In a weird twist of coincidence, the North Carolina State Games is hosting its fencing event (along with Karate and Taekwondo) at the Charlotte Convention Center on June 20, the same weekend as Heroes Con! So you can count on me crossing over to visit the fencing venue at least sometime on Saturday…and hopefully I’ll be able to convince my comic friends to visit, too!
By the way, if you haven’t looked, Heroes is growing to be one of the best cons in the Southeast, and this year they are hitting it out of the park with the attendance by indie legend Jeff Smith plus full-blown attendance by editors from Marvel and DC. If you like comics, it’s gonna be awesome!
June 1 celebrated one year of Sabrecat! I thought you might like to see an early model of Serik. This model was created in original Sculpey about 12 years ago. He’s crude, but he sits on my desk just the same waiting for a makeover! Super Sculpey is a superior product and I hope to take another stab at it one day (no pun intended!).
After one full year of on-time updates, the day has come for the dreaded hiatus. With the end of school my free time is shorter…but the good news is that there are some exciting things in store! In a nutshell: This summer, I’ll be teaching a drawing class, applying to an online art school, chasing down freelance work, making the pilgrimage to the Center for Cartoon Studies in Vermont for a workshop, doing some online tutorials and overhauling my website. Working on Sabrecat has given me new vision and direction…and don’t worry, it’s far from over!
So, I have two more pages to publish before the hiatus officially begins, which will be up as soon as possible. After that, expect the blog to continue as normal but the comic will be taking a break. I have appreciated all of the support, especially from fellow creators…I hope you will stick around to see how things develop!
Update: The Heroes Con workshop schedule has been posted!
Since I attended the excellent SCAD workshops at Hero Con last year, I’ve been looking for high-quality classes and workshops that go into a little more detail. Specifically, I’m looking for short adult-appropriate workshops that working people like me who may not be able to enroll in a full-year program, can attend during the summer. Here is a list for 2009, I will update as I find more of them.
