Looks like I have to get a ticket from Melbourne to San Diego or somewhere in the US to pick up your art. : ) I'll keep my eyes peeled for any local Aussie cons (won't keep my fingers crossed as they may never get uncrossed).Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107620315733509879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-55474835475454506272007-07-17T19:48:00.000-05:002007-07-17T19:48:00.000-05:00Shawnthere's nothng happening online.

It's a good chance to meet and chat with writers/artists/creators. I'm also trying to pick up some sketches/commissions/original art from various artists (yourself included). Do you sell any art at all? Apologies if this question comes across as crass but I couldn't find any information about your art for sale online.Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107620315733509879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-22485098581401441992007-07-17T16:13:00.000-05:002007-07-17T16:13:00.000-05:00"America!

While the promotion itself is terrible (in the way that asks it's mainly minority staff to wear badges with Apu on them and say "Thank you, come again"), the writer also complains about the portrayal of Apu within the show itself.<BR/><BR/>Maybe he was needing a few extras words to pad out his article, but, while the *idea* of Apu within the Simpsons is a racial stereotype, his portrayal is anything but. In fact, he's probably the most well-rounded, kind, caring, thoughtful, hard-working and just plain "likeable" character in the whole of Springfield.<BR/><BR/>So while the parts of the promotion in America which include Apu sound atrocious, hurtful and offensive, I wish he hadn't diluted his message with an poorly aimed shot at the show.Johnny Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13302545167970532080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-16686349108699491672007-07-17T01:49:00.000-05:002007-07-17T01:49:00.000-05:00That would be "Shoot Em Up", which looks fantastic...That would be "Shoot Em Up", which looks fantastic.

I've had to start again twice now... might also be due to the fact that my little baby girl won't give me any piece, but I do love her. Looking forward to seeing you in San Diego. We'll have to have that talk about horror, and why goths are the way they are, which in fact has more to do with humor then anything else, these days.Christopher Moonlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16805942313835669938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-5339001565051014722007-07-17T00:48:00.000-05:002007-07-17T00:48:00.000-05:00That second picture is just beautiful.
