FCBD - RECAP

Wow, Randy and the crew at Collectors Corner were incredible yesterday. They took such good care of the artist and the customers on a day that had to be nerve-rackingly hectic. So glad to be a part of this event. Sold a stack of books from this set up:

I had the best seat in the house next to Greg LaRocque who put together one amazing commission after another all day and while signing copies of the many Marvel and DC titles he's worked on. Lots of people in this line were there to see him...

...and these chicks caused at least one car accident out front.

Also, met Batgirl and she wrote this first review of the book at Girls With Comics... though I only count two actual butt jokes and two borderline butt jokes in the whole book, I thank her for the kind words.

I also took part in a contest amongst the featured artists where we were asked to draw our interpretations of 'Charlie Sheen as Green Lantern'. I did not win, and I feel bad, because I really hope Charlie makes it through summer.

2011 CALENDAR PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The unexpected commercial success of the first calendar, and all of the legal wranglings associated with a project of that magnitude prevented the already controversial 2010  calendar (Steve Boone 12 Months of Uncut Dick) from seeing the light of day, but we are pleased to announce that all camps have agreed to put aside these differences for the sake of the art. 

You will not have to white out the days on your 2009 calendar again, in order to use it for the third year in a row because the 2011 calendar is almost here! Steven Boone 2011 Cauliflowlendar!  You are going to wish that 2011 was forever.

* Note that the calendar is not 3-D. I was going to make it 3-D but figured everyone would have a headache by March.

GAS GIANTS

Last night I dreamt that I lived back in my childhood home. One night from the front porch I could see Saturn and Jupiter massive in the sky, 3 to 4 times the size of the moon. I ran in to get my mom, dad and Pop to come see. By the time they all came out, the planets appeared bigger still, close to the horizon, and began to flicker and pulse wildly. I tried to take some pictures with my crappy Blackberry camera phone, but neighbors had gathered and were crowding the shots. Some of the blue planets also seemed to be falling in line, but it was mostly about Jupiter and Saturn.

BRIDGE

Here is a picture I took of a bridge coming home from DC (slightly shopped).

Last night I dreamt that I lived with some friends and family in a luxury resort home, seemingly some place tropical.  It was a tranquil environment except for a 12 foot tall ravenous bear that kept smashing through the fences and walls to attack us.  Her cub was very fond of me, and would show up anywhere I went, follow me to the store, into the bathroom, etc.  Hyper-protective mama bear, wasn't feeling it. 

I think I had six or seven coffees today.  It's awesome! 

Eventually, I had to find the bear's cave and draw some peace-offering-type images on the wall for her to understand my intentions and keep her from attacking the resort.  There was a bridge to the cave, the next island over.
