JULY!!!
how'd it get to be JULY already! I'm spending my day off getting stuff ready for this years COMIC CON. i have 2 new books this year. Familiar Vices 2 and a collection of the Dick Harden Covers. i printed twice as many this year seeing as how i sold out by Friday last time. PLUS new shirts. i went all out and used American Apparel . they're more expensive but nicer. i will still sell them for the same price though. so, come by the booth (5463 near hall H) and pick up some cool stuff. i will also be selling the original sketches from this years sketchbook! hope to see you there.
