BIRTHDAY BLUES AND REDS...

I had a nice lunch out at Your Pie with my dad and brother. We stopped off for a DQ dessert after. Not a bad birthday even though it's my first without mom here to join us, which bummed me out more than a little bit this morning.

I capped the lunch off by buying myself a present. I picked up Avengers: Infinity War on Blu Ray and plan to enjoy it tonight after I get some writing done.

A BIG THANK YOU!

I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone who took the time to wish me a happy birthday. Although there was no way I could reply to them all, I did, in fact, read each and every one.

Thanks again.

BOBBY JOINS VIEWS FROM THE LONGBOX FOR SUPERHERO ANNIVERSARIES 2015!

Flashback to last year's Dragon Con! Join host Michael Bailey, Joe Crowe, Bobby Nash and Philip Schweier as we talk about the birthdays of some very special heroes on the latest Views From The Longbox podcast.

Give it a listen here.

Episode 218: "Live" From DragonCon...The Superhero-Versary

This time out I am presenting the audio from the panel I moderated at DragonCon back in September of 2015.  For the second year in a row Joe Crowe and Gary Mitchel (the directors for the American Sci-Fi Classics track at DragonCon) invited me to not only be on some panels but moderate one that was all about the 75th anniversaries of a handful of DC characters.  Joining me on this panel were Joe Crowe (he of the RevCast and the RevolutionsSF website), Bobby Nash (award winning author) and Philip Schweier (of ComicBookBin.com).  For a little over an hour we talked about the heroes hitting the big 7-5 in 2015 including Robin The Boy Wonder, Captain Marvel, the Jay Garrick Flash, the Alan Scott Green Lantern, the Spectre, the Al Pratt Atom, the Joker and...someone else.  After going through the presentation I put together the audience got involved and some great conversations about the characters broke out.

This panel was a lot of fun to moderate an I had a ball putting together the PowerPoint presentation which you can view in PDF form by clicking on this link.  

I'd like to take a moment to thank Joe Crowe and Gary Mitchel for having me be a part of the American Sci-Fi Classics family.  They have made DragonCon fun for me again and I appreciate them letting me play in their sandbox.  

Be sure to check out the links associated with the people on this panel too.  Because they're awesome.

CELEBRATE THE KING OF COMICS’ BIRTHDAY AND HELP OUT SOME HEROES-- KIRBY 4 HEROES AT BORDERLANDS SATURDAY, AUGUST 29TH

Jack Kirby and a few of his friends.

I don't sketch often, but when I do, it’s for a good cause.

Along with artists far more talented than me, I will be sketching for charity on Saturday August 29th at Borderlands Comics and Games for the Kirby4Heroes event to benefit the Heroes Initiative in Greenville, SC. I hope you'll join us. Also, if you've never been to Borderlands Comics and Games before, you're in for a treat. This is a great store run by my friend, Robert Young. It is definitely worth a visit. You won't be disappointed.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Bobby

I have great creative friends. Check out the above two pieces of artwork sent my way today courtesy of J.R. Mounts and Mark Wright. Thanks, guys! I love 'em! By the way, I'm totally going to write these books now.  :)

I'd also like to thank everyone for the kind birthday wishes across the various social medias today. Although it was impossible to respond to all of them personally, I did read each and every one and they were all appreciated, each and every one.

Writing is such a solitary job and sometimes it is easy to forget how many people I know and interact with on a regular basis. Today was definitely a reminder. I love it.

I'm a very lucky boy.
