book update

hey all. I'm trying to update more often but it's gotten hard lately due to work, errands and everything else in between. this won't be an art update sadly, but I did pick up a pretty sweet book at chapters on sunday.



It's called "Darwin's Bastards" and it's basically a collection of stories by different canadian writers about the possibility of a dystopian future. Some of these stories are just out of this world!! though I'm really enjoying the book so far. I mean come on, who doesn't enjoy dark humour and satires once in a while, right? best part is, Yann Martel and Douglas Coupland also contributed stories here. favoritism indeed on my part!

In other news, I have put a hold on the Stan Lee paintings for now, since I don't even know if I'm going. My friend Mike, of whom was also doing a piece for fanexpo, told me the grave news that the Ultimate Stan Lee Package is all sold out (this pretty much gives you lots of goodies, a seat at his presentation, a rare collectible, a picture with Stan Lee and a chance for him to autograph any items you want etc.) leave it to me to procrastinate on getting tickets. crap. I guess we'll see what happens..

  2. that totally sucks that the tickets sold out. But you can still get his autograph with just basic/deluxe tickets i believe. Though i am guessing there is some kind of extra fee though. That is not too bad. Chin up.
