Convention this Weekend!
By Jamie Robertson on March 12th, 2009Posted In: conventions
I will be attending Stellarcon (as a representative on the NCWCCC) in High Point, NC this weekend. If you are in the area, please stop by. I will be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 13-15. Lots of geeky panels to attend if you are interested. I should be on a few of those, the ones about comics anyway. Other Clatchers attending will be Dan Johnson, Larry Holderfield, Mike Moon and Ursula Vernon.
If you are interested, here is the Stellarcon programming schedule.
Incidentally, Stellarcon originated from UNCG, where I attended college from 1982 - 1985 and met Chelsea. This will be my first time at Stellarcon as a guest.

Hi all,
Well, it was bound to happen. I got behind again. *sigh* Part of it was due to losing a couple of days due to problems w/ my foot and then we received a lovely snow storm (really), but it left us w/out power for a while. Anyway, instead of cluttering the story up w/ filler art, I thought I would post filler stuff here in the blog for whenever. COTC will return Friday.
The illustration of Chelsea was a drawing I did a while back, but never colored. I colored it in a trial version of Photoshop CS4. I like CS4, especially the ability to rotate the actual window, but it’s a bit sluggish. It seems that Adobe has linked the performance of Photoshop to graphics cards just like most video games. Not sure I’m crazy about that, but I’m still debating on upgrading. Again, COTC will be back Friday. Thanks!
A lot of people ask me where Sebastian came from. Technically, he is a composit of a lot of cats I have known, including a cat named Sebastian. But the main influence was this cat, Ragmuffin. Rag belonged to my aunt at Wrightsville Beach and she, the cat, was a beautiful ash gray kitty with a bit of a Siamese mix. She was the definition of aloof. Other adjectives that would describe her would have to include persnickety, testy, proper, and elegant. In other words, she was what most people would consider a typical cat. She hated people, but was never mean or spiteful and she lived 19 very laid back years. In case you wondered, now you know.
