Hello beautiful spork fans with fantastic taste in art!! Yeah, I'm talkin to you! :D
I'm going to be at WonderCon in Anaheim this coming weekend, March 29-31. Wooo!!!  [link]
I'll be sharing an Artist Alley table with my buddy and swell artist, Richard Garcia :iconirongiant775:  facebook:  [link]  
We'll be selling some of our lovely prints, sketchbooks and draw some commission sketches.... with our hands!!!   And to sweeten the offer, with every item you buy we'll throw in a FREE high five and/or awkward hug!

With Disneyland being next door, I may even accept challenges to Toy Story Midway Mania or Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. (note: challengers must be of the sporting sort and able to endure my possible victory dance)

Hope to see you there! :D

Yeah yeah... I know Halloween is over, but if you're a hardcore fan of that time of the year, it doesn't matter :)
This year I scared at the Knott's Berry Farm theme park for the Halloween season.
The theme for this year was all about the Green Witch. Her and her little tricksters would roam the entire park terrorizing whoever they please and doing whatever they want, even go into any maze in the park.
The maze I scared at was called Trick or Treat, which was the Green Witch's house. The monsters inside would be of the classic costumes from back in the day; Devil, black cat, sheet ghost, Frankenstein's monster, clown, pig, skeleton, etc. I was classic Dracula :) I would get tons of Twilight comments thrown my way on a nightly basis, but the amount of terrified screams and tears we'd get from the guests would make it all worth it. The best scares would be from the ones that just collapse to the floor :D

Here's a flow through of our maze from Theme Park Adventure:

and here's an excellent review from them:

It's that awesome time of the year again kids!  HALLOWEEN!!!  Bring on the scary amusement park mazes, candy corn that no one eats, turn up the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack and pumpkin flavored everything!
Speaking of scary mazes, I'm going to be a monster again at Knott's Halloween Haunt for my second year!  Here's the commercial for it:

Last year I was a zombie farmer at the Cornstalkers maze.  You can check out the Cornstalker maze walk through here:

I pop out at 3:35 :) This year I'll be at a new maze called Trick or Treat.  I don't want to say what monster I am because friends will try to talk to me while I'm trying to scare, but I'll definitely be interacting with everyone that goes through that maze.  Muwahahaha!!

If you and your friends are going to Knott's for this Halloween season, I recommend you check out this other new maze called Trapped.  The maze takes 25-30 min to complete and each group has a designated time slot to go into it so it will be just your group in the maze that all the monsters give their attention to.  There will be a series of rooms that your group must enter with the doors locking behind you and the only way to proceed is to do certain tasks the monsters tell you to do.... one of them I hear is that you must eat specific things even  I don't know what they are.  The maze is said to be so discomforting that they make you and your friends sign a waver at the beginning and they also provide you with a safe word if the experience is just too much for you to handle.  Now onto the the downside of this maze.  There's a separate fee you must pay to go through this maze.  But for what it is, it's pretty cheap.  For  a group of 10 people I believe they'll charge $60.  You do the math.

This Saturday 9-22-12, I'll be at Frank and Son Collectible Show with my own booth selling some prints and possibly taking commission sketches.  [link]
It's a bi weekly free comic convention in the City of Industry.  This is where I go when I have Comi Con withdrawls :)

Hope to see you at Knott's Halloween Haunt and Frank and Sons!

Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween month!

Hey there Spork fans!
This weekend, September 15 and 16, i'll be at Stan Lee's Comikaze!!  Booth number 323. [link]
I'll be selling prints and doodling some commission sketches along with my partner in crime :iconirongiant775:  Fellow do gooders and swell artist :iconcuddlycapes: will also be attending the event.  
Why should you go to this con, even if you're not a fan of my work, you say??  Well howz about the Zombie Apocalypse obstacle course!?!?!?!!  Not a fan of zombies?  Well i'm sure you're a fan of Adam West a.k.a Batman and mayor of Quahog from Family Guy.  If you're as big of an Elvira fan as me then you'll find lots of enjoyment in the Elvira Movie Macabre Museum!  Now if you got that Comikaze tattoo last year that gets you in the con for free, then you have no excuse not to go! :D
So come on by, have fun and feel free to stop on by and say howdy to me......... and bring money! (Monopoly money, bottle caps, seashells and pogs will not be accepted as currency unfortunately)

Just recently saw Batman Live [link]
I had my doubts about it but i found it plenty entertaining and well done for what it was.  It has Schumacher visuals to it all but it works very well for the stage and for the young demographic it aims to please.  Though Batman's story has been retold over and over, they do a successful job at still making it interesting and painless.  
All of Batman's major villains make an appearance, but like always, the Joker stands out from the crowd.  The actor that played the Joker, when I watched it, was successfully able to depict his own version of the mad clown without having to emulate previous portrayals of him.  Along with the Joker, Harley Quinn was present and was equally enjoyable to watch in action.  From the way she calls the Joker "puddin" to how she walks around the stage on her tip toes with a giant mallet in hand.
Batman Live has the potential of being something great on the Broadway level if things were a bit more fine tuned.  Till then it is still an enjoyable show to see for all Batman fans. :)

Sláinte!

Aaaaargh!! Fellow artist CallMePo :iconcallmepo: got banned from deviantart!
I was an avid watcher of his and was sad at the thought of not being able to see his work on here anymore.  Now i'm sure his drawing themes wasn't a preference for everyone, but there's nothing more saddening and frustrating than not being able to express yourself.

Details as to why he got banned and what you can do to support him, here: [link]

Too lazy to read that link??
Well show your support by posting or faving this image to spread awareness that he got banned.
If he should remain banned (hopefully not) you can still check out his work on his Tumblr account under the same name: Callmepo


You may have already seen other journal postings on this subject and it may be a bit spammy, but please do not vent out your annoyance by commenting something unnecessary.  
Just have a Cinnabon and carry on with your day :)

On May 12, this Saturday, i'm going to have my very first artist alley table at a convention! [link]
I'll be sharing a table with my good friend, and swell artist to boot, Richard Garcia :iconirongiant775:  It'll be his first time too :)  
Yaaaay!!! Artist Alley virgins!!

We kinda signed up a wee bit too late for a table so we're kinda in the lobby of the convention under the name: Jon Abe Rich, table# 2008

We'll be selling prints, sketchbooks and if asked nicely, we'll even draw some commission sketches!

So if you're attending, feel free to swing on by and say hello so we can meet our awesome watchers in person and forget your names then remember who you are when you show us your avatar picture!! :D :D

Please feel free to follow me! [link]

It always feels like going to a new school whenever i sign up for a new, blog or social network site.  You have new surroundings, new way to do things, and little to no friends at the start.
Then there's the school bully you got to watch out for...... stupid trolls!

Not sure how i feel about it myself yet.  Got any opinions about it folks?
