Recovering from Success

Well, NYCC could not have gone any better (unless maybe a publisher picked us up right there in Artist Alley).  It exceeded my expectations though.  Between selling books (selling out of some!), doing sketches, and obsessively checking my 3DS for Streetpass hits, I was barely able to leave my table.  (Thank goodness for Exhibitor Passes and early entry.  I might never have played the Wii U otherwise.)  So thanks to everybody who made it out there, especially fellow dA denizens ZeroForever and ThemeGuy for keeping me busy over the long weekend.  And a very special thanks to all the people who wished me a Happy Birthday.  As cool as it sounds to spend your birthday at a comic con, in New York no less, it was still a business trip.  The con leaves us too wiped out to go out and party.  Also, most of my friends and family are in Massachusetts.  So having that kind of outpouring from people who enjoy my art enough to actually care about my birthday really meant a lot to me.

So I'm trying to unwind after all that, but also trying not to unwind too much.  I've got a big commission from ZeroForever that I'm coloring.  Then I've got an Underburbs release party at New England Comics in Harvard Square this weekend.  After that, I'm off to the Rhode Island Comic Con, where hopefully I'll sell more books and do more sketches.

Oh, and if you're wondering exactly what it is I do at these comic cons or what the heck an "underburb" is, I suggest you click on this guy right here

Also, The Wonderful 101 is freakin' amazing.
