Marie Apetoinette

Marie Apetoinette reigned as the Queen of France between 1774-1793. She was the wife of King Louis XVI and eventual mistress to the guillotine. Famous for responding to her disgruntled subjects by flinging her poo and for the quote: “Let them eat banana bread.”

A chip off the old Bark

Thanks goes out to Etsy buyer Erica for sending in proof of this coincidental literary likeness alongside her recent purchase of “Bark Twain.”  Her comments about how much it resembles her dog’s “surly eyebrows and mustache” are completed founded. I have a suspicion there’s a tiny, dog-sized cigar smouldering in an ashtray somewhere in the background.

San Diego Comic Con 2011- Day 4

Peter Mayhew with his purchase of my “Hairy Trinity” print.

Another day of great sales with the added bonus of two great events. The first was the purchase of my signed print titled “The Hairy Trinity” by the wife of Mr. Peter Mayhew, a.k.a. Chewbacca. (Peter has recently undergone surgery and wasn’t able to walk the convention floor.) Shortly after the purchase I visited Peter’s signing booth to thank them both for the purchase and was invited to take a picture of Peter holding his print.

The second event was the purchase of one of my new Superlative/Nefarious books by a gentleman that showed an intense interest and asked several questions about the project. As we wrapped up the sale he presented his business card and identified himself as a project executive with Imagine Entertainment, the company founded by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer. So perhaps my book will eventually work its way through the studio’s intricate project review maze.

More photos from the day:

San Diego Comic Con 2011- Day 3

Today’s sales were a record for a single day’s effort for us. Thus we were both very focused on staying close to the booth. What follows are some additional shots around the convention floor before the doors opened, a couple of booth shots of talented folks (and new friends) and more costume fun.
