Here is a drawing that Alexis (Kid Beowufl) Fajardo drew of Victor from Beyond the Great Chimney durring the SF Zinefest last weekend. It’s officially the first pin-up anyone has done of my characters. I am very pleased.

BTW: I still need to name the race of charcters, one which appears in the bottom left of the drawing. Any ideas?

Today was the second day of Zinefest2006. What is a Zine you might ask. A zine is a publication that is hand made and usually self-distributed. They might xeorxed, stapled, glued, silkscreened or sewen. They are both entertainment and a physical work of art. They vary in what they can be.

Here are a few photos from Zinefest 2006:
