New Page #18. Alan and Bea make it out in the nick of time… for now.

Wow, so many of you voted on which wallpaper to unlock! Over a hundred comments. I think the only times that ever happened is when Bea kissed Ben and Alan punched Nathan. In the end, it was the “Spring iPod Love” wallpaper that won, so I hope you all enjoy it! Download here:  [1024 x 678] [1600 x 1200] [1920 x 1200] Thanks again for voting The Dreamer into the TGT Tournament finals! I’ll leave the wallpapers up for a week.

I forgot to mention something last Friday. Long-time reader Emily set up a forum for The Dreamer. Go have fun with it, chat up a storm, and meet fellow Dreamers! I created a username on there (I’m comic-chic, just like on DeviantART) and I put a first post up in the Welcome folder. Create a log in and drop a comment so we know you’re there. Let’s get this thing started!

And just to repeat, since I didn’t put this in a Friday post yet, I’ll be a guest again at Mid Ohio Con, in Columbus, Ohio, November 6-7th. We had a blast last year, and I hope some of you can make it out this year. And don’t forget that you can see me in Cincinnati in a two weeks at the Cincinnati Comic Expo, one day only, Saturday, September 18th.

VOTE this week to preview next week’s pages!

This was announced last week so I’m free to post it here: I’ll be a guest again at Mid Ohio Con, in Columbus, Ohio, November 6-7th. We had a blast last year, and I hope some of you can make it out this year.

And don’t forget that you can see me in Cincinnati in a few weeks at the Cincinnati Comic Expo, one day only, Saturday, September 18th. I’ve been working on some new prints for this show, and I’ll be a guest on a panel about Digital Comics with some other folks, like my buddy Thom Zahler (Love and Capes).

So I actually made it into the TGT Tournament Finals!! High Five, everyone! Thanks for all the votes! This is the last week for VOTING. The higher I rank, the sooner I’ll be on the program. As for having made it into the finals, which Dreamer Wallpaper do you want unlocked? The one that gets mentioned the most in the comment will be posted on Friday.

I’ve been back from Otakon for a few days, but I think I’m still recovering! We checked in after 10 PM the first night, and Artist Alley stayed open until midnight Friday and Saturday. It was quite a show, I’ve never done anything like it. The best I can describe it is a 25,000 person, three-day sleepover! If that sounds like fun, come on out next year–I know I’ll be back!

Throngs of attendees crowded both lobbies at the convention center Saturday morning, eagerly waiting to sign in. Continue Reading »

I mentioned that I’ll be at Otakon at the end of the month, but I don’t think I’ve officially announced my appearance at the Cincinnati Comic Expo yet. It’s a brand new show, one day only down in Cincy! September 18th. If you live in this part of the country, consider coming out for it. There is a great showing of Ohio talent already in the guest list.

Personally, I’ve been working on a bunch of new Dreamer merchandise: new buttons, chibi magnets sets, stickers and Bea dress up dolls! I’ll be bringing it to Otakon, but if you can’t make Otakon, get your hands on the Dreamer goodies at this show. Cincinnati is a fun city. Mike and I spent our one year anniversary there and there are some fabulous museums and a really wonderful aquarium. Hope to see you there!
