New Experiences and New Friends

Con Sketches from Supanova and Oz ComicCon. Also a picture with Stephanie Nadolny the voice of Goku.

Well, my convention tour is over (I still love the sound of that). Both Supanova Sydney and Oz Comic-Con Melbourne were extremely successful. So successful in fact that I am currently sold out of High School Romance #1 in print. Don't worry though if you still want to read High School Romance #1 you can still purchase it digitally from Graphicly for a measly $1.99. (SHAMELESS PLUG)
I never expected to have such a good experience having a table at a con this early in my "comic book career". People were stopping by the table asking for sketches, buying copies of both my artbook and High School Romance, and just stopping by to have a chat. It was so much fun! There is actually nothing cooler than people buying a copy of your comic and coming back the next day to let you know how much they enjoyed reading it.

I also made some really awesome new friends. These guys are probably some of the coolest people you will ever meet in the Aussie comics community. They go by the name Space Pyrates but in real life they are called Mathew Hoddy and Caitlin Major. I met them at the end of Supanova Sydney and they were good enough to let me team up with them for Oz Comic-Con to create an unstoppable dream team of sexiness. To prove how cool these guys are they release their comic, also called "Space Pyrates" online for free as a webcomic! The comic is hilarious so if you are a fan of fun you gotta go check it out!

Here is to new friends!

I'll be back on the road doing another convention tour towards the end of the year. I am super amped to get up and do it all over again. Having a table at one of these conventions and meeting awesome people just reaffirms to me that this is what I want to be doing for the rest of my life. I will be going to Armageddon Melbourne and Supanova Brisbane to round off what my convention appearances for the rest of the year. Watch out for new chapters for High School Romance and maybe a guest appearance in Space Pyrates.

Anyways, till next time!

PS: I met Stan Lee :O

Supanova Madness!

Supanova Sydney 2012 less than a week away! That means that it will be less than a week away till I have my first table at a convention!

After a few very intense weeks of drawing and planning I can now say that I am ready for Supanova. High School Romance #1 is complete and has been sent off to the printers. I have over 200 prints of 7 different design ready for sale. Accommodation in Sydney sorted. Everything is a GO!

Pokemon print available at Supanova!

Ben 10 print available at Supanova!

I mentioned in my first post of the year, this year is about action and I need to get things done. I feel that I am following through with that promise. Even though it took me a large amount of work to get to this point, for me this is the very beginning. From this point forward there is no turning back. As I now will be showing myself to the world in a very bold way by having a table at Supanova, I need to start fulfilling my promises and need to have more of an online presence through various social media. These are both things I need to work on.

After Supanova Sydney then it's hopefully on to Oz Comic Con in Melbourne, unfortunately that is not 100% confirmed yet but I should find out later this week. And once that is over that should be the end of my tour (always wanted to say that) and I can get back into blasting through High School Romance again. I might have completed one issue but I still have 6 more to go.

Oh man. This blog post is all over the place. I should start writing better. Anyways if you are in Sydney and are keen to hang out and be cool, then come find me at Supanova Sydney on  June 16th and 17th. I have given you a map underneath to find me.

I have been pretty quiet lately but that doesn't mean I haven't been hard at work!
