Many of you know me. Or know of me. Or are just now getting acquainted with me. And are probably wondering,"What kind of weirdo uses his own name on a messageboard on the internet." Well, we're acquainted now.
In case you didn't know, I'm graduating from the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, NY in two weeks. One of the recent traditions of the school is to open the senior illustration and cartooning studios to the general public for an evening so that you may enjoy the fruits of our labors. This will be happening on the evening of Tuesday, May 1st from 6-9 pm at the 310 East 22nd street building, which is off Second Avenue. Free drinks (alcoholic ones, even!) and snacks will be provided. Just make sure you get there early if you plan to imbibe because free booze at a college function goes faster than...somehow faster than free booze at a college function. We're beasts, we young'uns.
And you can meet me in person! And see just how scary I really am! Come see in person that guy that told you your 10th level Werewolf Elf Fighter/Warblade/Sorcerer sounded "Pretty lame"! Come meet the artist with a gift for "elucidating the preposterous", as Heathansson put it!
"But James!", I'm sure you exclaimed, just now,"How will I know I'll even like your silly scribbling? And what if I don't live anywhere NEAR New York City?!"
...
You've got a lot of nerve, mister.
No, no. I'm just kidding. Well, you can see my work at my ridiculous blog The Shelton Diagram Factory and then tell me all about it. I won't send you beer in the mail if you can't make it, though. I'm pretty sure that's illegal. And, honestly, trying to wrest free beer from college kids is liable to get you KILLED.

Brilliant. Have a great show, James, and congratulations on your graduation.
Thanks, guys.
Good luck! I like the work of yours that I've seen. May fortune favor you.
Thanks, fellahs! I'll get really "funny" and "affectionate" at the opening in your names.
Okay, well, the show was last night and it was pretty well attended. If you have any interest in seeing what I really look like (scary stuff), there are pictures up at The Shelton Diagram Factory. Ignore the sappy stuff at the end.
Gratz on graduating, James. I am proud of you!
Thanks, guys. I can understand your distraction, Heath.
Hm. Comparing your photo to your avatar, I'd say it's strange that your avatar wears his mustache right under his hat.
Yeah, you see, the thing is, the avatar is more "vintage" me. Couple years back, around 2000, it was pretty hip to wear your mustache under your hat. And drool like an idiot. The teeth thing is just something I had fixed.
