Ah... the sun has returned! The great tundra outside is melting. I am starting to get out of the house and feel human again. I took a couple days off from drawing to get out and enjoy the weather change. We're still at only 36 degrees but coming from where we've been the last four months, it seems like a vacation! It seriously was one of the worst winters I have ever encountered. So I defintely plan on spending time outdoors this year to make up for it. I felt really cooped up inside the house all year. Almost hibernation! Poppy seems to enjoy the sun too! (Above)
Baby James isn't so much a baby anymore. He can climb up on the furniture and hug those he most cares about... in this case, our 14 year old cat, Jake. His surgery a couple weeks ago went well. Its possible he *may* have developed an infection so we'll have to monitor that and see how that goes. But overall, he's really good and the swelling in the affected area is gone.
I am finishing PDFing the Pleasant Life book this weekend and sending it to the printer on Monday. Some have already taken advantage of my huge book sale, where you get all three of my tradebooks (PLEASANT LIFE, ANNA POCALYPSE and my ARTBOOK) for one low price of $50. And you should too! I need to know how many books to order when the time comes, so pre-order the deal now if you want one! Order right

Also don't forget our
TALES OF SEQUENTIAL MAYHEM KICKSTARTER. We're in the home stretch of the thing! Get original art, get drawn in the next issue and more! Last chance!

EMAIL ME SOME QUESTIONS HERE and I will answer them live on the show! YAY!
The wife and I ordered HBO in anticipation for the new season of GAME OF THRONES. So while waiting for the new season to start, I finally am sitting down and watching BAND OF BROTHERS. I quite like it. After that, I will watch TRUE DETECTIVE and THE WIRE and see what all the hub hub is about. Also I got the wife addicted to G.O.T. so we've been re-watching it. I'm picking up little things I missed along the way. The show is so dense that I forget things. Also on TOY HUNTER, they shot in Taylor, MI at a shop that I know quite well. Its weird to see people I know on TV. I saw Dennis, the owner of Wonderworld Comics on the show. and over on CHOPPED, I saw someone from my hometown I used to party a bit with. Weird!
APPEARANCES -- Big news is that I will be returning to
CLEM'S COMICS in Lansing for FREE COMIC BOOK DAY on May 6th. I will have all my prints and books there, as well as doing free sketches for anyone 12 and under. Make plans to come out and see me!
Then I will be at the
CHERRY CAPITAL CON May 23-25th. I've never been there before but they are having me out and I am beyond excited. It looks like a laid back, exotic locale!
I think in the fall I will be doing another show as well. I am not 100% sure where that will be yet. Depends on how the chips fall. I'll let you all know as soon as I make plans.
Lastly, over at the adult webcomics section,
STARSLAM is really heating up. The next couple weeks are going to be jaw dropping moments. Shit hits the fan. Oh yes. If you are over 18, I encourage you to read it. Its not porn comics for the sake of boobs and wee wees. Its actually a good story being told. Please give it a chance and spread it around!
Okay folks, Have a great weekend and I'll see you on the flipside. Keep those book orders coming in! Cheers, T
