Sorry guys, I really need to update more. We just finished up Anime Cenral 2008. It's about the 7th year I've attended and the 3rd time we've done the artist alley. We had a few things to complain about last year with the registration fiasco, the low traffic on Friday, and the odd 'fenced off' nature of the entire artist alley. But this year they did some crazy voodoo magic on the registration process which moved all of the attendees through the lines and out to our tables in record speed It had to be our best opening day sales-wise and we broke both our records for ACEN and Anime Iowa last year

Commission requests were especially strong this year as I did more at-con requests than I've ever done before--another first Thanks to everyone that chose me--it was a BIG alley with a LOT of high caliber talent, and it makes this artist feel good knowing that he was still picked out among the crowd. And I couldn't have managed the hustle and bustle by myself--nearly all non-drawing PR was handled by my lovely wife Miss! She's the lovely manager and accountant for Radiant Grey

I got a huge queue of take-home requests lined up and I need to juggle all of it with moving into my new house, work, and everything else that's waiting for me when we get back home (we're still in the hotel at Chicago as of 9:40pm Sunday...that's another first! We just decided getting a good night's sleep would make the trip and homecoming chores more bearable).

I desperately need to figure out how to dress up my journal window here with headers, footers, commission information/status and the whole nine-yards. Basically, I need to take a trip into the FAQs section. 9__9

Cheers and thanks again to everyone we met at ACEN!
