Descriptions added to Portfolio
Tuesday, November 18, 2008 at 04:53PM 
I've made a few general maintenance changes to the site. My favorite improvement are the descriptions in my portfolio section. Much of the art now has a title and a brief description of the piece. Also included in the description is a link to Flickr.com, where images can be shared, commented on, or "favorited".
Here's a link to the Art Section of my site.
Heh, Comments!

Monday, November 3, 2008 at 05:23PM Thank you to all of the fine folks who made it out for APE, despite the weather-hangover-electionjitters-economy-etc. You are all gold. It all went by so fast. The only thing I ended up buying was All-Star Superman at the Isotope party on Saturday. I'm sure I would have spent all my money on the floor if I had left my table. Just about everyone I talked with was impressed with the level of quality stuff at APE this year. So many talented people were representing their artwork. It's scary and completely invigorating. Thanks for raising the bar, jerks!
Special thanks to Scott Beale (of Laughing Squid fame) for stopping by for my annual "Josh at his table" APE photoshoot. Here I am, through the ages, as chronicled by the main tentacle himself:

I'll be working the table once again at the Alternative Press Expo this weekend at the Concourse Exhibition Center in San Francisco.
Look for me at table #113. I'll be selling lots of new prints, art books and sketches. Hope to see some of you there.
