Great event, friendly and enthusiastic crowd. I might write more about it at sevenartland.com/blog, but not anytime soon. The recent sharp influx of events with tight deadlines have been rather dizzying: there’s Komik Asia at House of Sampoerna tomorrow 6pm too, featuring Benny & Mice. Wind Rider and I will be there, say hi if you’re around.

Mal Galaxy, 6 - 8 June 2008. I’ll be selling SPLASH and delivering some (hopefully entertaining) presentations as part of CASS and SBALS for the highlighted events.

T.Wolv came to the rescue by drawing just the right characters and pose, I did the colouring & pallette variations, again she perfected the colouring, and voilà:

Drag anyone interested in making comics, manga, maqita, whatever — those incorrigible cousins, nephews, grandmas, great-great grandniece twice removed of yours — to Jl. A. M. Sangaji 48, Jakarta 10130. We might even have some two-week-old nasi kuning leftovers (t’was very tasty though). Don’t worry, I’m not teaching.

Will be at Togamas Pucang Anom tomorrow 11 am for Curhat Tita roadshow.
