November 14th, 2006

And that was November 14th, 2006, as documented on my LiveJournal.

Here’s a picture of the sculpture I was making! It’s made out of a barstool, an adding machine, a sewing machine, a couple broken stereos, and about 400 feet of wire. I scrapped the piece after the art show it was in, but I still have the microcontroller that controlled the LEDs. I should probably sell it to someone who’s going to put it to use… ^_^;;

I’m back from Cincy, which was a pretty cool convention. Real laid back and friendly! There were LOTS of little kids there, which was nice to see. My ponies were like a freaking magnet all day, too. ^_^ While I missed out on Intervention by checking out this convention this year, I’m hoping that they’ll be on different weekends next year, so I can go to both!

That’s my last convention for 2011, so I’ll see you guys at Ohayocon in January! You can head over to my conventions page for the list of shows I’m looking into for 2012. (I’m already amassing a gigantic list…. yikes.)

Happy Friday! It’s been quite awhile since I did a work comic.

Today is CHRIS’S BIRTHDAY! :D

This Can’t End Well

by Alex on September 5, 2011 at 12:00 PM

To be fair, I did help with the initial load from old house to new house, before I fell asleep on the air mattress…

Sadly, my Staedtler 0.3mm pigment liner lost its life at the end of today’s comic… it exploded all over my hand. Luckily I was done inking and it didn’t drip on the artwork… but man. That’s the liner I use to ink all my figures. I don’t know offhand if Staples sells the liners individually, either. I hope so, because I don’t really want to buy another 4-pack when I just need the one size.

It’s official– I have been declared the winner of the TGT Tournament! Thank you to everyone who voted during the entire month of August. I’m a little blown away, because I wasn’t really expecting to last a single round, being that my first match was against a giant like PC Weenies. I will let you know when I make my appearance on TGT Webcomics!

On September 17th, I’ll be at the Cincinnati Comic Expo in the Artist Alley! I’ve never been to this convention before, so it’s rather exciting. It’s also my first convention in the Cinci area, surprisingly. If you’re going to be in the area, stop by my table and say hello!

I’m also starting to build up my list of 2012 conventions, which you can check out at my conventions page.

I think that’s all the announcementy things I have at the moment. (I always tend to forget about things I wanted to blog about until after that page has been posted for 20 minutes. Doh.)

See you on Friday!

I’m in the top 3 for the TGT Tournament! My mind is a little blown. Thank you to everyone who has voted for me all this month, and especially my fallen opponents: PC Weenies, Odori Park, Woody After Hours, and Callous Comics. They’re all really cool folks, and you should check out their work!

There’s one last round of voting to determine 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place rankings, so you can still place your votes if you’d like. I’m already guaranteed a second interview as part of making the top 3, so anything on top of that is pretty much blue skies.

There may not be a comic this Friday, since I am getting a new car! The trick is, I have to somehow retrieve the car from Northwest Ohio, where my mother’s mechanic is, through whom I am buying said vehicle, and I might not have enough spare time this weekto get Friday’s comic done between now and then.

As always, keep an eye on my Twitter for up-to-the-minute status on the comic and whatever is on my mind at the moment.

In closing, enjoy this clip of Coach McGuirk:

Q&A

Panel 6′s alternate caption is “OMG OMG DOUG WALKER IS TALKING ABOUT MY PONIES.”

And he was!

I gave Doug a print of my TGWTG Ponies, and he was kind enough to sign this one for me. ^_^ He’s such a nice dude.

The TGT Tournament is getting HOT! It’s been neck and neck all week against Callous Comics, so keep up your voting! It’s going to come right down to the wire tomorrow night, I can already tell. Thanks to everyone who’s been voting this week– keep it up!

Yyyyyup.

I’m back from Matsuricon! Thanks to everyone who stopped by the table over the weekend. And hello to the folks who are just now checking out the comic! There was an unusual amount of interest in my creative works for an anime convention. ^_^ I got to see Doug Walker again, and I got to give him a print of my My Little Critic picture. It was magnificent.

My next convention is the Cinci Comic Expo next month!

To follow up on the previous round of the TGT Tournament, I did a guest panel for Woody After Hours today. :D

Aaaaaaaand, I’ve made it into the FINALS of the TGT Tournament! This blows my mind! I thought I was going to fall out in the first round, being up against PC Weenies, but I managed to rally the troops and move forward, and by then, it was ON. So thank you, and keep voting every hour! There’s a chance I could win this thing!
