Until this year, I had never been to a comic con as an attendee, much less as a vendor. The largest event I’d ever vended at was Texas Furry Fiesta this April with 8650 attendees, and it went quite well. While Fan Expo doesn’t seem to keep such exacting figures, I’ve read estimates of upContinue reading “The Big One: Fan Expo Dallas”

Plans for June
May was a very long, very busy month. It began with Harry’s Hay Days in Grandview and ended with Fan Expo in Dallas (more on that later this week). In between, I made some great progress on my Knights of Aralia series (if not enough for my liking) and laid some plans for the future.Continue reading “Plans for June”
Fan Expo Coming Up!
Greetings all! As some of you may be aware, I’ll be vending behind the Bluedrake Books table in the Artist Alley at Fan Expo in Dallas, TX this weekend (Booth A711, to be precise). If you happen to be in the area, I invite you to come on in and see all the amazing shows,Continue reading “Fan Expo Coming Up!”
Harry’s Hay Days…Not Mine
Last Saturday, I vended at my first outdoor event of the year (and yes: my first outdoor event since the disasters of October): Harry’s Hay Days in Grandview, Missouri. It was not a disaster, but nor did it compare to the glowing success of my first street fair a year ago.
Plans for May
This April was about what I expected after the high point that was March. The first week was consumed with preparations for my excursion to TFF, the second week with the trip itself, and the last couple trying to reorganize myself. May is going to be one heck of a comeback–at least if I haveContinue reading “Plans for May”
Harry’s Hay Days
Happy Monday to everyone! Hope your week is off to a good start. Just wanted to remind everyone that I will be at Harry’s Hay Days on Main St. in Grandview, MO from 10A.M. to 4P.M. on Saturday, May 3rd. Look for the Bluedrake Books banner. As usual, I’ll be offering some special deals toContinue reading “Harry’s Hay Days”
When Inspiration Strikes
We all know the feeling. We could be going about our daily lives, doing nothing out of the ordinary when suddenly it happens. What triggers it could be any number of things: something we hear on the radio, a dream, or simply the workings of our subconscious mind. Whatever the cause, inspiration can strike anywhereContinue reading “When Inspiration Strikes”
Return to Dallas: TFF 2025
Last weekend, I returned to Texas Furry Fiesta, once again entering the Artist Alley lottery on a day by day basis, since I was once again not accepted ahead of time. This was my first time ever coming back to a venue I have sold at before, which makes for some interesting comparisons.
Plans for April
March turned out to be a very productive month, both personally and professionally. The latter included progress on a couple of projects (if not as much as I would have liked), reaching 50 outstanding submissions (which I’ve not managed in years!), and of course, attending the local Luck & Laughter vending event right here inContinue reading “Plans for April”
Luck & Laughter?
This past Saturday (March 15th), I attended the first Luck & Laughter shopping event at the Sonesta Select Hotel in Kansas City, Missouri on behalf of Bluedrake Books. And to put it plainly…it was a bit of a dud. Why and how this happened I shall try to dissect below.
