I'm Off To San Diego (And I'm Bringing Some Superheroes)

Hey all, I'm packing up to head down to San Diego tomorrow morning, and as mentioned before Essex County 3 will make it's official debut (Chris Staros just informed me that 250 copies have landed safely in California).

In addition to that I will have original artwork from all 3 Essex Chapters on hand, and a whole fresh batch of Superhero watercolor paintings for sale (a few samples above). Hope to see you there.
