Art day!
The two Geof Isherwood drawings I purchased arrived today. Très magnifique, as they say in Montreal, where Mr. Isherwood resides. As awesome as the scans look, they really only hint at the detail this artist puts into his work. Isherwood's line work is truly incredible.
Incidentally, Geof's art rep at Empyreal Press is a gem to work with, especially given that her commission on these two pieces couldn't be all that much given what I paid for them. Friendlier and more efficient customer service you will not find anywhere, especially in the art world, where folks aren't always famous for their business and people skills.
If you're a comic art fan, go check out the Geof Isherwood Gallery and admire some of his other works. And if you feel inclined to make a purchase, I'm sure you'll be taken care of expeditiously.
I consider the success of this transaction a sterling example of U.S.-Canadian synergy. The art dealer mailed this package on Friday in Montréal via Canada Xpresspost (the Northland's equivalent of Priority Mail), and it arrived in California today. Now if we could just work out a deal for legal import of Canadian pharmaceuticals, we'll be getting somewhere.

Speaking of art, have you been to Comic Con down in San Diego?
I never have, Josh, though I've thought about it for years. My challenge is that I burn most of my resources (both fiscal and spousal) for personal travel on several chorus-related trips to competitions each year. I have one coming up this weekend, in fact. I've not yet been able to rationalize the expense (both fiscal and spousal) of another trip for myself alone (given that my wife, who has never opened a comic book in her life, would have no interest whatever in accompanying me to a con) just to go to a comics convention.
However, I am going to try and attend at least one day of WonderCon in San Francisco (right in my back yard) next February. My wife's birthday is the 19th, so Saturday will be spoken for, but I might be able to sneak away for the Friday program. We'll see.
