24 Hour Comic Day!

This past weekend, I participated in 24 hour comic day at Challengers Comics + Conversation. It really was a tough yet great experience. It was awesome to be with so many talented people and friends. As somebody that usually falls asleep no matter where I am around 11:30 pm, however, this was extremely hard for me. I ended up successfully completing the challenge and have a comic to show for it! iFanboy and Newsarama were even awesome enough to feature it! It was all created digitally on my Axiotron Modbook. 

By the way, this one's not for the kids... Pretty heavy on the bad words and stuff. Mature readers (heh), please!
