My new poster/banner for conventions & appearances, I had it made at Kinko’s in Elk Grove, CA and they did a terrific job (it even folds into itself for travel, and comes with a shoulder bag to carry it in)!

Just wanted to catch you up on what I have been up too! “Thom Cat” and “The Infinite Goliath” continue to pull in new fans at each festival they appear in (they were both shown with a great reception at the San Francisco Bay Area International Children’s Film Festival on Sunday March 1st at 1pm, and I was able to talk about the cartoons after the screening…thank you Dan Bennett for putting together such a wonderful show!) and hopefully that will help lead to a series at some point (I hope!!)! I had a great time at Wondercon this past weekend, and as the Artist-in-Residence at the Charles Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, CA on Feb 14 2009 where I was able to do sketches of “Thom” and “Goliath” for the museum guests and show the cartoons on a large screen tv (one of my favorite museums, you must go if you have a chance)! I heavily promoted my new webcomic, “Clumsy Love,” which is updated every Mon-Wed-Fri at www.clumsylove.net, including giving out over 500 bookmarks to Wondercon guests! And I was able to premiere my toy prototype of “Space Pussy!” Please let me know what you think of any and all that I have listed here, and if you did catch the cartoons at any show recently please write in with your comments (especially if it is to demand that they become a series…haha!)!
