Royal Flush, King Con and Cards

Had a great weekend with the Royal Flush crew at King Con in Brooklyn. Was part of my first very panel with Josh Bernstein, Danny Hellman, Steve Chanks, Steve Ruvolo, Cojo, Harlan Paul Cress, and Sean Pryor in a raucous discussion of the intersection of comics & rock & roll and the origins of Flush. The indomitable Jeff Newelt was moderating.

I also met some really fine people - Rick Parker, Seldon Hunt, Neil Adams, Danny Hellman, Brian Ewing and the lovable Harvey Pekar. Hot damn this mag is taking off! It's all grown up... sniff sniff -

There's illustration galore from the likes of Rick Veitch, Danny Hellman, Steve Chanks, Sean Pryor, Josh Bernstein, Brian Ewing, Aaron Augenblick, Sedlon Hunt, Erik Rodriguez, Cojo, Ryan Dunlavey, Brent Engstrom, Paul Pope, Harlan P. Cress, Jesse Lefkowitz and me!

I also recently made up some promo postcards for this blog. Upon review of the Shapes, my lovely and talented wife Daria commented that Queen Nadya of Pollen Nation and Ramburger the Chancellor were married - haha! - story forthcoming. I thought this was brilliant and put them side by side, then found this great vintage wallpaper i found online.
