Met Richard Taylor again the other day. I think hes stalking me.
Armageddon was on and i was running the Borders stall. Id been to get my Pride of Baghdad graphic novel signed by Brian K. Vaughan and swapped sketches with my good buddy
Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) had finally run out of things to talk about and Armageddon was winding down at last, so I decided to go try get some cash out for some last minute purchases. My eftpos card has a big crack in it so all the atm's declined me and no other stalls could get it to read, in the end I just went up to the Weta Workshop stall and tried to buy the triceratops skull from the King Kong series hoping Id luck out and my card would work. It didnt. The pretty girl behind the stall even tried the fabled plastic bag trick. Gutted.
Turns out Richard Taylor had been hanging over my shoulder the whole time; recognised me from our previous random meeting, reached over, grabbed the big box of dinosaur and hands the bloody thing to me! He then scrawls his PERSONAL email on a piece of paper and tells me to send him more of my work!!!!
SQuEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

In other news, life drawing sessions here rock, only $8 for a two hour session and its on twice a week just down the road from where I work.
Working full time recently has been fantastic money wise as Ive been able to buy a new desk for my drawing board and Ill soon be able to upgrade the ram on my comp.

Yup, things down here are goin swell.
