I was at the Anime Wasabi convention recently where I got to be a guest and hang out with a whole bunch of Anime fans.
I’ve been saying I’d put up pictures of the event for a while now, but I’ve been crazy busy. Finally got a free moment so here they are. Now if you’d like to see more of the goings on at Anime Wasabi head over to the Zombie Nation’s facebook page here. I’ve still got a few more I need to put up.
I got back from Anime Wasabi. Sorry for the delay in posting up a comic I’ve been hanging at with Anime nerds and trying to keep my eyeballs from exploding.
I’ll be writing up a full report soon. Don’t worry I’ll post up pictures.
I’m getting ready for Anime Wasabi this weekend so this sketch comic was sadly all I could manage for today. You would not believe how long it takes me to etch mugs.
Speaking of which if you are in the Denver, Colorado area this weekend come out and see me and I’ll draw a picture of you as the living dead.
To everyone who ordered a convention sketch from me at Anime Banzai. I’m terribly sorry for the delay.
I honestly thought I could get to them faster than this, but I got horribly ill right after the convention. Terrible excuse I know, but please forgive me.
Anyway, here’s the status on those. I’m mailing out my first batch of sketches tonight and I’ll be working on them like crazy till they are done.
I assure you no one will be forgotten. I have all your information and will make this happen for you.
Sadly the spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak.
So I was at Anime Banzai this weekend and things are going great. I mean things are going awesome! So of course my ego is exploding. People are telling me I’m awesome, they’re smiling, everyone’s having a good time….
Right at the height of my hubris this adorable little girl makes this comment to me that I’m ALMOST an artist…and… CLICK, just like that. I’m brought back to reality with the crushing realization that I’m just a dude… and a weird dude at that. A weird dude that draws weird stuff.
That’s not a bad thing.
I think it’s bad to take yourself too seriously. I make the joke all the time with my wife that “I’m internet famous” and my chest puffs out and I start kicking in doors shouting that. I’M INTERNET FAMOUS!!!
To me that’s a huge joke because being “Internet Famous” is nothing. It doesn’t really mean anything. And no matter how big you think you are there’s going to be a million people bigger.
This guy is more internet famous than I’ll ever be and I’m totally okay with that.
So when a little girl comes up and with a few words manages to put me in my place, I can’t help but laugh at myself. I’ll laugh, then go right back to drawing my weird little zombie comic. I’ll just have a little bit less of an ego when I do it.
Here’s my last zombie convention sketch for my trip to Fandemonium. I didn’t think you’d mind a sketch of some zombie cleavage I made at the convention.
I’m finally back from the land of potatoes!
Wednesday the zombie comic madness will continue as normal. I’ll have to write up a full review when I’m not so tired, but we had a really great time, the people were super nice, and it was a great success.
However, it is now 2:00 in the morning and I’ve got to get some sleep.
