I-CON...and I Did

So, I'm recovering from an exciting time in Des Moines over the weekend. Wait, let me make sure I just said what I think I said. Excitement...in Des Moines? Yep, that's right. The something-something annual I-CON comic convention was Saturday and it was a blast. Much bigger than the Slash & Bash film fest a few weeks ago, and I met a lot of great people. Thanks a lot for those of you who came out to visit, and to those of you who are visiting this blog for the first time after having met me at the Con.

Unfortunately my phone died shortly after I arrived, so I wasn't able to really take any pictures--wait, let me make sure...Phone...pictures...yep, that's right.

But some of the guys I met there--including Dale Martin, Mike Sullivan, and Bill Hook (actually Bill and I met at S&B weeks before, and he's the reason I even knew about I-CON at all) were taking several pics and I believe we were all thwipping together in one of them. Don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds.

But if you want to see some great pictures from the event, head over to the gallery on Des Moines's Metromix site. Not to toot my own horn, but--out of twenty-nine pictures total I have two of them. (Three if you count the back of my shirt.) The gallery features 5 creators that were at the event (out of at least a dozen or more), and I'm one of 'em! I guess it helps to be dressed in an obnoxious color.

Don't know what's next on the agenda, other than continuing to work on Issue 5...available soon. But I hope to see you all at the next Con, wherever that might be!

Don't Forget About Des Moines!

Just a reminder to you one or two readers out there...I'm going to be at the I-Con comic book convention in Des Moines this Saturday from 9am to 5pm.

You know who else will be there? Darth Vader. That's right. And Spider-man. And Batman. And Clark Kent (but no Superman for some reason...)

Also there will be a bunch of other comic book creators there, and even animators and designers. Important people!

So bring $5 and a copy of Yellow for me to sign, and head up to the Adventureland Inn for the festivities. Or just send your best wishes. Those will be helpful, too.

(By the way, the $5 is for admission--not my signature. Although now that you mention it...)
