Long time no blog!
Boy, I really do feel like I’ve been running myself pretty ragged lately. Between my job, the comic, and all sorts of things going on in-between, both good and bad, I feel like I haven’t really had any spare time to do a lot that isn’t basic updates. I sat down and sketched a little for the first time in a while the other day, and it felt pretty great! I really have to start refocusing.
I realized I never really took the chance to say anything about SPX! Anyway, it was a great show, and I had a really fantastic time running around and being totally up to my neck in comics. I got to talk to some creators I really admire, and I picked up some really fantastic work! I was really excited to get the book collections of Rice Boy and the first volume of Order of Tales, which was especially exciting because I had no idea Evan Dahm was going to be at the show. I also got to pick up the one Finder book I was missing from Carla Speed McNeil and ohhh my gosh, an original page from her book Dream Sequence! I’m so psyched, but at the same time as I left the show I was kind of kicking myself for not looking harder for a page from my favorite book of hers, Talisman!
I picked up a copy of Life Meter 3 at the show too, where my friend Jon Griffiths and I had some short video game comics. It was really flattering to be in a book with a million other super-talented comics artists, and the whole book looks fantastic! (I did a two page Final Fantasy 7 comic, if you’re wondering) Whenever the book goes for sale online I’m going to post a link!
Otherwise, lately I’ve just been busy busy busy and either reading The Art of Osamu Tezuka or playing Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. I hate Organization XIII, but I love multiplayer!
I’m hoping to do some tidying up on the site soon, but I have a couple of other little things I want to work on first. Expect more coming soon, though! :) I missed Halloween for a special picture, but I’m sure not gonna miss Christmas!

I LOVE that game (mostly cause I’ve never had the chance to play any of the other Kingdom Hearts games. I don’t have the right system.)! I like the main trio of Roxas, Xion, and Axel, even though I don’t really care for the rest of the organization. Riku is awesome in multiplayer.

Oh no, I’m sorry you didn’t get to play the first ones, but I’m glad you got to pick this one up! It gives a pretty good impression of them I think, especially since it kind of happens during both games. I’m sure you have an idea of what happens, though! (Also YES, the rest of the organization can pretty much just leave. I really can’t stand any of them, but I’ve always liked Axel!) Ans RIKU my love ;A;)/ he’s my favorite character. I just unlocked him as a playable so I’m happy!

I actually read the manga for the games, so I have a resonable idea of what goes on (by the way, I don’t suggest you read it. It’s not very good). If you jusst unlocked Riku, that probably means we’re about the same place in the game :D . I LOVE playing Riku, ’cause he totally kicks butt! Too bad his sword doesn’t change with different gear though :(
