Convention Schedule and New Minis 2013

HEY GUESS WHAT?

Here's the conventions I'm attending this year, and the brand new comics I'll have there:

Vancouver Canada- VanCaf, May 25th and 25th with Nomi Kane and Jen Vaughn

*New mini comic- Tragic Relief #14 "Washaway", see the story so far online.

Brooklyn New York- Grand Comics Festival, June 8th and 9th

*New mini comic- "I Should Have Dumped You When..." a collection of gags based on my unintentionally funny life (sample page above)

And...that's it.

I have a couple more comics in the works (haven't decided yet if I should do Island Brat 3 or just try to publish a collection), just need shows to debut them.

Here's some other conventions that I have applied to and/or would REALLY LIKE to apply to when their applications are available:

Stumptown April 27th and 28th (been waitlisted again, fingers crossed)

SPX, Sept 14th and 15th (may the odds be ever in your favor!)

Rose City Comicon, Sept 21st and 22nd (application in the mail!)

APE, Oct 12th and 13th (haven't been in years)

Geek Girl Con, October 19th and 20th (because I could walk there)

Short Run, Nov 30th (I have a good feeling about this one)

So much for the plan to cut back this year...any others I should be shooting for?

Diary Tunes 2012

Diary Tunes time again! Robyn Chapman organizes this cd exchange every year, I think this is the 6th time I've gotten to participate? I kinda look forward to this all year.

Since I felt like I spent most of 2012 just spinning my wheels and filling up sketchbooks without making a lot of comics, I called this mix the "Never-Ending Sketch Party" and did a bunch of themed doodles for the track list. And yes, I already know I have weird taste in music. Excited to see what everyone else sends!
