This and That

So back when I was in Motor City Comic Con, a guy came up to my table and was like "I'll write an article about you if you draw me with a penguin."  Here's the drawing, which he absolutely adored, and here's the article!  http://annecarlini.com/ex_interviews.php?id=1309  Sometimes the bartering system DOES work!  Interview by Russell Trunk of Exclusive Magazine.

Ah last time I blogged it was about Special Edition, which was great!  My friend and fellow cartoonist Warner helped man my table when I couldn't be there on Sunday.  I took a bus, then cab across town (cabs were hard to catch at the west end... maybe this is a sign I should get Uber) to draw at the annual FD Day for a few hours.  FD is short for Familial Dysautonomia, and I draw a weekly comic strip for their organization.  I was even drawing and eating on the cab on the way back to Pier 94 - a super busy day!  But I like the excitement.

Haven't posted in awhile because the current apartment hunt has been such a time sucker!  Literally every single night this month, Molly and I have been going to Brooklyn for hours.  The sequel is practically writing itself.  I think the end is in sight though.

MCCC was awesome, and hey it's Memorial Day Weekend!

Usually I draw people with more natural features, but upon request I can do caricatures and exaggerate them!  These women loved their portraits!

It seems like I've done so much in the past 3 weeks I can't believe it!  My midwest tour was pretty successful, and I'd like to do it each year!  The Motor City Comic Con was awesome, and I think Russell Trunk of Exclusive Magazine reviewed it best!  It was great exhibiting in my home state and seeing lots of friends I hadn't seen in ages.  I snuck out from my table on Friday to see Billy Boyd's talk and laughed so much my face hurt!  OMG on Saturday though it took about 45 minutes to drive like 1 mile to get into the convention because of the traffic!  This was my first time driving to a comic con, but now I know to get there super crazy extra early :/

I'm not even exaggerating here.  Due to fog, all the NYC flights were cancelled and all the bags went into one baggage claim carousel.  I should've taken a picture. 

Luckily I had family to stay with when an emergency like this left me stranded in Chicago!

And Happy Memorial Day weekend!  Bar-B-Q it to the MAX!
