I am attending the MESH Conference 2007 today and tomorrow here in Toronto. Met a lot of people and made some contacts. Including one potential cartooning contact! All panels today seemed to fall under a few common themes: philanthropy on the web, is it the end of...

While I am still in denial that my vacation in Paris is over, I am back to work on my comic book. Except progress has stalled as I am stuck on the events of the climax. I need this to be a hilarious climax that ties together all that happens leading up to the climax....

I spent a rainy day absorbing l’Arc de Triomphe. No, I didn’t bring an umbrella when I knew Paris was a rainy city. Yes, I did eventually buy a hoodie which still soaked me but NO the cold and rainy May weather did not ruin anything. I was too busy being...
