Living in Seattle, I should be ashamed of this. But here’s the shocking, tabloid-worthy truth: I don’t drink coffee.
Never have. And it’s too bad. ‘Cause I hear wonderful things about the power of Demon Caffeine.
I’m not one of those people who spring out of bed at the break of day–a song on my lips–ready to make the world a better place.
If I drank coffee, though, maybe I’d be…perky. Maybe I’d write faster. Maybe I’d be a better person. Maybe I’d have even have come up with a clever way to end this.
But I don’t drink coffee. So I didn’t.
I’m thankful almost beyond words to be home from the Portland Comic Book Show. (Great convention, but lousy weather the next day.)
It was a treacherous 11-hour drive to Seattle (normally takes three!) through a snow storm with 70 mph wind gusts and conditions that made driving two miles-per-hour seem like speeding.
I’m especially thankful to my sister and brother-in-law (Lisa and Richard Hernandez.) Rich drove the whole way (except for a scary 15 minutes–more about that another time.)
When it proved impossible to make it all the way to home to Shelagh in North Seattle, Lisa and Rich put me up for two days at their home on Mercer Island.
So–thankful? You bet.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
This is the first of two images that I did for this year’s Wonder Woman Day (Oct. 24, 2010) auction–benefiting shelters for victims of domestic violence.
I double-matted and signed the print. No other copies will be offered for sale anywhere. So if you want it, bid on it quick! (The auction version does not include my logo or the art credit. At the bottom it simply says “Wonder Woman Day 2010.”)
A live auction will be taking place Oct. 24 at Comics Fusion in Flemington, NJ. But you can submit a proxy bid via e-mail through Oct. 23.
On Wednesday, I’ll be posting my contribution (another Wonder Woman print) for the West Coast (Portland, OR) version of the auction which also benefits domestic violence victims.
There are many wonderful pieces of art being offered for this benefit. I encourage you to check them all out here!
Remember, kids! Getting turned on by fruit, vegetables or small household appliances doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. But we’ll punish you anyway–just to play it safe!
