My signing on 4/12 at That's Entertainment in Worcestor, MA
went to well (bottom of page) that I was asked to sign at the
Fitchberg, MA store for FCBD, which I haden't been a guest
for in a couple of years. I had an enjoyable time during
those 3 hours and I have John and the staff to thank for that.
And the Inkwell Awards Tour '08 winds down for the final
stop, Granite State Con in Manchester, NH on May 18!

Another great year at PCC came and went but there was much fun to be had in-between! To the right of my table space you can see the crowds down one side of artist alley (#2). New bud
Rich Lane posed with me (#3) and he is the architect of my all-new website to debut tentatively later this year! Saturday pm after hours in the penthouse I hang with my friends Bob Shaw,
Zeke Savory, Jr., and his lady friend Alyn. I also met inker Tom Schoendorn this weekend (#5) and witnessed Mike Oeming's birthday party surprise for Taki Soma (#6)...which led to the
balloon chaos to follow (you had to be there)! My employer from Sketch Magazine, Blue Line Pro set up at the show (#7), as did Serendipity Art Sales with Zeke, Hannibal King, Bob & Kim
Shaw (#8). And on Sunday I took pics with pal Neil Vokes (#9), Beau Smith who I met for the first time (and who seemed smaller & kinder than his legend would lead you to believe;-)), and
I had to get an image of Hannibal and Brian Kong once Bob Shaw pointed out the cool 'King Kong' aspect! Another superbly run show by Renee George, & her awesome family and staff!

The 3rd time's the charm for NYCC this year as everything ran smooth like clockwork, even with the crowds that poured in (#1)! I met Mark Morales (#2),
saw Bob McLeod for the first time in several years (#2), lined up with other inker Bobs (Smith & Wiacek, #4), Jimmy Tournas & I got a sketch cover for the
Inkwell awards auction from Joe Sinnott with his son Mark (#5), and I hooked up with my longtime pal, inker Keith Williams (#6)! The crowd in artist alley
on Saturday was unbelievable (#7), but I made sure to make time to pose with Occasional Superheroine columnist, Friends of Lulu prez, and all-around
great gal, Val D'Orazio (#8). Sunday morning before opening I took shots of part of the expansive hall (#9), the DC area (#10), Marvel (#11), & later Maggie
Thompson of Comics Buyer's Guide posed with me (#12) and asked me to pose for her (#13) and this may show up in CBG or their site. It was truly one
of the best weekends ever!!!

That's Entertainment in Worcestor, MA invited the
QUASAR creative team to it's legendary location.
Chris Gage, Mike Lilly and I spent 3 hours signing,
sketching, & talking to loads of fans & a super time
was had by all. You can see art rep Bob Shaw also
took the time to drop by along w/ his girls Brittany
and Courtney. Thanks to Evan & the staff for taking
very good care of us! Thus kicked off the Inkwell Awards Tour!
