The heat for summer came rushing in, after a very tidy spring. Things around here are chugging along; shows, new products, house stuff, family stuff, it all seemed to coalesce in June.
To kick off summer I headed to Conroe, Texas for the Kimo Kawaii Anime Convention. The show is put together by a friend of mine, and he asked to whip up some special poster art.
And because of my proximity to the owner I had a green light to whip some bootleg t-shirts for the event. Inspired by a father and child I actually saw the first time I did this show, this shirt got a lotta laughs and even more sales. The idea is for next year to have Bobby cosplaying a different character, making each year collectable.
Here are some new bookmarks I’m giving away with sales. My wife has been suggesting I make bookmarks for years, but it didn’t occur to me until I looked at the latest book, coming in at 128 pages, and realized a bookmark would be downright useful for reading MY comics.
Of course, the Skessions full wall happened.

I don’t do Comicpalooza anymore, it’s too expensive and the artists seem to get treated like an afterthought. So when Comicpalooza weekend came around, my wife and I were painting the living room. No big deal, although I noticed that Marc Silvestri was gonna be there I do have a book I’d like to get signed. But I made my peace that it’s not worth a ticket. Well, Sunday rolled around and after my little sister got her pics with Hayden Christensen & Alan Tudyk, she bounced and offered me her pass to see if I can snag that autograph. So, right away, in my painter clothes and house shoes and bolted out the door, snagged her badge, parked, and made my way into the show. Popping in for a few minutes I surprisingly ran into a lotta people I know, and I stopped in on my HCS peeps in attendance, while I waited for Marc to come back from a panel.
So that’s what’s new, just trying to stay dry out here.
It’s been a rainy summer so far. Some days it sprinkles, others it downpours. Either way, if its gets a little overcast with a sprinkle of thunder Nola is not gonna come out for a while.
This just in…Dallas, in August I’m coming to you!
That’s it for now! New projects are always in the works, so stay tuned for updates. Follow my Insta for story updates blah blah blah. Until next time!
