Wolverine
*UPDATE 5-3-2009: I saw the movie. Verdict: I thought it was okay. It have a lot of flaws and also feels like they try too hard to make everything fit with the other X-men movies. I did enjoy it as a popcorn flick. There you go.

Tweenbot
An art project by Kacie Kinzer in New York, this robot can only go straight and have a flag which tells where it needs to go. It would get stuck on the curb or under benches and rely on people to put it back on course. You would think people would just stomp on it or take it with them... but people actually take time to help it get to its destination. It's such a neat experiment! You can read more about it here plus video.... www.tweenbots.com

Emerald Con Report: part 4
This is the loot I got from the convention. I know... it's not much... hey, I was busy at my table okay... so don't judge!
1. This is a short story plus sketches by Paul Soeiro. He came by my table and we chatted a little... before he left, he give me this book. That was very cool!
2. Sketch book and Preview of Pulp Girls by Jason Martin. Super nice guy, talented artist, and very knowledgable comic publisher.
3. This is the only book I bought at the show. Monsters and Dames is an art book by the guest artists at this convention. With the convention guide, you can go around and get the book signed. I got 12 signatures... which is not too shabby, I think. :)
4. I traded my Batgirl sketch to my friend Memo Diaz for this print. Awesome!
5. This is an official "Ghost Hunter: International" pin. A gift from a fellow artist Rich Schleifer. He knows I dig the paranormal shows. Thanks Rich!
For me, one of the best thing about this con is seeing all my art buddies. Some from working in the game industry... other just comic artists I meet through the years. Below is a sketch of Augie Pagan... he sat next to me and Memo. (Augie, hope you're not mad at me for doing this pic!)
And this is the last part my Emerald Con Report. I'm all signed up to do this again next year. So see y'all again at Emerald Con 2010, on March 13th and 14th. Peace!

Emerald Con Report: part 3
This convention, I tried something new at the table... doing commission sketches. There was pressure to do a good job right a the con. For a first timer, I think I did okay. I took picture of the sketches, that's why it look so bad and blurry. I adjusted it a lot in photoshop so if anyone got a better sketch, please send it to me. 
This Confessor sketch was commission before the show. It was nice to get a little more time to think about it and noodle it. The client pick this up at the con so hopefully I'll get more of this type of commission for next year.
I drew Batgirl just to get people to look at my table. On Sunday, I traded this for a print from my friend and neighbor at the show... Memo!
Dust Bunny sketch is a gift for my comic pal Jason Martin (Super Real, Pulp Girls) for giving me a couple of his awesome sketch books.
Sketch from an original character from the client.
This is for a theme sketchbook... Lady Death.
Another sketch for theme sketchbook... Rogue.
This is another original character "Candy" by Molly Nemecek. This is updated using her scan of the original sketch. Thanks Molly!

Emerald Con Report: part 2
Here are few pics of folks that dressed up for the con.
"Luke, I'm your father....now go clear your room!"
You can't get any light reflectors in Seattle now... thanks to this Ghost Buster.

You can barely see it... but Kitty Pryde have a small purple dragon on her shoulder.
Pretty good Spidey outfit and he got the pose down!
Zombie damaged Resident Evil characters!There are more people dressed up but these are the ones that walked in front of my table. :)

Emerald Con Report: part 1
I took Friday to prep for the convention. I got printer problem but I managed to work around it... got a few prints and buttons done. Which mean I got a little more items to look at on my table beside Betsy Mae #2. I also try to pack lighter this year. I got a collapsable crate which hold all the prints and comics. The side bag is for the drawing supplies and sketchbook. And one more bag for all my clear display stands. Didn't get much sleep that night but I got everything ready to go.
Saturaday morning, I arrived at the show and was stunned to see so many people waiting in line to get in. Later I found out that people waited 45 minutes to an hour before they got in the con that morning! It's great to see such a turn out.
I got to the show about an hour before the main doors are open and set up my table. Like everything, I just got done before the convention start and people rushed in. It didn't take long before a line of fanboys formed in front of my table.
It's not what you're thinking.... everyone lined up to see Mike Mignola! ;) Darth Vader (just a cosplayer) was right in front of me. I stood up and took photos of my area. Click on the pic above to see the larger version! It was the biggest and best show for Emerald Con!

Spider-woman
So I read the ending to "Secret Invasion" trade. Spider-woman play a big part in that.... I'm kinda glad they brought the character back. Wednesday, March 18, 2009
It's here!
First time ever that I have the books so early before the convention. I also got another box of the first issue. Hopefully, I'll sell a bunch at the show. Fingers crossed. Opening that box....It felt good....kinda like opening a X-mas present. What? I'm not crying... just something in my eye... that's all. Sniff.

Bad food!
I like bacon. I also like fast food. It seems to make sense to combine them to create even better food.... but that's not the case my friend. Go to This is why you're fat and you'll see that somethings should never go together.If people actually make enough Turbaconucken (A chicken inside a duck inside a turkey, all wrapped in bacon!).... I think it could actually break the space time continuum.

What the?!
I found out today, that someone used my fan art of Rorschach (made it a pin) and selling it on Ebay. So I emailed this person and hopefully he'll take that auction down. Funny thing is, this person is also selling other pins from other IPs (Intellectual Properties). The seller calms that it's a "fan tribute only".... but the thing that makes it not just a "fan tribute" IMHO is charging for the buttons. Hey...I'm not a lawyer so I could be totally wrong.Anyway, if you ever see someone's artwork being sold on ebay or whatever, please let the original artist know!
*UPDATE 1-14-2009 The auction is closed. :)
