I leave for Archon / NASFIC / TuckerCon in about an hour, if I can get it all packed and if it will all fit in the car and leave enough room for my passenger dragonet2. I’m packing lots more stuff this year. Original watercolors to hang in the artshow, prints of them for the print shop, a supply of my older prints for my artist alley table, a supply of bookmarks and magnets to…

I really enjoyed attending Conestoga last weekend. All in all, it was great fun. Didn’t sell much art, but I almost never make a sale at Conestoga. It’s a tough crowd to please. Yard Dog Press officially released “Houston, We’ve Got Bubbas”, the fourth anthology in the Bubbas of the Apocalypse series. My story, “Curious George Vists the Solar J Astroport Diner”, is in there. Go buy your copy today! The con programming was lively,…

Conestoga is this weekend in Tulsa. Here’s my panel schedule: E publishing, no advance houses and small presses Sat 09:00 AM, Salon F.

I keep thinking about writing posts to LJ, but never quite making the time to get them done. Let’s see…. Con season is sneaking up on me. I’ve RSVP’d for space at ConQuesT and Archon/Nasfic. I’ll show a fair number of originals at both of those shows. To that end… I’ve been painting several evenings a week, and at least a half-day on Saturdays and Sundays. I’ve been posting samples on my art blog. Thanks…
