San Diego 2014 Sketches

Another San Diego Comic-Con comes and goes way too fast.  I saw a lot of interesting Cosplay, ate some good food shared with good friends, and saw probably the best damn thing ever!!! (pic above).  I also did a little bit of sketching.  Enjoy!

It's That Time Again!

Time for San Diego Comic-Con! Enjoy a pic from last year.

Let the Madness Begin!! Bro and I will be in our usual Artist Alley space BB-05/06! 

See you there!

San Diego Comic Con Zooms Up Fast

Wow, another year has gone by already.  I'll be at San Diego Comic Con again, even in the same spot in Artist Alley BB-06, right next to my brother Jeffrey, and the awesome Joe Phillips with is always interesting entourage.  I'll have pages for sale from Danger Girl/GI Joe and will be taking sketch/marker commissions.  Drop by and say Hi!

 

San Diego Comicon Sketches!

San Diego has come and gone.  Decompressed, feet achy.  Time to put up some sketches!  These are the relatively clean ones for the kiddies, ya know. ;D

I still have a Jet Black from Cowboy Bebop to finish off at home, so there will be the slightest shred of Beefcake in there for the ladies.  Overall, a fun trip.  Great to meet some new friends and rejoin old ones.  Many thanks to the people who run Artist's Alley and to DeviantArt for making it all happen again this year.  Hope to see ya'll next year!

San Diego Bound!

Well time just flies when you're having fun or if you're just slackin'. :P San Diego is upon me and I'm in the midst of packing. Jeff and I will have our Artist Alley spaces at BB-05 and BB-06. Looks a bit different from last year, they divided the rows so there are some butted up against the far wall. Hopefully our spots aren't there, bad traffic flow, IMO. Space is tight so I'll be unfortunately skipping on the back issues.

I was also stalled out on my Bunny Book, so hopefully I'll get that done for next year. But I have some sketchbooks still from previous years, and some more Original Art and PPG Covers I'm good to let go.

But anyhoo, back to packing. Sees you there! :)

PS: I really want one of those Tron Legacy/Olivia Wilde Banners they have up on the lightposts... wonder how hard it is to climb a lamp post? *yummy!*

How Time Flies

New Year and even Chinese New Year has past since my last posting, sorry all. Still trying to muddle through the inks on a special independent project then hopefully some new work. Getting distracted by the new Star Trek Online game can be blamed, but at least a bit of the excessive playing has made my Space Bar Thumb sore enough that I'm laying off it right now. :P I would say that even though I enjoy flying around in an Original TOS Enterprise, there really isn't much the way for Multiplayer action in STO. I've been labeling it a Massively Instanced Single Player Online Game (or MISPOG).

So Convention Season is quickly approaching and I've got a couple lined up for shore: San Diego is always a must and Crazy trying to get hotel rooms, and Planet Comic-Con in Kansas City. I'm still trying to get in touch with the Anime Central crew to be a Guest again, always a good time; but the people who run Fallcon in Minneapolis has changed their schedule around so their 2-day show which is normally in Sept/Oct, is now on the same weekend as Acen. If Acen falls through I guess it would be Fallcon in May. Both shows have treated us great in the past and it's unfortunate when con dates conflict. :(

Other con stuff that's happening is C2E2 which is the New York Comic-Con's big debut in Chicago at McCormick Place. Hope it has a good turnout and will give Wizard some competition. :P Anyhoo, the con needed some artist info and artwork for their site and Artist Alley Placeholders, so I did some original art for an idea that I have for a banner (if I ever get around to doing and paying for one. :P) Enjoy! :)

Yay! New Post! More Shameless Plugs!

Yeah, I dropped off the face of the Earth again, wasting more time and procrastinatingly working on an 8-Pager Samurai Jack story that's just waiting for Pencil Approvals now. I am finally on Facebook, but I'm not sure how to make a Fan account to keep my personal friends and friendly fans separate.

I did put up some pics from this year's San Diego Convention there, though I thought I took some better and more pics, but I guess that's all I have. Enjoy what you can. Hopefully you can see them and they're not blocked. :)

LaJolla, CA
San Diego Comic Con
Sketches from SDCC

On Shameless Plug front, A couple of World of Warcraft Trades came out; Book 2 Hardcover which compiles issues #8-14. Book 1 is now in a Softcover TP with a shiny new cover.

