On Otakon
Best weekend of sales ever.

Place was P-P-P-p-p-p-paaaaacked! As always, got to hang with friends and goof off bunches.

Made an important IHL business deal that will be hopefully fruitful both IHL product wise as well as personal growth wise.

Made one major realization: Need new products. People are coming up now and some have that chomping at the bit attitude I am jealous that Jennie of Devil's Panties sees frequently. The fan that comes up and says:
"What's new?"
"Oh nothin, how've you been?"
"No, I mean what are you selling that's NEW?"
"This and this."
"Sold."

I've started to see that glimmer in people's eye. It's fucking awesome. Sadly, all I had new this year was a $2 black and white book. I want/need another $5 color book done before next con season. (Starting February). I would LOVE the next Collection (Strips 101 - 200) to be ready... we'll see.

Now to work from 8 - 4 to make money to make IHL.

For the next few months... being great at IHL is all I want to do. I'm so focussed, I'm the fucking death star of webcomics.

You should get a whole buttload of fist-sized plain black balls.

I did God / Devil pillows briefly. I need someone who can help me mass produce them. Or at least produce small batches of them - say 10 - 25 at a time.

I'd LOVE to sell those regularly.

Once a decent template is made for the rounds, they'd be simple as hell (ha ha) to stuff. the only really complex part would be a consistent shape for Devil's horns.

I was willing to do it ages ago, but you never got me the specs and went to someone else *coughAshcough* to get it done without telling me. :p

I never HAD specs... she did it off the cuff. You want in? Have the time?

We can work something out.

I've had nothing but time for the last year +, bro, where've you been? ;)
Let me see about this potential painting gig, but I'll probably have some time. Let me know how you want it - size, type of fabric, and I'll figure out the rest.

Remember the fan art I gave you? Think that + resin = IHL Action Figures.

How hard would that be to make?

given that most of your designs are monochrome, one of the hardest steps goes flying out the window. But basically it's as follows:

- Get sculpts (quasi-done. You might want to get me to make slightly more perfect orbs).
- Dip sculpts into a pinkish goo and let sit for 48 hours
- Cut the goo carefully apart (only enough to pry out the sculpts and make for easy access to fill in the resin.
- Microwave the molds before each use.
- Pour in the resin
- five minutes later, pull out (that's what she said).
- Once you have enough ready to go, hit them with a round of primer, then a round of red or black or blue or what ever.

I'll go into more details or help you get the sculpts or even the molds done later. As in September later. Got something called OOOE to work on first.

Man, I'm still bitter I didn't go to Otakon. Everyone kept asking me at ConnectiCOn if I was going. Hopefully next year it'll happen.

Glad it was a success for ya!

Write a 50 page full color comic featuring a dot Cthulu...

=)

Then I won't have to.

I want holy shotglasses for my 21st to take with me to the bars.
Make it so, creator! Others will buy them as well, i'm sure!
