Illustration Friday: Under the Sea

Mermaid under the sea. I actually did this one a while ago but I thought it works with Illustration Friday's theme. :)

Spooky Sammy sketch

Spooky Sammy is a character that I would like to develop more. She started out in my short micro comic from my first time at the artist alley, at the Seattle Con.... about 4 years ago. I hope to bring the character back in a regular comic size format someday.

Illustration Friday: Robot

The Tin Man is a robot, right? ;) Check out more art goodness in Illustration Friday.

Apologie (Shane's romance comic)

Shane White made an experimental romance comic. Click on the picture above to read it.

I think it's brilliant.

Illustration Friday: SPOTTED

Haven't done IF in a while so I decided to do a quick one while I got a little bit of free time. btw... hope everyone had a happy Easter. :)

Check out other great art at Illustration Friday.

Super Real sketch

One of the cool thing about going to the con, is to meet other artists. At the Emerald con, I got to talk to Jason Martin Of Super Real comic. He's a really nice guy and we drew in each other sketch book. Above is the sketch I got from Jason... check out my Perry Platypus on the hat. :)


Jason also dropped off a few copies of Super Real #2 with my cover art! That was the first time I saw it in print. Inside is a interview of me.... god, I hope I don't sound like a dweeb. If you see it in the comic store, please pick it up. For more Super Real action... check out Jason's site and blog!

Emerald City ComiCon 2006

Emerald City ComiCon 2006! Karin and Suzanne selling everything in their inventory. Check out Karin's site for more con photos.

What's a comic con without storm troopers? These guys were awesome. They came by my table and chat with me and Paul for a few minutes. Found out that their helmets have a built in mike system so you can hear them talk, just like in the movies.

From the left... it's Shane, Gene, and Bart. On the right side and not in the picture.... it's Paul, Augie, and Dev's table . Overall, I had a great time at the con. Friday night, I was so busy preparing that I only got a couple of hours of sleep. I hang in there and had a good time talking to folks and doing sketches. The not so good thing was the attendance. It was noticeable less this year. This is the first time the convention opened in April and with the weather being nice... folks just did other stuff outside... that's one theory anyway. Well, who knows... I still had a great time hanging out with my art pals and fellow comic geeks.

Again, thank you Paul for providing the pics.

Gallery party report

Last Friday, we had the launch/gallery party at All City Coffee. It was a blast with James McDaniel as our DJ and free Neon Brown cd given out with Atomic Lead comic purchase.

Here's the signing table where all the artists sketch on the back of the comic.

Above... few pieces of original pages by Dev Madan.

Overall, everything went pretty smoothly. The one bad thing is.... I split beer over the Steve (the owner of All City Coffee) pants. Sorry Steve! I'm such a klutz.

Thanks Paul for letting me use the photos. Tomorrow, photos from the Emerald City ComiCon.
