Wondercon 2010
My first convention of the year is coming up quick...It begins this Friday to be exact! You can find the Bumperboy booth in Artist Alley at table #AA30. I'll have the usual books and merchandise for sale, as well as some of my hand-crafted needle-felted figures. Oh yeah, and the NEW BOOK! More on the new book later in this newsletter...

Thrilling Comics For Kids!
Sunday, APRIL 4
3:00-4:00pm
ROOM 232/234
Comics created specifically for the younger set are one of the fastest-growing parts of the industry. Creators and industry insiders discuss the current state of the field, including Nathan Hale (Rapunzel's Revenge), Jennifer Holm (Babymouse), Debbie Huey (Bumperboy), Jann Jones (editor, VIZ Media), Ethan Nicolle (Axe Cop), Dan Santat (The Domesticated Four), Traci Todd (senior editor, VIZ Kids), and Eric Wight (Frankie Pickle).
NEW Book: Pictonese Lessons
It's been a long time since I've come out with a new Bumperboy story due to wrist problems among other things, but I had fun getting back into drawing again! This new minicomic is called "Pictonese Lessons" and it features Bumperboy and the gang learning how to talk in pictures like Bumperpup. Will anyone succeed in saying their first picto? Find out in this silly story!

Maker Faire 2010
Recently I found out that I've been accepted to exhibit at the Bazaar Bizarre at Maker Faire in San Mateo, CA on May 22-23! Maker Faire is a huge expo about celebrating people who make stuff, whether it is in technology, science, art, or craft. The Bazaar Bizarre is like a craft show within the larger Faire, but it's a great place to see the latest in independent crafters. This will be my first time exhibiting at a craft show, so I am curious how the craft audience will respond to the comics in my booth! I'm excited to find out.

And that is all for now, Bumperfriends. Hope to see you at Wondercon this weekend!
