Thanks guys for comin out to yesterday's livestream sessions!

Small technical problems aside they've been a great success thanks to you :). Hope I can do another one like this again sometime soon.

Hey everybody,

Got a new webcam and a new broadcasting format to test out.  I'll be drawing random Mass Effect-ish things on livestream this afternoon at 1PM est!

If all goes well I may hold another session in the evening for those of you who missed the earlier broadcast.

Here's the livestream link - livestream.com/axl99

So FanExpo, which was a month ago, was pretty awesome in the sense I had no trouble getting in or out of the venue to eat. Table neighbours Mark Brooks and Alex Milne have been very chill and gracious with small things like swapping bills for coins and lending sharpies. Met a bunch of old con buddies I haven't seen in FOREVER. It's been a whirlwind of drawing commissions, playing multiplayer demos from Uncharted 3 and Assassin's Creed Revelations, and catching up with friends.

After that, WORKWORKWORKWORKWORK.

Now that the Toronto Film Festival was underway, I had the pleasure of meeting Holly Conrad from Crabcat Industries for the premiere screening of a documentary called "Comicon IV: A Fan's Hope". For those of you who don't know her, she and her friends made these ridiculously awesome animatronic masks of Grunt and Wrex from Mass Effect - that you can find on youtube. She's one of the most well-grounded people I've met by far, and genuinely funny to boot.

Also at the screening was Marvel legend Stan Lee. Who we all met at the afterparty. Playing ping pong.

I think my head fell off.

All in all I had an amazing weekend, and am now packing for a week-long sabbatical in Montreal. Apparently there's a Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit at their art museum.

... I am so there.

:star::star: t.co/UsOWYVy - Table P46! :star::star:
This is where I be sittin at the show! Do stop by and say hello if you're in the area.


No really, do stop by! I've got a buncha quality prints I'm putting up for discount because they're taking up way too much space in my room and they all need happy homes.

[EDIT:] I'll be giving out a bunch of a la carte print sets at FanExpo. After that, the rest goes INTO THE RECYCLING BIN NEVER TO BE SOLD AGAIN. REPEAT, NEVER TO BE SOLD AGAIN.

I'll also be doing sketches at the show:
$5 for straight pencils
$10 for pencils and greyscale copics

Hope to see you guys there!

Just in case you guys don't find me at the table on Saturday morning/early afternoon, I'll be comin in a bit late from a classmate's wedding. Chances are I'll still be in a formal dress for the rest of the day. So in case you needed to know why your eyeballs melted in your skulls that very day, that's why.

These days I've been pretty swamped with work at a new studio. Not much I can say about the projects I move around on other than how I'm either doing illustrations one day then 3d modeling the next and maybe a hint of compositing here and there. While the only catch is having to be a quick learner with things I'm not familiar with, the good thing is I'm never bored.

Lots of sweet events coming up in Toronto next week:

Video Games Live concert
YES... HELL... YES.....

Free Comic Book Day
Which coincidentally takes place at the same time as -

TCAF
Totally going as a customer, will walk around to say hello to people I know. The TCAF website also has a helpful list of restaurants around the area in case you want grub or something to sate your foodie obsessions.

In my free time, games own my life. There's like a bajillion games I have on Steam I haven't finished playing through yet and I keep getting more. In between waiting for more Dragon Age 2 story based DLC and Mass Effect 3, amongst other games, I suppose I could use the distraction.

Finished Portal 2 by the way, despite my FPS allergies. It was funnnnnnnnn.
