While I Was Out

The Lake County Captains had the second Bobble Fish giveaway, this one is Pauley Perch. There's one more to go, Willie Walleye, and that will be out later this month. I'll be there to sign at that one.

Also cool…this one was going for almost $60.00 on eBay. How weird is that?

Now that I have one of my own, I can post a larger picture of the first Bobble Fish, Buster Bluegill. Here, the King of the Seven Seas attempts to communicate with the Bobble Fish.

Captain's Log

Saturday night was the signing at the Lake County Captains' game. It was a lot of fun, but it didn't go off without a hitch.

It rained on Saturday. On and off, soft and hard. Very hard. It stopped raining a couple hours before the game, but the field was so soaked that they had to really work to make it game-ready. So the game was pushed off to 7:30, then 8:00, and finally 8:30. The game went until 11:30 or so, and then there were fireworks, too. It was a late night.

Of course, years of being an artist have steeled me for such late nights.

The bobblefish just flew that day, too. I maybe signed for half an hour, because that's about how long it took for them to run out of the fish. After everyone dispersed, there wasn't too much doubling back. Still, it was worth it. I got a lot of compliments and met some great people. I even got to autograph one, and then later sign a card for, some lady having a birthday.

The bobble fish even made it onto the scoreboard before the game. That was pretty sweet.

But, best of all, a lot of my family and friends showed up for the game. It's nice sharing such a time with then.

I won't be at the July signing, as matters of state (well, Comic-Con International) will keep me away. But I'll be back at the August one. Let's all hope for nothing but clear skies.

Fish Tales

I got to see the Bobble Fish in person today.

I went up to Classic Park, where the offices of the Lake County Captains are, and got to see the one sample of each of the fishies. The rest are in transit, so I wasn't able to get any for me.

That's my artwork on the boxes, too. Jonathan at the Captains did a good job with it. And my logo and website are on the bottom of every box, so that is sah-weet. I am so looking forward to seeing these at the big signing on June 28th. You can get tickets here.
