This weekend Owly and I will be attending two wonderful festivals in our own backyard! On Friday, Saturday, and Monday we’ll be among the thousands upon thousands in downtown Atlanta, Georgia attending the always overwhelming and entertaining convention known simply as, Dragon*Con! If you can find your way through the costumes and craziness to Artists Alley, be sure to stop by and say hi!
And on Sunday we’ll be at the exciting Decatur Book Festival in lovely downtown Decatur, Georgia! There will be tons of authors there, including Mutts author, Patrick McDonnell! With so many talented writers and illustrators attending, there’s sure to be something for everyone! I’ll be doing a presentation and teaching how to draw Owly from 2:00-2:30pm on the Target Children’s Stage. The rest of the time you’ll be able to find me set up with Top Shelf at booth 262 along with Robert Venditti. I’ll be signing books and doing sketches, so come on out and enjoy the sun, it’s going to be awesome! :)

Yep! It’s true! In the next two weeks Owly and I will be visiting not just one, but BOTH coasts of the United States! First, Owly and I are heading down to the east coast to sunny Miami to visit six branches of the wonderful Miami-Dade Public Library System! On Thursday, we’ll be at Country Walk and West Kendall, on Friday we’ll be at South Dade and North Shore, and on Saturday we’ll be at Coral Gables and Miami Lakes! If you’re in the Miami area be sure to come on down and see us. We’ll be talking about Owly, comics and graphic novels, silent storytelling, showing you how to draw like a professional and even teaching you how to draw our favorite little round bird and all of his pals! It’s gonna be awesome! :D We’ll make a short stop home for an awesome Comics Camp at Little Shop of Stories and then…
It’s off to the west coast and The San Diego Comic-Con! There you’ll be able to find Owly and me at the Top Shelf booth (Booth #1721) along with Robert Venditti, Matt Kindt, Alex Robinson, Jeremy Tinder, Christian Slade, Andy Hartzell, Jeff Lemire, David Yurkovich, Jose Villarrubia, Eddie Campbell, Jeffrey Brown, and many more wonderful members of the Top Shelf family! I’ll be signing books, selling, shirts, hats, toys, buttons, doing “Owly As…”sketches, and have original Owly pages for sale! See you on the coasts! :D
