I have recently joined this group in Facebook Comic Con, a virtual Comic Con,where people can "visit" and mingle with artists, writers and veterans in the industry. Which is just too cool to resist. So I have registered table at the "Artist Alley" where I'll be displaying my artwork and hopefully get to interact with you guys there. I'll also be up for fanart requests whenever I'm online. Join in the fun and meet me at my "table" via Facebook Comic Con / Alan Quah (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=50444528026). Join me now if you are already a Facebook member. No requests required, just click and you're part of my family. ;) See ya! A

So far Anywhere is going great guns, Creatively... both me and Tom Akel are happy with the results, slow as it
