MoCCA MADNESS!

So, I spent way too much money at MoCCA this weekend...


And those are just the books, not including the pole of mini-comics I got.

I also picked up a Skullboy figure from my buddy Jacob Chabot. Dark Horse published a collection of his "Mighty Skullboy Army" mini-comics, and also put out a vinyl figure of the main character, Skullboy.



Here he is on top of my DVD collection, along with MF Doom, a Kid Robot, and Batman.

I also picked up four pages of original art.

First up is an Evan Dorkin page from "Bill & Ted's Excellent Comic Books", page #17 from issue #12.

A Ryan Kelly page from Local (Issue #2 Page #12)



And the next two I picked up from people who are good friends of mine that I've known for years. I'm really happy to see them get some success recently, and I'm happy to own some of their pages.

First up is page #3 from Raina Telgemeier's second BabySitter's Club graphic novel, "The Truth About Stacy".



And the next one is very special to me, it's a page from Matt Loux's Oni Graphic Novel, "Sidescrollers". It's special because he drew me in the top panel (I have a running deal that if anyone draws me into a published comic book, I will buy that page), I'm the dude wearing the shirt that says "Pants".



The rest of my art collection can be seen here here

Next up: San Diego!

"To Boldly Color Where No Man Has Colored Before..."

So about a month ago, I attended my friends' Dave & Raina's Birthday/Housewarming Party. Dave had a couple of Star Trek: The Next Generation Coloring & Activity Books that he got at work that a few of us were lucky to take home. My roommate John is a major Trekkie, so I knew he would get a kick out of it.



So tonight was Star Trek Coloring Night!



"Will I Ever Get To Be Captain?" by John O'Hickey.

The Swedish Fish Aquarium Mistake.

I finished my Swedish Fish & Jell-O experiment last night too late to eat it. So, I let it sit in my fridge overnight, and dreamt about eating it all day at work. I came home to find this.



The fish started to get a white coating, and ended up become liquid-ish. I had about three spoonfuls before I had to throw out the whole thing.

Let's just say that if this was a good idea, someone would have done it before me.

Adventures in Jell-O.

I was feeling adventurous tonight, so I thought I would make Jell-O.



It was a boring Wednesday evening, so I came home, turned on the Yankee game, and cranked the Ben Folds.



Step 1: read the instructions.



My roommate Armando came home, and began to document my Jell-O making progress.



First, I followed the recipe the Jell-O people suggested on the back of the box.



Armando approves.



Into the fridge it goes.



And we wait. In the meantime, we decided to go to my parent's place to scavenge for food, and I picked up these guys.



They're awesome.

An hour later comes the secret ingredient.



SWEDISH FISH!



In go the fishies.



Armando took this photo.



And back in the fridge goes the Swedish Fish Aquarium.

3 hours later, the final product:



Yankees win, 7-2.
