Summertime, summertime, sum sum summertime,,,,
Oh gosh, where did this week go? It sure was a busy one! Our Art Hunt friends left to continue their US tour in Salt Lake, Tuesday I went with my art buddies to Children's Hospital of Orange County to draw for some of the kids there in the cancer ward. We are working on a book where the kids write a story and we illustrate it for them. They are great to work with and really fun.

Thursday, the wonderhub, the Boy and I went to the world famous ComicCon. Dang! What a cool day! We came back with all kinds of swag, books and neat comics.... not to mention very tired feet. We took the train down and it was super fun. Klingons, Elves, Stormtroopers, you name it, we saw it.

I'm starting to work on the inkwork for my upcoming "Haunted History" series. Ev Stanton, my writing partner is a historian and is researching all kinds of creepilicious stuff. The books are going to be in black and white so I'm hustling to get my ink work up to "mad skills" speed.

Did you read comics growing up? I sure did, still do. Who's your favorite superhero? If you could have one superpower what would it be?

Up, up and away!
