Tammy!

resurfacing -- catching up with Tammy

Last Weekend's ALTERNATIVE PRESS EXPO (APE)

APE was an intense and crazy weekend, and I'm pretty wiped out from so much selling my wares and interacting with strangers, but all in all I had a really great time. Sold a ton of comics, and even a couple necklaces, and handed out huge masses of cards with the jewelry url on it -- they generated a LOT of interest. Let's hope people come to my site and buy stuff! I also met a bunch of other really interesting artists, got to see a bunch of old friends from school and conventions past, and gave my comic to some publishers. We'll see what happens!

Excerpt from Breeding Season, my newest comic

Russell's comics came out really beautifully (go get your copies!), and I think he ROCKED his first APE experience! He is also a delight to share a table with.

What else have I been up to?!
As if APE didn't make things busy enough, Todd and I are training for another triathlon on the weekend of May 5th-6th. We'll be doing Wildflower again, at lake San Antonio near Paso Robles. We did this one last year, but this year Todd will actually be doing the LONG COURSE, which is a HALF IRONMAN distance (1.2m Swim, 56m Bike, 13.1m Run!) I am sticking with what I did last year, the course they refer to, insultingly, as the "short course", which is plenty long enough for me: (1.5K Swim, 40K Bike, 10K Run.)
In preparation for this event, and because my mom was visiting, last weekend Todd and I did the Icebreaker Triathlon, a shorter tri that is held in and around Folsom Lake near Sacramento. It was a great training exercise and really pretty fun, despite big winds.

They got some cute pics of us!

More stuff
I'm still working hard on the jewelry. I'm now selling at 5 stores locally, and I'm trying to get the line picked up by a catalog so I can get more publicity as well as sales. I'm also going to be sending out a press release soon, because the best possible situation is for people to come to MY SITE and buy direct FROM ME! Tell a friend!

I dyed my hair PINK.

Then, I dyed it RED.

I posted a ton more pics from Costa Rica: set starts here.

I haven't seen nearly enough of all of you... but thanks to everyone who came out to APE! Your love and support means so much to me!
