Ahhh i missed it....i was so busy with work and events this year that i totally missed out on my annual Halloween DA piece, sorry guys. Thanks much for the watches and fav's anyhow...I'll make it up to ya next year.

General Happenings....
____________________
Halloween was a lot of fun! Friday i got to go to my daughters school Halloween party. painted some really cool and scary faces on the kids and joined in the costume parade. We were all zombies of sorts, and we get into character which creeped out a lot of kids Then on Halloween we joined up with our good friends the Boudries along with Tony Parker and his wonderful girl Devan and we trick or treated so hard we shook the pillars of heaven....for candy of course. Then it was back to my place for bonfire and chili with good ole scary flicks and a cadre or good friends.....good times, I'll have pictures up on SKULLJAMMER.COM [link] shortly.

CONVENTIONS & EVENTS
____________________
Coming up this Saturday November 7th is the Tucson Comic con [link] is happening In Tucson Arizona and this one guys is absolutely free to attend. So come down and lets get Nerdy together.Spazdog Comics [link] is sponsoring Terry Tibke and myself to be there (Ryan Cody unfortunately had some last minute work preventing his attendance). Tucson seems to be pulling out all the stops for this one and by the sounds of the comic community there its gonna be an exciting show. I'll be set up with personal Sketch cards for sale and I'll also be doing sketches for donations to the CBLDF So please come out and say hi.

And later this month i do believe the Phoenix Comicon will be starting up some events to promote the 2010 show, I'll keep y'all posted on that.

Also got word that the Wolverine 100 project covers through the HERO Initiative will be up for bidding on Ebay tomorrow, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bid generously because all proceeds go to the HERO Initiative, don't know what that is? then please take a look at this [link] and if you miss out on the auction don't fret because all of the covers will be collected into a very nice book and will be available in December, again all proceeds go to the HERO Initiative. More details here [link]

and here are some DeviantART folks who contributed some covers...
