WIZARD WORLD CHICAGO

It's here or will be here this weekend. After some registration problems for Artist Alley I have a space! Whoo! My table number is 3718 and you can find it on the map here.
No new sketchbook, sorry. I'm trying to get a couple new prints done. Here's a Black Canary. W.C. Carani will be joining me for Saturday or whenever he feels like sitting and we'll be passing out our free Legion of Superheroes anniversary print. So stop by and pick one up. I'll also have back issues of our work as well.

See you there!

Anime Central this weekend...

My brother Phil and I will be guests at the 2008 Anime Central in Chicago. Check it out. Kenichi Sonoda of Bubblegum Crisis, Gall Force, and Gunsmith Cats fame is going to be there. Lots of toys to buy, cosplay to see. I won't have anything new except for the free Legion of Superheroes print that will be given out all year. But stop by and say hi and pick one up and see the rest of the con fun!

I see more naked people...

Well, the figure drawing studio class is over. Summer finally feels like it's coming around. Here are a few more drawings from the class.

Free Comic Book Day Weekend is here!

This first weekend of May will have me and my Legion cohort, W.C. Carani appearing at Westfield Comics in Madison, WI on Saturday May 3, 2008. We'll be there to sign books and give away our new Legion print, so stop by and grab one. Upon looking at the print I can't believe I forgot that chicken hawk, Gates! D'oh! But I didn't put all the team members on there anyways, so there.


Then on Sunday, May 4th we'll be appearing at the Oconocon in Oconomowoc, WI, just outside of Milwaukee. Again, stop on by and say hi and get a free Legion print in honor of it's 50th anniversary. I'll also have books and prints and will be taking commissions to be done at the show. Hope to see you this weekend!

More life drawing...

While I've been working on commissions, I really haven't had time to produce much more aside from what I've been doing in life drawing so, here are some more. It's always nice to draw a model with some more muscle tone. I found myself using the side of the pencil like a chisel.

Catching up with the life drawing thing....

Here are the last couple weeks drawings from the figure drawing sessions. Only a couple more left to go... Pretty pleased with the way most of these turned out.

Legion print pencils

Finally got the pencils done today. Gonna hand it off to Mr. Carani for inks. Hopefully we'll be able to have it done before the SDCC souvenir book deadline.

Planet Comicon pics

Here are a few pics from Planet Comicon. Nice to get some more Legion commissions. I had about 12 sketches on the list covering both days and mangaged to get the first day's list done and started on the second day a t the hotel. We'll see if I can manage to get them all done before the show ends.

Toto. I don't think we're in Kansas anymore...

Oh wait. We are!
My brother and are are in Overland Park, KS attending the Planet Comicon on April 5 and 6. Sorry it's on such short notice. It would be great to see anyone living in the area come and attend the show and meet all the great guests! I'll be doing sketches and selling prints and sketchbooks, so stop by and say hi and take a look.

Head Games....

So here I was sitting in front of my computer trying to hack some information from the Master Control Program, when it detected my presence and shot a laser beam out that digitized my head and sent it into the virtual world.... hmmm... Why the hell would anyone put a computer terminal in front of a digitizing laser anyways?
This picture is of a 3 D scan of my head from last year. Raven is always getting new technology and I was happy to play guinea pig for it. As well as taking the scan, where you have to sit absolutely still for a few minutes, they also took several pictures at various angles of my face and head where, if character modelers and texture artists want, can use them as a base to start from. It's pretty spiffy.
