TIME TO SHOW OFF WHAT A HUGE GODDAMN GREMLINS NERD I AM


(not pictured is my dartboard Gizmo magnet and the huge Gremlins 1 poster hanging on my wall)

I really enjoyed Cara Bean’s Gremlins comic a lot! I grew up seeing Gremlins 2 first, so I never got to have the privilege of being emotionally scarred by Gremlins 1, so I find people’s firsthand accounts interesting as hell! Even better is how the comic goes into how Gremlins was one of the films that led to the inception of the PG-13 rating, a fascinating tidbit of cinema history!

Also I posted my favorite panel from the whole thing, where I just imagine the kid whsipering the line in the most traumatized tone possible. SO GOOD!

Behold the comics I plundered from SPX. I shall now sit atop them like Smaug on his pile of gold. Okay okay time to plug all this rad stuff—

Vattu: The First Day and Warriors by Evan Dahm: I adore this man’s inkwork and worldbuilding skills so muuuuucccccchhhhh

Sorcery 101 by Kel McDonald: I’ve been meaning to start reading this for a while and I’m awful at checking websites so I needed a book of it in front of me. I ENJOYED IT VERY A LOT.

Question Hound’s Puzzletorium and Midnight Surprise by KC Green: No one can ever say a bad thing about KC ever. EVER. I give him six out of five Shreks.

24 Hours by Eric Feurstein: This one was a Red Dead Redemption comic I mainly picked up for my brother’s amusement. It’s pretty hilarious and I need to check out more of this dude’s stuff.

Cat Rackham Loses It and Turtie Needs Work by Steve Wolfhard: RATTA TAT CAT. THAT IS ALL.

Monster Pulse and SWEET MONSTER PULSE TOTE BAG by Magnolia Porter: Magnolia’s stuff is a DELIGHT, her monster designs are the best. ALSO THANK YOU FOR DRAWING THAT ADORABLE GLENN IN MY BOOK :’)

Quatro Monstro Anthology by These People!: This is one of the few things I have not gotten to read through since I got back, but it’s a bunch of monster stories and the artists are really cool so CHECK IT OUT

Kindling Preview by Deanna Echanique: (hey deanna i forgot who’s doing the writing for this so lemme know so i can add it) Deanna’s pencilwork on this is amazing and if she rushes the inking i will stab her. >:|

Monster Country #2 by Eric Lide: My tablemate Eric rocks the hell outta comics with ridiculous characters and monster girls. HIS BLOODLINE IS THAT OF THE ANCIENT BADASSES.

Space Case Sally #2 by Ashley Quigg: Another super hard working friend of mine who drinks ancient potions to keep her linework clean. CHECK HER OUT OKAY

Octopus Pie Book 2 by Meredith Gran: seriously if you don’t know what this is go away

Tiny Hamilton and 8 Scary Things by Jared by Anne and Jerzy Drozd: These two work on some of the most adorable stuff :’) ALMOST MAKES UP FOR THE PEACH FAYGO JERZY INFLICTED ON ME LAST WEEKEND.

Tortoise and Hare by Mike Luckas: ANOTHER SVA PERSON! Mike’s work is insanely polished—his inks and colors and top notch and he’s got a great grasp on action stuff! (also holy crap Mike, HARE’S BOSS CRACKED ME UP SO MUCH)

Apple and Sparrow - Clover Cadets by Kasey Van Hise: Kasey’s another one of my bestest buds and I’d totally get on her case because it’s what I do but this comic has the most adorable bee in it so she gets a reprieve this time

Caper Con Carne by Hanni Brosh: Another one of my best buds who pulled out all the stops to get this book out in time for SPX and it came out BYOOTIFUL. Cryin’ onion is tops.

The Gremlin Movie Incident by Cara Bean: God, my biggest regret of SPX was that I bought this when the artist wasn’t around! I have a good idea I probably would have gotten into an INSANELY long-winded conversation about the Gremlins movies with her. I’m actually gonna gush a bit more about this one in a separate post.

Teddy Comics by Emily Huff: ADORABLE PARROT COMICS :’)

Margaret Flying by Alison Wight: This girl stopped by our table and traded minis with us! I haven’t gotten a chance to read this one yet either, but I skimmed it real quick and it’s really nicely done! Check out her stuff!

Also the last thing I got wasn’t comics, but these ADORABLE roach earrings from Kelsey Werner! I actually thought they were charms when I got them and I don’t wear earrings BUT WHO CARES I’m inventive and can find a good use for ‘em anyway cuz they rock.

SO YEAH I’m tired of typing now, back to being sad about SPX bein’ over :’(

SPX IS OVER WHYYYYYY

SPX was super rad, I just wish it was longer (LE SIGH). Tim, Eric and I all had a blast, and I’d like to thank everyone who stopped by, especially all my online friends who stopped by to meet my hideous self in person for the first time—sorry if I drooled ranch dressing on any of you!!

Okay now NERDY PHOTOS OF MY SWAG INCOMING

SPX SKETCHES (i’m gonna do a writeup once I finish inking and toning tonight’s update)

mineraloid:

OKAY, I’m gonna start doing small batches of sketches from my SPX 2011 Fat Unicorn sketchbook! To back up a second, I took a sketchbook around SPX and had people draw Fat Unicorns. There are also some wonderful cameos by your friend and mine, Derpy the Tiger (in the future, he will star in his own sketchbook!)

To start, we have the rockin Hanni Brosh, Jon Griffiths, Eric Lide, Ashley Quigg, and Dechanique! (SPECIAL TIGER AND BUNNY BONUS FROM DEA)

DERPY THE TIGER: the SPX 2011 Meme!

OH MY GOD

OH MY GOD YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE

DERPY TIGER PUSH UPS

I leave tomorrow for SPX, I am super excited as long as I don’t hit a puddle the size of the Atlantic on the drive down.

Anyways this is more or less what I’ll have at the table—Beyond the Canopy Volume 1, my Business Snails mini, a lovely print, pins, and dead dog charms DAWWWW

Once again I’m at table G14, so STOP ON BY!

Still making Ground Hound charms for SPX!
I’m making a few of the Pomeranian Model featured on the latest page of my comic.
I’ve only made 12 of these guys because they’re way more time consuming than the corgis, so that’s probably all I’ll have of them during the weekend.
