noctem

I'm back from Comic Con and I'm completely exhausted. It's been a long week/weekend. I'm going to keep this short and not really get into a lot of details so here we go:

I went to a bunch of companies again and tried to get a job. Dropped off my samples at DC and Marvel and had to come back the next day to see if I made it onto the list of people they wanted to talk to after reviewing our work. Didn't make it on the DC list, but I still had an unofficial review there anyway since I had previously met with DC's art director and I tracked him down. I did, to my surprise make it onto Marvel's list. It went well and the editor there gave me a lot of motivation and I now have a new game plan. A few other places might work into something, but I'm not holding my breath.

Danny Bonaduce walked in front of my car while I waited at a stop sign and shortly after that, when I got inside the con, Stan Lee walked right by me. That was pretty cool. I met Vanessa at the TokyoPop booth and gave her the original of this piece

She's incredibly sweet and is even more stunning in person.

Saturday night my girlfriend and I met up with OctEgon and a few of his friends and got a bit tipsy. Had a blast though and look forward to doing it again sometime. Went back to the con this afternoon for a few hours, dropped off another sample packet for Lucas Licensing and met up with d_day. We wandered the floor for a few hours and I headed out. So that's it. Oh, and I bought a kilt. That shit is awesome. It's actually more of a man-skirt than a real kilt, but who cares? It's black, and I don't like plaid.

Here's the new shit I took with me:

(This is a 2 page spread so right click, view image blah blah blah. Also, I had to piece 4 parts together and there's a line up the center and a shadow across the middle, but I'm tired and I don't care.)
