For this edition of people are awesome I had to make a video blog! Yes! I am doing rambly video blogs again. The video cuts out at 9 minutes because that’s when my iPad says ENOUGH YOU SHALL SPEAK NO MORE.

Things mentioned in this blog include:

• Wiscon
• Julia Rios
• Bunson Hoppydew
• The Big O
• An anthology I’m in that’s being launched at San Diego Comicon
• San Diego Comicon
• Launchpad
• Clarion Write-a-thon

PS. I updated my things comic today as well, so posting here feels like it’s stealing my thunder! But its a sharing kinda day. Things with Owies!

I’m in the middle of the Clarion Write-a-thon! Strange but true. People are awesome, part two is inspired by big big love to my latest sponsors, Robert Crais and Julie Andrews (not the singer). Yaaaay! I’ve made a list full of linkage love to all the awesome people on the right hand side of this very website. If you would like to be on the list of neato, you can check out my writer page and sponsor me :-)

We’re in week three of six now. I’ve not been good at pressing the button (which increases your ‘days written’ button), although I have been creating at a steady clip. I’ve mostly been working on my web comic and I’ve just written a blog post about my lastest endevours over on the Things website.

The most excellent Maggie McFee coloured a comic we made together many years ago. She is awesome. I need to do a whole blog post about the value and significance of the old ozcomics/pulpfaction crew. The cohorts you start with, years and years on, they’re the people I look to and the people that keep me believing in comics when life gets hard (even though I’m not good at staying in touch and mostly lurk or fondly remember).

This comic was inspired by Forgi, a friend I’ve known for much of my life. She told me I had more than one guardian angel, I’m not really a guardian angel kinda person, but at the same time I was really touched by Forgi’s caring… and somewhat shenaniganny words (shenaniganny is a real word, I swear! ;))

Here’s a tiny thumbnail, go check it out on her website.
