I’ve been wanting to go to SXSW, the film & music festival in Austin, for years. I can’t make it again this year, I’ll explain shortly, and this year I actually had two really good reasons to go.

As you all know, I work with charity/art organization RobotsandMonsters.org. Its founder, Joe Alterio, is taking part in a panel on March 15. Titled Indirect Collaboration: Collective Creativity on the Web, the panel will discuss how the internet and crowd-sourcing affect the creative process. more info

Test Everything, the zine that I did these drawings for, is cohosting a whirlwind of zine making. Winners! Press, Domy Books, and Test Everything are going to try to create 20 zines in 2 days, and they need your help! All of the content is going to be created at the event, so drop Domy books by March 19th & 20th if you’re in the area.

The reason I won’t be going to SXSW is because I’ll be gone all next week on my HONEYMOON! We’re headed to beautiful Barcelona. My wife wrote a little bit about it on her blog. I might post a couple pictures while I’m there, but if not, I’ll see ya’ll back here in a week.
