Cause & Effect

Cause & Effect

“a gnat sneezes in the Amazon and it rains in India”  or “someone sticks his toe in the ocean in Florida and a tsunami hits in Japan” no that isn’t quite it either, how about “a cat is penned up in a steel chamber…” no I don’t think we need Schrodinger’s Cat but you get [...]

Phoenix Comicon

Phoenix Comicon

This weekend is our local convention, the Phoenix Comic Con, which used to be known as Cactus Con.  It started several years ago as a small, local group of fans getting people together.  It was truly a grassroots effort. A few years ago it moved to the other side of the valley into a bigger [...]

Let’s All Go To The Movies

Let’s All Go To The Movies

I hate the movies these days.  Ok, let me restate I love the movies, I hate GOING to the movies.  Could someone please explain to me why we pay $9 to listen to kids scream and people eat every food substance known to man.  Can we not make it through a two hour movie without [...]

Credit where credit is due?

Credit where credit is due?

Now here is a weird situation that most of you have never had to deal with.  Brian sends me an email (yes I know we are married and he sits two feet from me most of the day but he emails me… go figure) asking if I will contact one of our clients and get [...]

Movin’ & Shakin’

Movin’ & Shakin’

Well, well, well, here we are again, gearing up for San Diego Comic Con.  I hope you aren’t just now thinking about going ‘cause it’s too late.  Hotels are pretty much sold out (well anyone you could afford,) tickets are pretty much sold out (well the days you actually wanted to attend,) and tables/booths (especially [...]

Most Excellent!

Most Excellent!

Admittedly, this article is going to be slacking.  I’m at the BNP Paribas Open (a pro tennis tournament in Indian Wells/Palm Springs, CA) watching a ton of tennis and getting sunburned. BUT, I just found out that the CBG’s Annual Fan Awards were just announced and guess who’s up for Favorite Colorist?  Yes, Brian Miller [...]

Shout Out!

Shout Out!

So it’s that dreaded time of year… tax time.  As a small business owner taxes kill you.  All you ever do, it feels like, is pay taxes… quarterly, monthly, then lucky you yearly.  Next time you go to ask for the raise( because you are so deserving) please keep in mind that if we give [...]

It’s here… almost!

It’s here… almost!

Master Digital Color is almost here, we saw advanced copies today.  Overall, it looks really good.  A couple tiny glitches that they are going to try to fix before the mass printing but it looks pretty good if I do say so myself. Ya know, I have to admit that this book writing process is [...]

Too Much Stuff!

Too Much Stuff!

This past weekend Brian & I (mostly Brian) started cleaning out the garage.  It is amazing how much stuff gets piled up in the corners, on shelves, in cabinets, etc.  Where does all this stuff come from?  It’s bad enough that our house is full of stuff but what kind of stuff can survive in [...]
