Bits and Pieces...

I'm at work so I'll make this short. As usual.

I went back home to Toronto for my nephew's first birthday last weekend. I haven't been home in about two years so I was about overdue. I have to tell you, I really could feel a kind of culture shock when experiencing the attitudes of people back home compared to people down here. I can't quite put it into words why. I don't think I can classify it as a north vs south thing although I think that's a big component. I don't know. I'll have to think about it and talk about it later.

Maybe I'm just homesick.

Anyway, the family is great and they're doing well. My brother's about to graduate from college soon and my dad's about to retire. Life moves on. It's hard to realize the reality of that when you live so far away.

I was able to spend a day at the Toronto Comicon while I was home. It's not a big con by any means, but they had some good people there. Primarily, I was happy I got to spend time with Mike Oeming, Ivan Brandon, and pals and was also to meet my buddy Michael Cho for the first time. It was cool to see Darywn Cooke, Cameron Stewart, and the other Toronto regulars as well. The party after the show was pretty neat but I unfortunately wasn't able to drink as I had to drive later. I need to get the shirt Oeming was wearing though 'cause he got hit on about four or five times while I was there. haha

Here's the piece of art I'm posting today. I started it during the con and finished it yesterday. It's a pin-up for Scott Wegener's comic, Atomic Robo.



I'm still working on Wager pages so that's taking a lot of my drawing time. I'm just so damn slow!

Talk to you guys later.
