Next week is the start of June and the one month countdown to the release of my graphic novel. You will probably get an earful about it from everywhere you go and starting next week I will be blogging about the book showing off first drawings and the evolution of things so you can get a good idea of what I got done in the last seven years. June will be a ridiculously busy month of travel for me as well. Here is a list of events that I will be attending....
