Can you get me to...South Bloomington Transit Center??

So every day, I stop at this stop in Bloomington that is called the "South Bloomington Transit Center." In fact I stop there during the course of a day like FOUR times. After a while a guy gets tired of calling out this long name and at one time a passenger got on and sang to me (to the theme of Sesame Street) "Can you tell me how to get, how to get to the.....South Bloomington Transit Center."

That was it. It stuck.

So I started using it every time. Now, I have a special group of riders that I take out of Minneapolis to South Bloomington, we laugh and talk and make fun of each other. These types of customers help make the time go by faster and it relaxes me as I am driving a SIXTY FOOT BUS in RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC in DOWN TOWN MINNEAPOLIS. Anyway, I have started announcing the SBTC as "Sesame Street" and saying with it, "This ride is brought to you by the letter (insert letter) and the number (insert number) and then put them into a sentence wishing the riders to have a good day and what not.

Fast forward to this week. It has been a terrible week. Drs visits, problems at work, problems with graphics etc. Too much drama for here.

YESTERDAY, one of my riders gets on the bus....wearing a green Sesame Street t-shirt. She said she thought of me when she picked it out. Brightened my entire day....brightened my entire week!

I thought to myself, one good turn deserves another. I made the work below for her and them and hopefully it will brighten their day like that one simple choice of apparell did for me.

A bus load of work!

With the commission being finished this weekend, I have started working on the web comic "Falendor: Raymond of Dale" I was trying to have it set for its debut TODAY but I think sometime next week would be a better choice. I have some other projects going on at the same time that I have called "The Daily Paddles"; these are actually daily "tests" (ie. warmups) that I just soup up with my phone and just from today I have noticed that people are likening them, so I will be doing more:) I am also doing some work for ANOTHER show in November, more details on that later.

Here is the work that I finished Friday and today.....STV may not be in production anymore but I feel like it is :)

Weekend update.

Have spent the last few weekends working of some commissioned work I was paid to do. Will be starting the Falendor Webcomic this week...sometime :)

The Finish of Falendor #1 and Spring Con

First of all, I apologize for not posting until now but for the last few weeks I have done nothing but drive bus then drive home, work on coloring and inking, drive back to work, drive bus, then drive home, sleep, and the next day repeat the procedure. For a while it was nothing but a blur with days blending together.

By the time everything was said and done, the printing of Falendor #1 got off with a very few amount of hitches. I had to change a few things but that is to be expected. In the end we went to Spring Con with a big box of Special Edition Falendor Comics and we sold EVERYONE OF THEM!!! The turnout from friends, family and fans was INCREDIBLE. All Special Editions sold and most of the regular Falendors were all gone by Sunday night. We sold a huge amount of the trading cards as well, to say nothing of the comissioned work that I am working this week to finish. All in all, MCBA put on a GREAT show, lots of people, good friends, just an excellent show. I am working on organizing the small amount of pictures that we did get and I will be posting them in the next few posts.

I am currently working on finishing the commisioned work that I have been paid for and writing the new scripts for the next Falendor and maybe I'll get a couple cards put back in the book too, just for fun this week.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and showed support, it was great of all of you and to the MCBA...THANK YOU!!!!!!!
