INATS & Colorado

Had a lovely trip out to Denver. My artist friend Sandra Santara was kind enough to show me around her local haunts. On our way to breakfast at a tasty Cajun joint in Boulder we stopped for a breath of fresh air at this lovely vantage point.
The recent rain made the wildflowers happy, and there was a glowing yellow spread of them carpeting the fields and leading up to the distant blue mountains.


Also took a brief detour to a neat little teahouse full of imported Mongolian decor. I found it interesting that the Mongolian motifs looked almost Celtic with the panels of interlacing, or Venetian in the coloring and swirls. Picked up some yummy teas while I was there: Blueberry Rooibos, and Lady Grey's Garden (Earl Grey with floral accents. Smells and tastes almost chocolaty!)
Back on the road, and we finally meandered back over to Denver to make it to INATS around noon. The signing was a success. Llewellyn folks were super friendly and welcoming to me.


As we drive back to the airport on Sunday, the "Demon Blue Stallion" (as Sandra dubs it) wishes you a safe journey (or something like that). Looks kinda ominous with those glowing red coal eyes and the lurking storms overhead huh?

Keyword Sketch Cards (and conventions)

A few convention notes:
* San Diego Comic-con appearance has been canceled. I decided that it was going to be a bit rough to take off from my family for a full week this year. I do want to get back to it next year though!
* INATS - I'll still be going to Denver,CO next weekend and will be doing signings in the Buyer's Lounge on Sunday June 27th from 2-3pm
* SFBATS - Something a bit closer to home than SDCC. I'll have a booth at this San Francisco show August 28-29.

Special Edition kits that are going out in the mail this week:
