The PSP trend to come

Sometimes I save things on my hard drive for weird reasons. I might see a picture of a figure standing in an interesting way, or with great lighting and save it with the intention of drawing it later on. Or as is the case here, I might see a picture that Sony created in total seriousness that is the most absurd thing I've seen and will want to look back on it and laugh one…

Geez, it's been so long since I've written a blog in here, I've got to get back in the blogging habit here! Short post for today, but I thought I'd share some artwork I've been working on. First up is a short Sam and Max comic strip that was entered into Game|Life's contest. You can check out all the winners here, but I thought I'd post mine below, as I've moved some things around to…

I make it no big secret that when the original Playstation arrived in 1995, I avoided it with a seething, boiling hatred. After all, I was brought up on Nintendo, and proud of it.

In fact, it’s now become a Gamestop/EB exclusive, so those used to buying their games elsewhere won’t even have a shot of obtaining it. But when I hear a quirky little-known Japanese game is…

Another Katsucon has come and gone in a whirlwind of hotels, broken luggage, crazy shopping marathons, and anime viewing. Seriously, I feel like I never got the chance to catch my breath before it was time to pack up and head home, which kinda sucked because I'd been looking forward to the convention for so long now. While the anime I did catch was enjoyable, there was the usual schedule blunders and oddly absent shows.
