As you can see from my grin, I was thrilled to finally meet the legendary creators Wendy and Richard Pini @elfquest.bsky.social. They were so kind to chat, sign my purchase, and pose for a photo.

It's the last day of NYCC 2025! Head to Artist Alley and purchase any fantastic art that catches your eye. It will make you feel better and help the artist with a lighter breakdown and load out. Everyone wins!

The first graphic novel I ever drew just had a release party at NYCC and I wasn’t invited. Months ago I asked the publisher if they were going to attend the con and they said they had no plans. Then like 3 weeks ago they asked if I was going, they were doing an event.

(Cue that famous Kirby quote)

I had a vivid dream last night: @geminicollision.bsky.social hosted a salon in their old apartment near Cinema Village. The salon featured a reading of a new play by Peter Dinklage, with signed copies handed out to the audience, and a performance of Noel Coward songs by John Slattery.
