I’ve been reading through A Feast for Crows very slowly. I’m pretty sure it’s because this guy is noticeably absent.

Meathaus, my favorite art blog, is reppin’ some of my new stuff.
Has Anyone Ever Told You That You Look Like Buddy Holly? is my new sketch zine. My printer is all busted up so it’s an extremely limited run, currently. Once that’s fixed it’ll be available to order at the store.
In the meantime, I highly recommend any of the Go For the Gold books that Meathaus publishes. They are all chock full of awesomeness, featuring Brandon Graham, Jonny Negron, Pendleton Ward, HARVEYJAMES, James Jean, and others, including Chris McD, who throws it all together.
Also, have you heard that there is a kickstarter for Very Near Mint Vol. 2? It’s true that the goal has already been hit, but anything you can contribute will still help greatly. Plus, you’re probably going to get the book early. Boo yeah.
New prints now available in the Adventuring Company store!

TWEETAR AVATARZ
Well, I turned my pockets inside out and I got nothin’. Checked my fridge and that’s empty too. So I’m taking a chip off the ol’ block (that’s what I call Justin Peterson) and opening up my schedule to make some Twitter avatars.
Here’s how it’s going down:
1. Order avatar from the Adventuring Company store ($45).
2. Email me (lee@adventuringcompany.com) a photo of the person you’d like depicted in the avatar, and any other specifcations (i.e. bunny costume, three noses, etc).
3. Wait patiently for a few days. Think about how you upgraded me from beans and rice to beans and YELLOW rice (I love yellow rice; you could say I’m “mad about safron”.)
4. Receive avatar and hi-res files for printing!
Next week I will open commissions, so if there’s anything you’ve ever wanted drawn by yours truly, the time to make the request is right around the corner! And yes, I will pretty much draw anything.
Hangin out with the pizzawolf, who,s puttin’ me and Peterson up for the next couple days. Word.#271 HURRRR

Two new prints available at APE this weekend!
We’ll have these as well as two other new prints from Justin Peterson, plus our budding comic library.
Come visit us at table 635!
Man, it has been quite the week over here at the Adventuring Company camp! Justin and I made the drive up to Bethesda, MD for the Small Press Expo at the end of last week, which was a real blast! Our neighbors at the expo were quite friendly, especially Karl Stevens. Over the weekend, I’ve been reading his 2004 Xeric award winning book Guilty, which pretty much owns cross-hatching and has a cast of characters that feel a lot like some of my friends.
We also got to hang out with our old convention pals Tara and Paul Abbamondi. Tara graced our table with copies of her new miniA Boy and His Genius, which were depleted by the end of day one. Meals were eaten and jokes were told. Camaraderie was reestablished. What else can you ask for? The same thing to happen again in Florida next year at Megacon? Well, that’s what a little bird told me, anyway…
SPX was also a time for meeting old Internet friends in REAL LIFE for the FIRST TIME, Joe Hunter and Jamie Baldwin! Both were participants in Super Art Fight, which was a whole lot of fun to watch.
So after a couple of days of R&R in Washington D.C., we finally made the trek back down to Florida to assess our depleted inventory and do some free drawings at Geek Night in the FSU Union ballrooms. Turnout was very modest in comparison to years before, but all that means is that we actually got to have conversations with the people we were sketching for!
Now we’re gearing up for APE at the beginning of next month. Looking forward to seeing some old pals out in San Francisco!
Yeah!
SPX 2011 Recap!
Well, Small Press Expo 2011 has come and gone. Lee & I drove to DC (from Tallahassee!) and back over the past week… lots and lots of driving! But totally worth it.
The convention was awesome, tons of fantastically talented people milling about. I highly recommend the convention to anyone and everyone.
We met up with our friends Paul and Tara, and finally met our long time internet friend Joe Hunter. Tara put together a sweet little recap comic… check it out!
(Click it for a bigger version!)
Also, Tuesday, I turned 30. Lee, my wonderful girlfriend Erin and I took in the sights of Washington DC and ate some awesome pizza at Matchbox (check it out if you’re ever in the area)… so, all in all? A pretty rad week.
Up next: Florida State University’s GEEK NIGHT tomorrow night, Friday, September 16th, and then the final convention of the year for Adventuring Company, APE out in San Francisco, October 1st & 2nd. We’re gonna have some brand new, never before seen comics for sale! More on that shortly.
