I'm in LA! (And updates for November!)
🕑 Added 2018-11-02 05:04:07 +0000 UTC I'm in LA and it's warm and I love it.I'm out here for Patrecon tomorrow and Saturday, and next week I'll be in San Diego for the annual ISCA caricature convention! Will I see any of you here?
I was on the fence about doing ISCA this year because I'm devoting as much time as I can to writing this book... but I then figured it could only help me if I worked on the book out here, surrounded by some of the most amazing artists I know. So I signed up for a guest pass (no workshops, just drawing), and I'll be focusing on character design next week, while I have access to some artist pals who can give me good feedback.
Btw, now that #inktober is done, $5+ patrons get to see all of my character sketches, figure drawings, and probably more buildings (I like drawing buildings now?!), so if you want to keep seeing all of the art stuff, make sure you're in the $5 tier!
Patrecon was sort of a last-minute decision, but it's so close to the ISCA con, it seemed silly not to come. One very generous patron kindly covered the added expense (thank you!!!), and so, here I am.
I'm particularly stoked about listening to talks by three of my favorite Patreon creators - Caitlin Doughty (aka the Ask a Mortician mortician), Dr. Lindsey Doe (Sexplanations), and my old cartoonist pal Keith Knight. And if I'm not mistaken, Brad and Dave from ComicLab will be there, too!
Hey, one important note: since I started off slow with the story polls in October, I'm going to continue posting polls for ALL patrons through November as well. So you can continue to participate over the next month, no matter what tier you're pledging at. :)
And hey, thanks for chiming in on these polls! Patreon is usually crickets when it comes to interaction (you commenty-types know you get my utmost attention <3 ), so to see a couple hundred of you casting votes is a welcome surprise.
Now I have to come up with a lie for this flustered guy to pitch to the pretty cashier, hmmm...

Morbid but effective! π

Well you're already doing better than me! I'm pretty sure my "thank you" page that comes up when you first pledge is a picture of me and the cat that died two years ago. WOOPS.
Thanks so much for doing that! I'm thinking I can make it better, like maybe a drip email campaign for new patrons explaining how everything works. For now it's on the someday/maybe list!

(Ooohh I really like that I immediately got a link to your music as soon as I became your patron! Smart!)

Hey Brian!! I just noticed this message from you! It was great meeting you, too, and I did NOT notice us in the video! I'll have to go searching for it! Thanks for saying hey here so I could find you!!
Danielle Corsetto
Ppfft I only JUST saw this!!
Hey Danielle! It's been a week and I'm finally going through my notes from the conference. Just wanted to say hi and that I enjoyed talking with you! In fact, in the little PatreCon recap video you can see us chatting for like a second. I love what you're doing here and I'll be following!

No way! I just passed someone looking the spitting image of Lar deSouza, so thought I should check online in case I was missing something. Turns out, the ISO C++ Standards committee is meeting in the same hotel as the ISCA! If you can tolerate any Fanboying, it would be great to catch you over a lunch/dinner break - but totally understand that downtime is downtime if you need that private space to recharge - heaven knows we are going to be busy this week!
