We’re thinking about moving our public artist-game hang out nights. Fill out the survey to help us pick the best time!

At the last 24 Hour-Comic day, i began a project with my friend and writing partner Zan Christensen.  It was a comic about bullying and one boy’s efforts to overcome it and although we didn’t finish it at the event, we did continue to work on it actually did a limited print-run to debut at this year’s Emerald City ComiCon.  Now we are trying to raise funds through Kickstarter.com to do a large, color print-run that will hopefully be published in time for San Diego ComiCon, through Northwest Press.com (Zan’s publishing concern.)

Well, now Zan and I have been named “Heroes of the Week” on Michael Hulshof-Schmidt’s “The Sollipsistic Me” blog site.  He writes about the comic and what it’s trying to accomplish in raising awareness about the issue of teen suicide because of bullying.  You can read more about it by following this link:

“Hero” is a bit of a strong word, but I certainly appreciate the recognition!
