And now that I've got your attention: take a look here to find out how you can help get a local indie comics project (yes, that would be my project) printed in time for the Expo... and earn a reward while you're at it!
Last year, just for fun, I wrote a comic-strip-style alphabet about my weekend at the Edmonton Comic & Entertainment Expo. Here are a few bits & pieces from it. To read the whole alphabet, look here.

This was a bit trickier, because it hasn't happened yet! The Edmonton Expo alphabet was about my own experiences at the Expo. But this new alphabet ended up being about... ANTICIPATION. The alphabet will appear in this year's Expo Program Guide. But in case you just can't wait that long, check back here during the next couple of weeks for a few more sneak previews!

Some nice things people said about my work:
“If Breitkreuz and Foong [founders of the Calgary Comics & Entertainment Expo] represent the Type-A side of Calgary's self-publishing community, Hester may be the community's right brain.” – Tom Babin, FFWD Magazine
“…A strong graphic style similar to other autobiographically-inclined Canadian cartoonists like Chester Brown and Julie Doucet.” – Gilbert Bouchard, Edmonton Journal
