The solar eclipse yesterday was really cool for a lot of reasons, but my reason was that I got to be the coolest dad at my son’s elementary school. It wasn’t in any official capacity. The eclipse would be happening for us in the northeastern U.S. around the time my son would be getting out … Continue reading “Totality Cool Dad”
X-Men ’97 is so freaking good. I especially enjoy it because it hits a special kind of nostalgia for me. I don’t enjoy it because it reminds me that I used to occasionally watch the original animated series in the 90s, but rather that it’s helping me remember that wondrous time in my youth where … Continue reading “Nostalgia 97”
Anime Boston was exhausting and beautiful at once. The marathon hours of Friday and Saturday were an immense strain on my energy, but I put my whole self out there for everyone and anyone who came to my table. By Sunday I was thankful for the shorter hours of operation because I was running on … Continue reading “A Marathon of Meaningful Conversations”
I don’t do as many conventions as I used to. I’m not as young as I used to be, travel and hotels are phenomenally more expensive than ever, and my time away from home can’t be lengthy now that I’m a dad. But there are still a handful of shows that I make certain to … Continue reading “Anime Boston weekend!”

My wife and I suffer from a terrible condition. At any given moment we will find ourselves incapacitated, unable to move, unable to perform or complete the most basic of tasks because we no longer have control of our bodies. The cause of this condition is not a disease or a mental illness… but our … Continue reading “We Call It Getting Scamp’d”
I am very pleased to announce that the Kickstarter campaign to print DREAMER, the fourth and final book of Snout’s search for the legacy of Dominic Deegan, reached its funding goal over the weekend! I’ve mentioned this before but I’ll say it again: this campaign had me extra nervous, both because of how strange and … Continue reading “A Fully Funded Kickstarter!”
The Kickstarter campaign to print DREAMER, the fourth and final book of Snout’s dreamquest, is going great! As of this writing it is 87% funded with just under two weeks remaining! The momentum has been solid and I remain optimistic! But there’s always a battle to be fought against crowdfunding discouragement, even when things are … Continue reading “Kickstarter Success and Discouragement”
Like the title of today’s blog says, AwesomeCon was a humbling weekend for yours truly, but not without its disclaimers and reflections. Let’s get the humbling part out of the way first. I spent much of AwesomeCon weekend feeling invisible while watching Garth make sales of his new comic book, A Polycule of Mars. Attendees … Continue reading “A Humbling Weekend with Several Disclaimers”
It should come as no surprise that this and almost every blog post for the next month is going to be about the Kickstarter campaign to print DREAMER, the fourth and final book of Snout’s adventure. Because when you’re crowdfunding this is what you have to do. The response so far has been wonderful. As … Continue reading “Kickstarter This, Kickstarter That”
