As per usual, some folks did better than others, but my questionable common sense tells me that these WizardWorld shows are on their way to meet the Almighty Creator; no, not the guy who came up with the half-baked idea for these conventions, but rather the Big Guy himself; and I don't mean Geoff Darrow's robot character, but the guy with the long beard (I can do this all night but I have work to do, so I'll end it right here) I'm confident you dig what I'm saying.
Having said all that, however, Yours B. Truly and the crew had an ungodly amount of fun. We joined our friends from the Imaginism posse in celebrating an early Fourth of July, Mexican style by eating at Maria's (which has become a Brandstudio Press tradition, drinking frozen margaritas to your health, making fun of fellow nerds and other two-legged vermin and , of course, going to the movies to watch Wall-e, which I highly recommend.
I'd like to thank all my friends who attended the event for their support and companionship, particularly The Stewarts: Annie and Matthew, whom I consider family. Good times!
The Eye Candy From Strangers take 2 call for entries' deadline has come and gone. Thank you to all participants, whether you're in or out.
If you are in, then congratulations and I'm looking forward to putting the book together with your images in it. If your work did not make it, please do not be disappointed, the decision to leave you out does not necessarily mean you suck. If the process were to take into account enthusiasm, energy and good will, all of the entries received would have made the cut. Thanks for sending your pieces and keep on drawing.
If you live in the United States, have yourselves a wonderful Independence Day. Remember that patriotism has nothing to do with voting republican and waving a flag full of stars and bars, represent our beloved country and celebrate our independence by doing your best to become an independent artist, one who follows his heart and not some stupid trend, draw every single day to become the best that you can possibly be and on your way up, be kind to others less fortunate. I will be back next week to tell you some terrific news, which I'm sure will make you very happy.
Let me bid adieu with some appropriate images for this occasion in which we pay tribute to our founding fathers (and mothers) There is nothing more American than fellow human beings wearing colorful and revealing lycra outfits and tight —and sweaty— spandex undergarments to courageously display their loyalties —and expose their most private of areas— in a brave effort to honor the heroes who save this country from impending doom on a daily basis, even if these heroes are nothing but fucking cartoon characters.

I don't think you want to know what's under that red skirt.
