I meant to do this sooner, but I was having too much fun. FCBD kind of kicked off a birthday week here, from which I am starting to recover. First, I'm getting piles of comics, next thing you know, comics arrive in the mail from friends (Thanks Grant and Sherilyn, just what I always wanted: Kirby's Demon Omnibus) and then the parents come to town for a fun visit, mom having made a good supply of her son's favorite peanut butter cookies...
So, I've basically been laying on the couch, reading comics and stuffing myself with cookies for the last week. Best Birthday Ever.
The highlight in the middle of all of this was artwork showing up on my twitter doorstep on the big day, orchestrated (I found out later) by my best girl, Kirsten (whose own art piece graces the top of this update).
- The first to arrive was this piece by Chris Sims (writer for the Eisner-nominated Comics Alliance, co-writer of Awesome Hospital) showing a senses-shattering team-up. To top it off, Mr. Sims also gifted me with the gift that keeps giving: Batman, namely Morrison's Batman. It's pretty likely that I will draw anything he wants, forever, at this point.
- Next was fellow Action Age Comics artist Matthew Allen Smith (artist of Solomon Stone) who stole my heart with this Steranko homage.
- Rusty Shackles (TableTopFetus, Creator of Twitter Art Jam) made me feel like I had front row tickets to the most awesome and medically beneficial concert ever.
- Chad Bowers (Die Comics Die, co-writer of Awesome Hospital) forwarded me this medical paradox by Adrian Rodriguez and Amit Ghadge. Babies having babies, sure. But babies delivering babies...?
