I thought I’d put a spotlight my upcoming shows and signings in this entry. Right around the corner is the Boston Comic Con on April 10-11 at a new venue and a cast of thousands where I will debut the new Inkwell Awards brochure and 2010 Donation Book and my family will spend the Sunday […]
I’ve had two Inkwell Awards banners for a couple of years now but after over eighteen years in the industry I finally got around to getting my own vertical banner. My bud and fellow committee Inkwell Awards member Jimmy Tournas took some image files of mine and designed the two shown below. The Marvin and […]
I’ve been sitting on this one for agonizing months and today the announcement was made here at the Wizard Entertainment site. Inkwell comittee member Jimmy Tournas set this event in motion and much manly love goes out to him for that as well as Gareb Shamus, Peter Katz and April Wiggins, all of Wizard, for […]

Eventually I was able to ween off of the savvy tech guys and […]
I have updated another section to this revised site, the Convention Photos page. You can check out the summaries and pics from the last three events I attended, the Pittsburgh Comicon, the New England Comic Con, and the Boston Comic Con.
An ever-growing show in my back yard, this Boston Comic Con was the final one at the original venue and I have attended every scheduled one except one if memory serves. I did ok but the Inkwell Awards did much better and we collected some really great donations for our fundraising that weekend. Amy Fletcher […]