Also out is the Cartoon Network Action Pack #41 which has my Samurai Jack "Sanderella" 6-Pager. It was rather wordy with all the narration they had in there, but glad to see they worked it all in around my artwork. ;)

And now, have some more doodles of Lady Scorpia.

Back to Back Cons!

Tomorrow Jeff and I will be heading out to the hot town of Killeen, TX for Animix, an anime convention near Fort Hood. It'll be our first time out there so all my stuff will be new to them! :P

San Diego will be the week after and we'll be shopping around on Preview Night, but will be at our Artist Alley spaces the rest of the time. Jeff and I are at spots EE-07 and EE-08, which might be the same spots we had last year. Nice to have some continuity.

We're relegated to 1/2 a table each again, so I'll probably be leaving the comic book back issues at home, but will have my Original Art, same ol' prints, and will do Sketch Commissions (no color cept for CN stuff.) New for this year is a collection of nekkid Faye Valentines out of my sketchbooks, lovingly laid out in a 40 page book appropriately titled "FayeSketches."

I was hoping to work up some new prints, but procrastinated too long and didn't really get anything down. I did finish an idea for my Joker/Harley print, but will probably just sell off the original. Some things don't work for me, and I'll probably do another later on.

Time's Flying By! Noooes!!!!1!!

I've been catching up on some stuff lingering around my desk, a commish leftover from Acen that I finally got around to, Utena and Anthy from the anime Utena. Enjoy!

Thinking about my Bunny Sketchbook I wanted to get out for SDCC, but I probably won't be able to pull it off in time, so maybe I'll have to come up with some prints. Since it's PPG's 10th anniversary, I guess I can put together some new ones (the old ones are ooooold. :P) Maybe get a Yoko print done. And maybe a banner, skip bringing comics, cause we only get half a table now. :(

Other than that, still mulling over my pencils for my latest Samurai Jack 4 pager. He's not really in it that much, plus him and The Scotsman are in drag. It'll make sense once you get the context :P

Artist Alley San Diego

San Diego has us listed in the Artist Alley at EE08 and EE09, which in the picture should be about where the red box is, I think. The PDF I took it from wasn't too clear. Cya there!

I'm currently mulling over the LSH ref pack I got for the issue I'm penciling. It looks like they changed the designs abit from the first season, so I'm not sure what we're using.

Queue "Doomsday Machine" Music

Yes, Doomsday is approaching. That pesky lil' con called SDCC, and I continue to get stuff ready for it. I put a batch of last year's Sketchbook (The Good, The Bod, and the Undies) together; just have to cut the ends off. I'll probably do another batch tomorrow.

I did finally get around to the last take-home sketch from last SDCC. Bubbles racing the Roadrunner. Sometimes I get annoyed that I just don't have the right shade of color I'm looking for, so I have to wing it and try out different things to kinda make it work. But it's done and I can get on to other things.

I'm definitely not going to get anything new done for the con. I currently have 2 stories on my desk to do: 1) a Samurai Jack 4 pager, and 2) a Legion of Super Heroes (cartoon version) issue to pencil. Yes! That's right doin' some LSH. :p Since I haven't really watched the show, it'll be interesting to see if I can turn it around in the time Harvey wants. I'm expecting some comics and reference this afternoon. All of this is due in mid-August. O_O

Prep for San Diego

Well, San Diego Comic Con is coming up fast. Not sure what I'm going to be able to get done that's new for the con. A sketchbook is out of the question, so last year's will have to do. I'm thinking of bringing out alot more original art and cutting back on the comics. We'll see...

I'm actually catching up on some "take home" sketches from last SDCC. One is of a girl named Louise from Zero no Tsukaima, kind of like a Ah! My Goddess meets Harry Potter. I've never seen the show, but I was given a pic to essentially copy, just taking off her shoe and putting in the windows. Below you can see the inks and then the colors. Hopefully I can get the other late sketch done then on to maybe a new PPG print... Again, all up in the air.
