some of you may or may not have known, yesterday was my birthday. my thirtieth birthday to be exact, and i found this waiting in my inbox from my good friend stephen mccraine when i checked my email last night:

how awesome is that! probably one of the nicest looking utility udders i’ve ever seen. and definitely one of the nicest birthday presents i’ve ever received. thanks, stephen!

jen posted a few pictures from the FX show last weekend on to her flickr account. probably more exciting than that though is that she also uploaded some cat pics into the gallery too. click HERE to see them.

i’ll be at fx international this weekend in orlando, fl. this’ll be my first time attending the show so i’m not really sure what to expect, but from the looks of it, its going to be one really awesome con.

you’ll be able to find me at booth #24 in creator’s alley surrounded by books, prints, stickers, buttons and all sorts of goodies. if you’re planning on being there, make sure to come by and say hi!

for any super smash bros. fans out there, i recently drew a seven page comic that is featured on the popular video game comic site, life meter, this week. its a story called “true love brawls.”

it features my two favorite characters from the game (and pretty much all of the nintendo universe), kirby and link. you can read the full comic HERE!

*for anyone unfamiliar with the game and possibly a bit confused about the comic’s ending, this info might lend some clarification.

megacon was not only a blast as usual, but my most financially successful con ever! which was great since jen and i really needed that right now. super thanks to everyone that stopped by cow & buffalo land and bought some stuff. jen’s posted her pictures of the festivities up HERE on flickr.

on saturday, against my better judgment, i participated in a webcomics panel. you can listen to it HERE on the gigcast.

i’m pretty quiet up till about a half hour in- at which point I don’t shut up. i also don’t tend to say anything very enlightening or articulate (or even related to the questions) but some of the other more talented creators (and girl) are able to bounce off my nervous ranting to say some good things. why i was even up there in the first place is still beyond me.

there’s an interview with me up on newsarama today in which i talk about cow & buffalo, their new book and the various other comic projects i have going on. you can read it HERE.

also, a reminder that i will be at the orlando megacon this weekend at table white 7. hope to see you there!

its true! and its totally awesome. check out the press release below:
