August is always a busy month around here.  I did manage to squeeze in an art class on how to paint with acrylic on canvas, though. The class was very basic, nothing fancy.

The San Diego International Comic-Con starts tomorrow!  My four-day badge is in hand.  I'm looking forward to all of the panels on art, artists & promotion, as well as some of my favorite T.V. shows and upcoming movies, PLUS all of the great art out on the vendor floor.  :)

Oh, and lets not forget -- waiting in LONG lines to get in to some of those panels (a.k.a. the perfect opportunity to draw).
