Baltimore Comic Con

It has been a while since I attended a comic book convention.  But since my old friend Matt Wagner was one of the many artists/writers at this year's convention in Baltimore, I couldn't resist taking him up on his offer of two free guest passes.  My wife, Gioia, and I had a wonderful time, though we didn't purchase a thing.  It is entertaining enough to observe the various superheroes walking around with plastic bags and Cokes.  If you are not familiar with Matt's work check him out here.

Twilight of Wayside

As many of you may know, I am stepping down as the resident set designer at Wayside Theatre as of the end of this week.  My intention is to pursue teaching and writing and, occasionally, some decorative art.  The experience at Wayside has been edifying and I wish everyone there only the best in their lives and art.

Novel Progress

Chapter five is almost complete, and the characters and setting continue to come to life.  Very exciting.
