Comicon: tee-minus eight
I don't know exactly what t minus comes from, but everyone says it in movies when they're looking forward to something (or dreading it), although it's usually something more technical than a herd of comic book and entertainment industry geeks descending upon San Diego.
I thought I would try for a post every day this week, talking about something awesome that will be at Comicon, which you maybe don't know about or if you do you'll be like "WOO! I AM GOING TO DO THAT ALREADY!"
And a drawing.
But anyway! Tonight I am talking about Eville Press, which is going to be booth #1534, and will have Pixar story guys Ted Mathot with his Rose and Isabel books and Derek Thompson with, I assume, his 365 Monsters 2007 book. They'll also have Afterworks 1 and 2. I am definitely stopping there.
Derek's monster books are awesome, he goes from cute to freaky to what-the-hell-is-that, and there are 365 drawings in them, so there's always something to find and get inspired by when I open it up. Anyway.
Here's a drawing.

Hey Emma. Nice work you've been doing lately! I love your very instructive comments too. I find I'm actually learning something when I come here. Keep it up!
Wish I was going to Comicon this year. Have fun! I have to go to Siggraph instead. Next year for sure though.

I was (and still am) something of an aerospace junkie :p
T-minus originated as a countdown to NASA rocket launches, after which elapsed mission time is used, inclinating positively.
By the way, the link to my old blog in your sidebar, olivertszengart.hostmatrix.org, won't work for much longer! My new blog address is a succinct olivertszeng.com

T stands for Takeoff I think. ^_^

i just wikipedia'd "t minus". I'm guessing the T stands for Ten, as the countdown usually starts from ten.
As in, "We've got [ten] minus five seconds to launch".
Seems pretty impractial, though.
I'm goin' to Comicon! :)
