Hello again to all who have been reading this space and welcome back! First off, I was a guest on the Empire’s Open Podcast back in October and the episode containing incriminating and blackmail information on me is available for the willing listener’s ears.
Empire’s Open Podcast Episode 12
Another subject you’ll hear me talking about during the episode and I find fitting of the episode to be released now is I chat about owning original art from comic illustrators Tony DeZuniga and Ernie Chan who both passed away recently over the course of this month. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting with these gentlemen over the years through attending the numerous comic conventions. From conversing with Tony and his wife, Tina DeZuniga, who remembered me from the times I dined at her restaurant, Orchid’s, in downtown Stockton and chatting and taking a memorable photo of Ernie with a couple of cosplayers. It’ll be different going to conventions and missing their attendance and now looking to their original art in a different light.
At the same time, my family has been dealing with the passing of our beloved Uncle Manny Narvaez this past Saturday. Uncle Manny was one of the kindest and supportive members of our family and he will definitely be missed.
Rest in Peace to Uncle Manny Narvaez, Ernie Chan, and Tony DeZuniga.

My family and my late grandfather.
It just occured to me that my mother, father, sister and I haven’t been in a room together in almost 10 years now.
That needs to change.
I’m going to be documenting my trip to Spectrum LIVE! on Instagram. Feel free to follow along at ‘outofsteparts’.
Awesome!
