San Diego Comic Con

Just got back from the San Diego Comic Con where I spent lots of money (poor now), met lots of people, and saw lots of cool stuff. I even got to see the police cart away someone who lost his mind in Hall H and stabbed someone else in the face. Over a seat! And those seats are horrible! I also got to do art to help the Cartoon Art Museum in SF. But enough talk. Let's see pictures!

Look! They think I know what I'm talking about!

And the top of my head. I will remain a mystery!

My first sketch. This was for someone who pre-paid for thirty-some sketches from all the artists working the table for those four days. He left a binder with images and details of a group of anime girls with little wings and halos. His boat, it seems, is held aloft by cute girls with tiny tiny wings. I rushed through inking as I had a panel to attend and I had wasted most of my hour chatting with my booth-mate Kraig Rasmussen. Mayhap we shall work together in the very very near future. Hmmmm?

My next hour at the booth resulted in the above which actually sold!!!! 'Though, not while I was there, sadly.

After sketching Supergirl I found I had only 10 minutes left in my time slot and quickly did this only using light pencils and a brush pen. A real life professional, Brad Rader, who was there next to me sketching away, said he liked my brush work! My Brush Work! Holy Crap! This guy worked on Batman! I don't know whether Chewie sold or not but a guy who worked on freaking Batman gave me a compliment about it. It is my favorite thing and I did it in like ten minutes.

Met this girl in line for the now infamous Hall H. She is one of my heroes now. I think I love her just a little.

And slave girl Leia of the slave girl Leia horde. Who can possibly resist? Not I dear reader. Not I. The wife and I had lots of fun. Super charged with creative juice (no not the sticky kind you perv you). I loved every one of those beautiful geeks. I find myself proud to be counted as one among them.
