Hello, fine people. I'm about to enter Supremely Busy Mode, and I doubt I will be able to post much, if at all, before the San Diego Comic-Con (July 26-29). I will try to peek in and read comments, but you'll have to excuse the silence on my end. I WILL RETURN SOON!

Meanwhile, before I go into hiding, I'd like to point you to a couple of places of interest. First, I think you ought to bookmark my Other Blog, if you haven't already. If I'm going to update any of my various websites--that's usually the first one to get my attention. In fact, if you check it out now, there's some new interesting stuff to look at. I just finished redoing my art portfolios and the blog has handy links along the right side. Check 'em out! It's been too long since I updated the old version.

Next, I would like to remind everyone that my new book, BATTLE OF THE BANDS, is NOW ON SALE. I encourage you to seek it out. I think that fans of this website are among my "target audience!" It is published by TOKYOPOP and you should be able to find it at comic book stores that carry manga, as well as at Barnes & Noble and Borders bookstores. AND, if you visit my Other Blog (above), you'll find some easy-to-follow links to purchase the book at Amazon.com.

THANKS!

Well, not much else to report right now. I'm getting excited about Comic-Con. I hope I get to meet some of you there! Let me know if you're planning to attend!

Later!
