And....

Tr!ckster Schedule!

Sunday, July 24
10:00am-12:00   Billie the Unicorn book signing

Tr!ckster will be held across the street from Comic Con at the San Diego Wine and Culinary Center, 200 Harbor Drive, Suite 120.
I'm planning on hanging around there Friday at 3pm, and Saturday afternoon before the panel, for  anyone who would like a signed book.  Tr!ckster will have Billie available in their pop up store during the convention.  I'm very thankful they are willing to carry it and to let me sign!  Also really excited to be on a panel with some good friends!

Check my Twitter feed during the convention in case of any last minute changes.

The "Girls Drawing Girls IV:  The Way Nature Made Her" will be available at their booth, #5628, and I had a lucky chance to draw a page for that.  Looks like it'll be a beautiful book!

Thanks to everyone who came out to our panel at Anime Expo last weekend!  I also met a nice lass named Katie who beat me at Rock, Paper, Scissors.  She won the gift bag at the panel!

(and I totally saw people in the audience trying to cheat!  HA HA!! XD )

Girly Poo!

Contest Time!
For anyone who cares, Now it is time for a contest! I'm giving out 10 codes, I might get some more later.

Here is the dumb question:
Where is the song used on the end credits of my student film,"Movie Munchies" from?

Leave your answer and I'll send you a download code. Yay.



Click!

"Girly Poo", the sketchbook app is now in the iTunes store. It's 33 pages, ten are exclusive to the app. The rest of the images are hi-res scans that have been posted on my blog or website before. I would have liked to have 33 new images but free time has been elusive. The good news is that the app is cheap, $2.99. There is an actual page from "Billie the Unicorn", two new pages of Tricky and Gorf, two new pages of Banana Cat, bunch of girl drawings from when I was on 3000, and a few others.



Anyone going to be at Anime Expo this coming weekend? I'm going to be on a panel at AX 2010 in LA, unless I chicken out or come down with ebola.
Here is the info:

"Breaking In! Working in Animation!
Giving tips on how to break into the domestic animation industry. Speakers will discuss how they got in and how anime influenced their work. Guest speakers will vary from writer, creator, director, character designer and production."

July 3rd, Saturday, 8pm, room lp2

Speakers so far on the panel are Jay Oliva, George Krstic, Alan Wan, Derrick Wyatt, Ciro Nieli,and Will Feng. If you are a student or interested in the mysterious rituals of TV animation this may be a good place to come ask questions, or watch me make an idiot of myself.



I will have buttons. Skippy hates them.
