About Me: I think of life as a journey and I love the places it's taking me! I went to school to study Magazine Journalism, ended up with a second major in Japanese language, and now work at a company that makes software for libraries. I love writing, computers, photography, and the great outdoors. I spend most of my time playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band or geeking out online with Mr. Cherry Pie. I'm happiest when I'm on the road, especially traveling abroad, or just nesting quietly at home with my sweetie, who is a fabulous cook and bakes a delicious rendition of a certain cherry-filled dessert!
Comic Wedding
May 14th, 2008 @ 1:35 pm by Miss Cherry Pie
Last Monday night, Mr. Cherry Pie and I met both Scott Kurtz, the artist behind the PVP web comic AND the captains of Discovery Channel’s “The Deadliest Catch.” It’s kind of a long story as to how this serendipitous happening came about, but suffice to say it was one of the coolest chance meetings I’ve had in a while.
After we met the sea captains, Scott invited us to his hotel bar where we chatted and he drew some awesome sketches for us. It never ceases to amaze me how artists can just whip something up in 30 seconds that would take me an hour to draw an ugly version of.
I wanted to share this sketch that Scott made for us of his character, Jade, who was married in the strip on May 4th, 2008. I’ve been feeling especially “bridal” reading this story arc - I started getting absolutely livid when Jade’s mom tried to call off the wedding. HOW COULD SHE?! (Haha.)
Isn’t she lovely? Jade’s attire is inspired by what Scott’s wife wore on their wedding day. Aww, what a tribute!

@Mrs. Lovebug: Yes we did, and he was really surly! *squee* All of the captains were there, as well as some of the crew. Very awesome guys.
You are so lucky. We love the show!
I am so jealous that you got to meet the captains! Sig is supposed to be at a boatshow in Newport, RI during Memorial Day weekend and I”m trying to convince my bf to go with me (i.e. drive me down there) but it’s horribly expensive to get tickets to the boatshow. We’ll see though…it’s Sig so I gotta go! 
awesome, i’m so glad i’m not the only nerd here who reads PVP daily. 
i was so happy that the wedding came together despite the last minute fiasco w/jade’s mother!
Oh I read that arc. That’s really cool that you met Scott Kurtz.. I was saying to my fiance that her dress in real life is super 80s but it was beautifully drawn.. now that we know it was based off his wife’s dress, it all makes sense! Very cool.
I would LOVE to meet Sig and Phil! Neat!
Now, if Mike Rowe were there as well, I probably wouldn’t be able to restrain myself, if you know what I mean.
