During Closing Ceremonies, Alysha and I ended up being nose-to-nose in a round of Anime Let's Make a Deal.  She got chosen as the winner and went up on stage... and her choices of doors were one I don't recall and... 8-Bit Door Phil, the one we were asked to draw up in the style of Legend of Zelda 2.  We did a really nice job, pulling out a ruler to make everything perfectly square and pixelated, and I colored it really nicely.  Then we got there and I remembered all we needed was it in black and visible from 30 feet away.  She won a Mario mushroom plush (which she kept,) an airfreshener (she gave to my fiance Michael,) a Nintendo shirt that had a gang sign on it (for her Jesse,) and I got to have a keychain.  

We both had a lot of fun and met a lot of really cool people.

JAFAX Day One

My friend Alysha and I had a table today at JAFAX.  I had badge-making materials (thanks Gail!) but no pictures I'd consider using for badges, so Alysha whipped some out this week and they were amazing.

I met Jeff Marriote and got to hear him give advice on entering and working in the comic industry.

One of the writers in the panel met me after to see if I maybe wanted to work on his comic.

A man who runs Pagan Edge magazine suggested featuring my art.

We sold enough today to cover the cost of the table.

Overall, a really cool day.

We are in the building with the yellow statue, I think Mackinaw.  Please come visit our table.  We have badges, bookmarks, prints, and stickers.  We also do commissions.
