Back From Dragon*Con!

Hey ho, all! Just flew in from Atlanta, and boy is my butt tired. ;P It was a fun con, and I'll post a con report sometime in the next few days. I got to chat and hang out with Bill Holbrook, Jeff Darlington and his wife, meet a few celebs (I got Lou Ferrigno to autograph a Heroclix figure of The Hulk), see some old friends I don't get to see anywhere near often enough, hang and schmooze with some long-time jungloids, and generally have a good time. I also did a few sketches, which will run at some point whenever I get scans.

Much fun. Me sleep now.

*THUNK!* zzzzzzzzzzzzz...

PS: Y'know, for all of furry's reputation about weird sex, I still think the fantasy/sf art community is much sluttier. :P

Remind Me to Tell Frisk...

That Guardians of Order is coming out with a Slayers D20 supplement for BESM d20.

Oh, wait, he reads my LJ, so I don't have to!

No Con Report Yet...

Partially because I was busy all day, and partially because really not that much happened that was exciting on my own personal scale of constuff. It's going to take a lot for Dragon*Con to beat its 2001 high. I will post one eventually, tho.

I think, starting next week, I'm going to start plugging a "Help Gneech Get a New Computer!" Fund on the SJ site. I'm not sure what I'll do exactly ... auction a few art pieces and/or commissions, probably, and maybe beg for mini-donations to the Tip Jar. I need at least $600 to get the computer I want.

I don't think I'd feel comfortable going the Pete Abrams route ("please give me money because I want some and didn't do any merchandise"), but I don't mind so much asking for a little support on a specific item that directly bears on the production of the strip.

I was rather surprised at the web comics panels to hear various other artists talking about how reader donations covered their costs every month, without merchandising or doing sketchbooks. I'm happy and pleased when I get a donation at all in a month. If I had to depend on them to make the expenses of the strip, I'd be SOL!

Do I maybe just not beg enough? o.0 This is one of those things that make cartoonists wonder about their place in the fandom. Oh well. Better to concentrate on a specific goal (i.e., get a replacement for this POS computer), than to fret about intangibles.

PS: "Fretting Over Tangibles" might be a good name for a rock band, but probably isn't as good as "The Mini-Donations."
