San Diego Comic Con was a hit!

Sorry for the absence of any posts as of late. I've been busy unpacking, painting and trying to decorate my new house. Along with working and hanging out with the family.

Comic Con was a big success. I sold all the Gabby and Gator books and plushes. (If you'd like a copy of the GG book it's available at Lulu.com.) Thanks to all who stopped by and supported me. Most people were excited to see something new from me. Although there were a few Martin's Misdirection fans that left disappointed.

There were a few highlights worth mentioning.

The first being that I met someone from a literary agency and I'm working on turning the Gabby and Gator book into a graphic novel. I'll keep you posted as that progresses and things develop. I'm sure it will be a slow process with no guarantee of success. But I'm going to give it a shot and see what happens.

The second highlight was that I sold a Gabby sketch to Judd Apatow and his lovely wife. For those of you who don't know, Judd Apatow wrote 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked up. He's also the producer of Super Bad. That was pretty much my only star encounter and the only time I geeked out on someone. I felt ashamed afterwards. I'll have to post some pics later.

In other news I registered GabbyandGator.com. Don't go there just yet though. There's nothing at the moment. I'm working on a Gabby and Gator blog which the new address will point to in the future. The GG blog might follow the process of creating the GG Graphic Novel.

Next month I'll be rolling onto the second season of Wow Wow Wubbzy. I'm looking forward to that.

That's about it for now. I'll try and post some new artwork soon.
