Master of my domain

I am super excited this week, because I finally managed to snag a domain name I've been trying to get my hands on for ages for a secret project. I don't know how many of you have experienced a similar victory, but if you haven't, trust me... it is a satisfying feeling. Now, if only I could get "ninjamafia.com"!

As a little experiment, I'll be doing an appearance here in Vancouver at BCIT's "Tech Days", which occur on September 10th and 11th in the Student Union Building. I have absolutely no idea how this will go! But I've wanted to try a school event like this for awhile, and the folks who help run it convinced me to give this one a shot. Perhaps I will meet a few new readers, and/or make some new ones. We will see soon enough!

Fan Expo'd

Thanks to everyone for a great Fan Expo! It was wonderful to see so many new folks at the booth. But it was also great to see so many familiar faces from last year! You guys are all the best. ALL OF YOU.

We had a really awesome booth this year! It was a little tight on the inside, but it was triple-sided, which gave both Alina and I a ton of room to draw! (And also to advertise our ability to do so.) And as a result, I wound up doing more convention commissions than I usually do. It was great! I had a ton of fun drawing all the different, occasionally super-weird ideas people came up with. I posted photos of a few of them to my tumblr, if you'd like to see them.

I think I'm going to try to alot more space in my future convention booths to at-the-booth commission drawing. It's definitely something I enjoy... and it seemed to be something attendees were really into as well. I think in the past, my table has been so covered with all my other stuff that most folks don't even realize I do commissions at all. Having the space to make a clearly defined drawings area and display a few sample pieces made a huge difference!

Fan Expo Toronto

Alina and I are knee-deep in Toronto's Fan Expo over here! Are you at the show, too? Come find us at booth 440 and say hello.

Anyhow, that's all for today... lots of work to do! Our next comic arrives on Monday. See you then!
