WWC/Overall Update

Tue Jul 22, 2008, 8:04 PM
Hey Guys,

Well after a swift recovery from my wrist surgery (nothing serious) I figured I should get a journal up. WWC was awesome! Although I had a less than perfect spot in artist alley and the fact that the industry lost a great artist (will post my Michael Turner tribute piece soon) the con turned out pretty well. I ended up having one guy come by and pretty much pay for my entire table, which was really cool. Also, I sold every sketch that I brought and sketched during the con :)

A interesting story happened to me on Friday night. After consuming way too many beers downstairs in the Hyatt, Kristen :icontrashydevil: and Talent Caldwell asked if we knew of anyone who had beers in there room were they could have an A-Bar. We had about 60 left in a cooler in ours so I intvited them back up there. After they arrived, there was another knock at the door and about 15-20 more people came in to drink. The thing was that most of these people were famous artists!

So besides Talent, I had Eric Basaldua, Dave Finch, Joe Benitez, Mike Choi and Ralph Tedesco, all inside my hotel room and drinking beers with me. It was pretty insane. Our neighbors were old though and not thrilled with our party so we got the cops called on us as well as the hotel manager. EBAS and I attempted to explain to them that we were just having a chill party in honor of Mike, but they weren't buying it so everyone had to leave.

Since then I have been recovering from my surgery and starting up some new projects as well. Hopefully I will get to post some stuff soon.

Yeah, it was a great experience. I am there next year for sure so maybe you can catch me then.

Thanks.

I had a ganglion cyst removed from it. I had had it for awhile and was sick of dealing with it so I had it removed.
:iconthetrainingartist:
No prob.

Ouch, sounds really painful. Glad you had it removed.
