Sergio and I will be doing a panel at WonderCon on Saturday afternoon at
3:30. It's called LOUDER THAN WORDS. The idea is that I'll be
interviewing him and throwing QUICK DRAW style challenges at him, and
he'll be answering my questions and challenges by drawing. He'll be
talking, too. It'll be an interesting experiment.
The reason we aren't doing QUICK DRAW there is that we've decided it
doesn't work with pads of paper, which is how we've usually done it at
Wondercon. It has to be with the projectors and this year, because of
tech problems, Wondercon can only set up one in the room. So we'll just
have Sergio on the one projector. We don't QUICK DRAW anywhere they
don't have multiple projectors so that the audience can see the artists
drawing.
The Thursday evening before WonderCon, we're doing QUICK DRAW at that
event in Santa Cruz I mentioned before. The players will be Sergio,
Scott Shaw!, Bill Morrison and Batton Lash. We'll have two projectors
there so we'll have Bill compete with Batton I think, then switch and
have Sergio and Scott compete. Or something like that.
In other news...
Sergio and I have not started work on GROO MEETS CONAN (or whatever it's
going to be called). Actually, we have a story but no art has been
commenced. Sergio will be teamed with another artist -- a real CONAN
illustrator who'll draw some pages -- and we're waiting for the guy we
want to be become available. So this book is still a long ways off.
The movie script is coming along fine. No other news there.
We have decided to discontinue our little service where we'll sign
comics or anything anyone mails to me with a stamped, self-addressed
envelope. It has led to too many problems with things getting allegedly
lost in the mail and people getting mad at us. From now on, we only
sign at conventions.
Sergio has been announced as a guest at the Motor City Comic Convention
in Detroit in May but I'm not 100% sure he's going. I don't have any
conventions planned before San Diego.
That is all for now.
