It's Sunday! Have a good one! I'll be back working on the cover for Jim after church. I'll take a few breaks to read Scott Pilgrim trades, a friend loaned me all six yesterday.

I saw some of those in a book store last week and considered picking them up…but I figured nah. lol I'll see the movie tho.

Looking forward to seeing that completed cover,Scott! All those different character images combined should be quite a sight!

I finished formatting my 32-page The Mesh comic book in time to submit it for Packrat Comics' Mid-Ohio Con contest. The deadline for the contest was Tuesday and I got the proposal finished Tuesday afternoon.

Since then, I've been designing a website for my sister's pizza shop (Frankie's Pizza in Gahanna, Ohio).

Also, I'll be set up with lots of comics and other goodies at the annual Labor Day Lost Weekend Records record swap, in Clintonville, Ohio. I'm drawing a bunch of rock and pop star illos today, to give away free with purchase tomorrow.

Hello, Just a quick note to introduce myself.  I am new to this forum but have so far enjoyed all the interesting comments and post.  Good luck to M. Neno - I hope your labor day event goes well.

Welcome LWsep10.
Sometimes, mosttimes I wish I lived in Ohio. Seems like there is always something cool going on. Unlike sleepy ct. WAH bleepin WAH!

Hey Mr. Grim. I see you.

I see you,too. Also, as sleepy and
laid back as you are, CT should suit you fine!

Ohio is a hotbed of activity but it's a little too land-locked for me. Lake Erie - well, it's a fresh-water lake. I'm so used to the smell of the salt water of Puget Sound. Columbus was a nice place to visit.

Chat? Or too much Labor Day Weekend for everyone?

More Drac production tonight. Woo! It's almost done!

Well yeah, but there is so little that goes on here by way of comic con's and pop culture. It's just a pricey suburb of NYC. Okay I'm moving.

Welcome to Dimestore, LWsep10. I didn't sell a lot at the swapmeet - not really the right crowd for it, but Brett Ruland of Spoonful Records introduced me to someone directing a video for Times New Viking's new single, so I may be doing some art for that. Also scored a bunch of vinyl, of course!

There is a lot of cartooning activity in Ohio, on all levels. I'm not sure why that is, but Ohio was instrumental in so many pioneering moments in cartooning history, from the birth of Richard Outcault (The Yellow Kid) in Lancaster in 1863 to Noel Sickles and Milton Caniff revolutionizing the action comic strip while at Ohio State University and the creation of Superman in 1932 in Cleveland, to name just a few examples.
