Sketch Cover commission.

A sketch cover commission that I was given to do at the Roanoke Valley Comicon.  He asked me to dray Mary Jane Watson tearing off a symbiote.  I added the bell to tie in to the original story.  He seemed very pleased.  I was happy with it.

I am always available for regular commissions, as well as sketch covers.

Road trip to Roanoke

Had a good show on Saturday.  It started out fantastic and then cooled off to just good.  Still well worth the trip and I had a good time.

I have started to prepare for my next show which is NCComicon, which is a 3 day event starting on Nov 11th.  This gives me lots of time to prepare.  That is a big show and always an exhausting, but fun time.

Roanoke, VA

I am attending the Roanoke Valley Comicon tomorrow, Oct 22.  I've been doing their show for years, but its been a while since I could make it to one.  Lots of new stuff and some fun new sketches.

Hope to see a lot of people and get some comics to some people who would enjoy them.  And if I am lucky, I will make more than I spend (cause I love finding cool stuff).

Fayetteville comicon

Haven't posted lately and a lot has happened.  In particular, a hurricane.  After a nice relaxing vacation with the wife, we came home in time for Hurricane Matthew.
It caused a lot of damage and flooding, but we were very lucky and didn't have anything major.  We know some friends who had significant issues, and there are building about 2 miles from our house that were completely flooded out.

While waiting for things to normalize, Fayetteville Comicon went on this past weekend.  I think it was a nice diversion, Fayetteville was hit hard too.  Others seemed to have the same idea, as attendance was very high.  It was a very good weekend for me, and I got to talk to friends for a couple of days while showing people my art and comics.  That's getting things back to normal for me.

Next stop Roanoke, VA.

Winston Salem Comicon

I attended the Winston Salem Comicon Saturday and had a fun day.  It was a little slow starting, but picked up as the day went.

A boy about 12 or 13 almost running up to my table said he was looking for me all over the place.  (that makes you feel important)  He's bought 3 comics from me at the last 2 conventions he went to, and was there to pick up the next 3.  That was way cool.

In the end I think that is all any artist can ask for.  For someone to give his work a try, and then to enjoy it enough to keep coming back for more.

Thanks to Burke St Comics for putting on another good show.
Next up is Hickory on 09/24.

Fatman The Human Flying Saucer

Fatman The Human Flying Saucer is a creation of Otto Binder and C.C. Beck, the creators of the original Captain Marvel.  It is a bizarre, wild, and wacky character.  They did 3 issues (that were about as thick as 3 issues each) back in 1967.  I have enjoyed doing some artwork of this fun character.  Next year is the character's 50th anniversary.  Should try to bring him back.
