hehe.

I’ve been meaning to tell you! I got the job! We were able to come to a good place for my offer, I signed it and faxed it over, did the silly drug test thing and gave my two weeks notice… a week ago!

So, a week from Monday, I start my new job at Sony!!

Ok, so it’s kinda like my old job there(when they were Sonic Foundry), when I was an intern… only now, with lots more leadership and ideas and excitement.

I’ll be working on a site I helped create!

anyways, thanks for all your support. I’m very thrilled, this all feels very much like a dream.

Anime Central 07 was a great time. We were in the big part of the Rosemont convention center, the same one that Wizard World usually occupies. Aside from crazy issues with registration, things went fairly well. We didn't see much of the convention, but we rarely ever do. This was the year of the awesome banners. A lot of people took a lot of time and money to make their artist alley tables really stand out, which was great! It was also really fun to have a table next to and across from Brian from http://www.deftoons.com .

Tasty Cuisine was had, lots of artists and folks came out for that, Meredith sent around her little moleskine, and we all sketched quick self-portraits(thanks to 's suggestion.) I hope she scans them in, they were fun little sketchies.

There was no official art-jam, but that didn't stop some of us from art-jamming anyway, on tables stolen from the gaming overflow room(2 nights in a row). Dirk worked on commissions, Meredith drew emo elfbois, Kevin posed for a Tabloid Roulette panels and roamed the halls to find more artists to pull in for the fun.

We gave away all the Code:Creamy Weather Electronica Eraser samplers we printed up, and were throwing in with every purchase.

We sold all the Temping for Evil mini's we printed for the convention (currently running at http://byob.studioantithesis.com).
We also sold our 100th copy of BYOB! It's a major milestone! I had confetti!

Exhausting as usual, but satisfying. I'm excited about all the comics the studio will have finished by the end of the year.

Off to Anime Central

Off to Anime Central

Last weekend about half of Studio Anti Thesis climbed into the +4 Van of Intimidation, and drove over to see Scott McCloud over at Neptune Comics in Waukesha Wi.

Look how excited the Smuga's are to see Scott McCloud!

Aaaand… the Smuga's… about 5 min later…

After a little nap we all arrived at Neptune Comics!

It was great to hear Scott Talk. I took notes in my molekine, including some little sketches of Scott while he was talking. He makes lots of hand gestures to illustrate his points, so it was fun to try to capture that. I'll try to scan a little of that in sometime.

We gave him some of our comics in one of our press packets, he said that he really liked the emotion of the body positions in Of 2 Minds. I hope he and his lovely family enjoyed our comics, we really enjoyed hearing him talk and meeting with them, however briefly.

they called my references, they sent an offer over.

the offer was not what I was expecting.

so… on to negotiations. left a voice mail asking for clarification.

the game continues next week.

I'd really love to share more details with you all, but… until I actually get something I'm willing to sign…
