So, we can't make it to the Calgary Expo. Sorry! We have promised to come in 2009 to make up for it.
Good news: the Calgary Expo is friendly with Emerald City ComiCon in Seattle, and we're going there instead! That's May 10-11, and it'll be my first time in Seattle. Hoping to also visit Portland while we're at it.
I don't like talking about my "personal life" on here, but I will try to explain in as few sentences as possible. (1) We moved away from Nova Scotia. (2) We moved to Asheville, North Carolina, USA, Hope's hometown. (3) I am immigrating to the U.S. (you know, so I can live here legally), and am not supposed to leave the country until that's done. (4) It was supposed to be done before Calgary, but these things can drag.

exhausted
We are still playing Dance Dance Revolution all the time. It's fun and difficult. My legs tend to give out pretty quickly now that we're working our way up to the harder stuff, but I'm building strength!
I think I'm going to debut some new Scott Pilgrim t-shirt designs at APE. Hopefully they won't be too sucky. I don't think I'm going to reprint the Sex Bob-omb one; I'd rather do new stuff.
I'm also hoping to print up a little mini-booklet thing with the annotated Vol 1 and 2, plus sketchbook stuff. Mostly stuff that's already on the internet, but I thought it might be nice to put it in a little package.
I'm dead tired today. It's like I haven't even woken up, and it's already bedtime. Good-bye!

Hey, for some reason I have nothing much to talk about on here, and absolutely nothing to show.
I'm theoretically buckling down to do lots of work on the book this month and until it's done. Drawing is pretty hard. It's very rewarding when it stops being horrible, but I've been really busy for the past month somehow and every time I go back to the drawing board it's horrible again. I'll get over it soon! Maybe tomorrow!
P.S. the book won't be done anytime soon. Don't take this to mean anything. I'm really still getting started on the artwork due to miscellaneous setbacks. James hopes we can put it out for San Diego and I would sort of prefer August so we have time to get out review copies, etc.
I did an interview with Suicide Girls the other day, so hopefully that will go up soon. It was pretty good.
I got a watch.
I saw "Children of Men" and it was the best movie I've seen in ages.
We are really addicted to the Camera Obscura album, Let's Get Out Of This Country, which I sadly didn't discover until after I compiled my stupid "favourite of 2006" list. Their song "Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken" would probably have been on my top-5 list (bumping Peter Bjorn & John, I think).
I'm working on some new songs.
I did some secret illustration work last week for something that will hopefully be seen in the UK. I'll tell you more soon.
I have a Matthew Friedberger song in my head. It's been there for a good chunk of the day. I forget what it's called.
That's all I can think of!!!

There is a German edition of Lost at Sea for those of you who need a German edition of Lost at Sea. There is also a Polish edition, which I received in the mail the other day, but I don't know how to find that one on the internet.
Foreign editions of Scott Pilgrim in 2007, maybe? I don't know yet. Foreign editions are weird, and I obviously can't tell how "good" the translation is, or how faithful, etc. I'd like to have a French version of my books, because I can read French and it would be really interesting. I wonder if it would feel like a new book to me, or if I would just keep nit-picking at all the inaccuracies of the language? At least with French there are certain phrases that are really great and maybe some of those phrases would be used in the translated editions of my books?
Anyway, if you are German or Polish and get a chance to read the corresponding translated edition of Lost at Sea, please let me know how that works out for you.
Hello new year! I would draw something commemorative, but I'm very busy. :|

I have my computer back but i don't really have anything new to report. I'm just working on Scott P. 4 and playing some Final Fantasy on the side. My new computer is pretty nice. It can play Half-Life 2: Lost Coast and make it so it actually looks good.
One of the things i'm trying to do on the new computer is get used to using iTunes, with the help of Mr Kanye West.
This is a photo i took the other day when Hope and i were out playing in Annapolis Royal, NS.
