MeCAF is such a nice convention. It was low key and pleasant and offered great meet-up opportunities for all the creatives involved. A huge thank you to Rick Lowell for all that he did and for bringing together such a fabulous show! And big thank you to my table mate Michael Rapa! It was good sharing space with you.
Rock on for Casablanca Comics!
Here are the Octo-Pus in Boots collected throughout the day, and one from MICE.

It has also happened again, I got a submission from Dave Roman as well but, no picture! I will have to find him at another convention.
It was a great weekend and it continues as we read through the haul we brought home:
I want to give a shout out to Elenore Toczynski loving her books!

Well I was really hoping to have art to post yesterday and now today. It just isn’t happening. I think it is time I succumb to the fact that I am moving to California in about 35 days and am going to have to shift my focus from making art to packing up my life.
Folks I am moving to the Bay Area of California, San Jose, in under two months and you might not see a lot from me between now and when I am settled!
We are going from a 2000 sq ft house to a 2 room efficiency while we transition into more permanent housing. I am needing to decide what art materials are can’t-live-without and which ones I can leave in storage for a time. My mind is racing at a steady speed of 100 mph. We also are going to pass on a lot of our house hold wares. We are seeing this as a marvelous opportunity to pair down. Our first load went off to a donation center yesterday, 20 boxes worth! We are certain we have at least 20 more.
Then if moving isn’t enough there are still a few other ventures I am involved in until the move.
1) MECAF this weekend! Many of us from Fanartica will be participating stop by our tables.
2) Another Animals in Alphabet Sale should be underway in June. More details to come.
3) I am working with a vendor to make the Animals in Alphabet available as Vynl Wall Decals. How cool is that!?
Then of course transitioning from NESCBWI. I am going to dearly miss working with such a wonderful region. Thank you New Englanders for making my time volunteering for NESCBWI such a great experience!
Now I need to get back to work and also accept that I am 30! today!

Sorry for my delay in writing up what happened at MoCCA. I have just been so busy reading all of the comics I got while there!
I had a great time at MoCCA. My table mates Ellen T. Crenshaw, Shanon Weltman and Ray Jones, were phenomenal and we made great friends with our neighbor Jonathan Baylis.
The list of incredible artists we made connections with is mind boggling. MoCCAFest and Drink and Draw Like a Lady created wonderful atmospheres for us to be able to share and chat about our art and get it in front of our fans. A couple of folks that I didn’t get Octo-Pus in Boots from this year but, was very happy to see again were Laura Lee, Jannie Ho, Doreen Marts, Becky Munich, Gareth Hinds, Stephanie Yue, Colleen AF Venable and Emma SanCartier.
And then the artists that I chatted with featured with their contributions of Octo-Pus in Boots!
