Epix Battle!


Seattle Bound

August 26th, 2008

My brother and I are going to PAX this weekend. This is my first year ever to attend so I’m incredibly excited. What makes me more excited is that I’m not exhibiting. I have nothing to sell. I’m just going to have fun. I think this is the first time since I was in my early twenties that I went to a convention just as a patron.

My brother has made one of his amazing 3D cakes to commemorate PAX 2008. I’m told it will be on display in the skyway for everyone to see. If you haven’t seen his cakes before, you have to check out his Flickr feed. We’re hoping that some of you video game companies out there will see these cakes and want to hire Brian to make something for your next launch party or corporate event.

The PAX cake he made is insane. We shipped part of it, and we’re bringing some of the gum-paste sculptures that make up this edible diorama with us as carry on luggage. Brian even called ahead to make sure we were allowed to bring sugar sculptures with us on a commercial flight. He called the TSA, that’s how serious he is about making sure everything on his cakes are edible.

I’ll be posting pictures and video blogs from the show, so stay tuned. If you’re attending and you’re a PvP fan look for us. Brian is 6′7″ and I’m 6′4″ so we shouldn’t be too hard to pick out from the crowd.

Serious about being funny

August 25th, 2008

I am a total nerd when it comes to discussions about how to write something funny. It’s such an intriguing puzzle, trying to come up with the best ways to write really awesome humor. I really feel like I’m horrible at it. I kind of fumble my way through. That’s why it was so great to have Kris Straub grace my studio for even a brief
