I posted some pictures already on my MySpace page of some of the shit that took place at DragonCon. Once again, Dragon did not disappoint.
The wrestling did, though, but putting a hole in the wall with a chair tends to make con organizers rethink inviting them back again. Maybe, if they replace the piss-poor wrestling assholes with someone else, it’ll be some small time assholes with maybe, I don’t know, talent? And what the fuck does it take to use some goddamn props for these assholes? The best they can do is a box of Lucky Charms and a table that falls apart before they can pile someone through it? I am not impressed. Next year, I’m taking nerf bats, baking pans, and fucking cheese-graters.
Aside from that, and the fact that we weren’t able to get a room at the hotels where the con was held, forcing us to drive from a hotel by Turner Field to the con every morning through Atlanta freeway traffic. Always fun.

Two pages for no/fly/zone are penciled and one more inked. I want maybe five in all online before I go to AWA. AWA is an interesting con because I can no longer say that I’m really an avid anime watcher or manga reader. I just don’t anymore. Maybe I grew out of it? I still watch and read some stuff sometimes, but not to the level that I see some people go to when I’m there.
Nevertheless, I’ve been going to AWA since high school, and tradition is hard to break. I don’t get to see my pal Angel that often, so an excuse to go see her and check out some cool art is always a good reason for attending a con.

School’s well underway this semester. I’ve got three classes this time, and then with its successful completion, I’ll be free to take however many classes I wish. I expect to get my AA by the end of next year, if not sooner. After that, it’s all about moving on to an art school.
My friend Angel who’s pretty far along at SCAD tells me that, if I’m to go there, Visual Effects would be the prime major to go for, mixing art and programming and allowing an easier insertion into visual effects houses in either the video games or film industries. I am thoroughly intrigued. Gives me something to work toward.
stay dry in the storm season, kids.
