Little Island Comics

Well, if this isn’t an awesome idea! Glad this store is opening now that I have a 5 month old! Can’t wait to start taking her. Actually, I want to go just for me. It’s owned and operated by The Beguiling which is one of my two favourite comic stores in Toronto.

What a great way to start the school year. Comics were some of the first things I started reading and also a big reason why I got into art and drawing.

You can check their awesome site here.

Little Island Comics is the first kids comic book store in North America–maybe even the world! Owned and operated by international comics institution The Beguiling–celebrating their 25th Anniversary in 2012–the store features thousands of comics, graphic novels and manga, and a great lineup of programming and events with kids comic and book authors from around the world!

Elena Aurora at 4 and A Half Months

Can’t believe how quickly time is flying. Elena is 4 1/2 months! She’s a cutie and keeps my wife and I busy. Looking forward to teaching her many things and watching cartoons together!

Boston Bruins and Lord Stanley

Well, it’s been a while since I have posted on the blog. Baby Elena and work have been keeping me pretty busy. Something is happening tomorrow to has made me post tonight. Yes, the Boston Bruins will be playing the Vancouver Canucks in game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals.

As a Canadian, I really should be cheering for Vancouver but unfortunately, I am a Boston fan. I like the style of hockey they play and they have outscored Vancouver in a huge way. Tomorrow, Boston needs to bring it and the cup will be theirs.

Really looking forward to tomorrow evening!

PS. I’ll be posting my thoughts on the NEW Roma soon.

Elena Aurora

Hey all. I know I haven’t posted in a long time but little baby Elena Aurora was born March 31st. She is the most beautiful baby in the world (I can scientifically prove this) and mommy and baby are doing great.

Samurai Shodown!

Ah, Neo Geo arcade games… they bring back memories. What I also remember is the cost for the home system and the games. Some of the games were going for $300 each. Crazy times indeed.

Anyway, now that  I am reminded of my wasted youth spent in arcades, check out this cool video. It’s “Taichi Saotome, Special New Year Performance of Dragon and Peony, Sword Dance and Shadowgraph 2nd to the 5th of January 2011 at the Galaxy Theater Tokyo.”

I can only imagine how must coreographing was needed for this. Only in Japan. Enjoy and stay out of arcades! Oh wait… arcades died in the early mid 90s… by bad.
