WonderCon 2013 (2 Comments)

I will be at WonderCon in Anaheim, California from March 29-31. Come visit me in the small press area at booth SP 65. I will have books for sale, a new full color Space Base 8 magazine, Space Base 8 buttons, posters, and mini-comics! Buy the book, “Blast Off!”, and I will autograph it and doodle a free sketch in it for ya. How’s that sound?

This will be my first time exhibiting at a convention, and I am pretty excited! Please come by and say hello. I really crave the attention.

And if you can’t make it to the convention but would still like a copy of the book “Blast Off!”, it is available online here, as always.

The Marvelous Rotating Light Table (3 Comments)

Here is a video showing off the unusual drawing table that I use when I make Space Base 8.
I built a wooden frame around a fluorescent light ceiling fixture, topped it with a piece of frosted glass, then topped tat with 1/8″ thick whiteboard with a circle cut out of it. I took a round glass tabletop and set it into the hole in the whiteboard. This gives me a rotating drawing surface that is useful for drawing and painting. To find out why a rotating drawing surface on a light table is useful, watch the video!

Hey, it’s another Rocket Ship Friday, youse guys! This ship is called the Angel Biter colony transport, and it comes to us from Mat Washburn, who does the webcomic Evan Yeti. A Yeti, a talking snowman, and a walrus clan with a secret weapon… what more could you ask for in a webcomic? Go check it out, what else are you going to do with all this time on your hands?

Thanks, Mat, for this wicked cool piece of space art!
