There’s a lot going on this weekend! First up, I’ll be at the Vancouver Comic Arts Festival! It’s my very first Canadian convention, I’m nervous and excited! Come See me at TABLE D8.

This weekend is ALSO Wonder Northwest in Portland! I won’t be there, but I did the design for the LIMITED EDITION WNW Sticker that will be for sale at the convention! There are only 100 of them, so get there early and snag one!

Fun Fact, Mystic Caverns was up for sale in 2008 for $900,000 buckaroos.

I’m back from Stumptown and getting ready for Crafty Wonderland next weekend! And then two weeks after that I’ll be at VanCAF! It’s a busy month! And then after that I don’t have any conventions until September, so if you are on the West Coast and want to see me, Crafty and VanCAF are your last chances for months!

Also, look! The Skin Deep hardcovers are now up in the store! I originally was just going to sell them at conventions, but I figured out how to send the books safely through the mail so now they’re up for sale for everyone! There are actually only around 150 of these puppies left (of each book) so if you’d like one of these beautiful books, buy one now!

If you’re in the Portland area this weekend, don’t forget to stop by Stumptown!! I’ll be sharing a table with Sfé Monster (who gets into town tomorrow, I’m so excited!!!!). I hope to see you there! Come to table D7! (click the image for a bigger version of the floor map!)

There is a SLIGHT CHANCE that Skin Deep’s updates might be a little shaky for the next couple weeks! I’m going to do everything in my power to get updates up on time, but I have a huge freelance deadline next week, Sfé Monster is coming to visit for Stumptown, and then Stumptown Comics Fest! There’s lots happening!! I will try my very very best to get comics up on time, but if I don’t, you know why!

Speaking of Stumptown, I’m up for TWO Stumptown Comics Awards! Best Colorist and Best New Talent! Golly!! I’ve never been nominated for an award before!! Anybody can vote, so if you’d like to vote for Skin Deep, click here!

The first person to figure out what Gabe said gets the honor of being the first person to figure out what Gabe said.

Edit: Gosh! Ya’ll got the translation really quick! It’s “vooan” which means “truth.”

Golly, this page is recalling a lot of events from the Orientations storyline. It’s almost like they’re connected in some way!

All store orders are going out in the mail today (Tuesday)! This includes all the pre-order charms, which came in the mail  yesterday (Monday)! I know I’ve been a little slow with the store, lately, but I’m catching up now, and new store orders will be shipped quickly from now on! Yay!

Oops, some of you keen-eyed readers guessed correctly about demon possession. You might not remember Damien! Here is a link to his very first appearance, way back in Orientations. He hasn’t spoken before now, so welcome to the realm of speaking characters, Damien.

There is a SALE going on at the PLESIOSTORE right now! Enter discount code “TAXES” at checkout to get 5% off your whole order. I’m trying to scrape together some cash to help pay for this years taxes.

Oh dang, action, in MY Skin Deep? It’s more likely than you’d think.

TOTE BAGS are now in the store! $12 nets you an excellent little bag! I use one as a purse! Also please be patient with store orders, I’m still in the middle of shipping out Kickstarter orders, and there’s still about 150 of those left, so orders from the store are going out the door a little slower than usual. Also, the new charms are taking a little longer to get in because of an unexpected printing error, so as soon as those get in I’ll mail out all those preorders.
