Facebook is a really great resource for keeping in touch with family and friends… unless you let it get out of control. I originally started my Facebook page with the intention of having it a combination of personal and professional “friends”, so I never refused a friends request. Almost 2,500 friends later, it was starting to really become a headache. I was getting wall posts from people asking me to critique their work, was constantly being tagged in “photos” of people’s art so I would go there and take a look at it, I was tagged in notes that I had nothing to do with… READ MORE

I wish I had some pictures of the panel but unfortunately I do not. Tom Racine… READ MORE

I did a little of that, but mainly stuck by both the DC booth for my signing and the National Cartoonists Society booth where I did caricatures and had some MAD originals for sale. The NCS booth is located at booth spaces 1307 and 1309: The NCS booth is pretty well done, IMO. Nice location, too.

Yep. It’s not too often I take any real time off during the summer, but The Lovely Anna and I are taking our recently graduated and off to college daughter The Dramatic Victoria to the Caribbean island of St. Martin/St. Marteen for a week as her graduation present. Believe it or not, a little one on two time with just us is what she wanted for graduation (well, the Mini Cooper was out of the question so this is choice number two) so we are off today. As always, thorough the magic of post-dated blogging and hopefully a decent wifi connection at our condo The… READ MORE
