"a GAY ole time!"...


Greetings SURFACEDWELLERS;

Not much to report from the "house of the Dragon" this month except that I will be attending my first convention of 2010. It's a small first year con called the "Mari-Con" and it is right here in Orlando and practically FREE! Two of the main reasons that appealed to me.

The convention is being sponsored by a popular local comic retailer called "a Comic Shop" and by "What's Happening" magazine, for those not in the know, What's Happening is a popular gay entertainment publication, that's right ,I said GAY!

Mari-Con is the first gay community related comic and toy convention that I ever heard of let alone have a table at. A friend of mine informed me of the upcoming convention and told me a little about it so I knew what it was all about before I decided to reserve a table.

It is a small two day convention starting June 4th and 5th and it's being held at the Doubletree Resort/Orlando on International drive...oh and admission is FREE!

It is a first year convention with little promotion so my expectations are not high but it should prove interesting...I'll be available for commission sketches and will also have some limited quality prints of some of my work available along with some issues of some of the books I have worked on. Coming along for the ride, so to speak ,is my friend and colorist Vince Vinson from Scare Tactix Graphix, who has just finished doing the coloring chores on issues #3 and #4 of Ramsey Rusef's "Billy the Monster Hunter" series, he will also be available for book signings.

So if you're in the Orlando area this coming weekend by all means stop in at the Mari-Con and say "Hey"doors open at 12 noon....I'll give all who care a post con report after the event till then take care and Peace. ;)
