Needed a creative recharge today, so I took a quick break from work to do a color doodle. Just think, EVERY time that you close your eyes at night, this guy is hovering over you! Or at least hiding in the closet.
First of all thanks to everyone who stopped by my table for a sketch, and for those of you that I couldn't get to I apologize. Regardless, I hope you all had a good time! The con was a great experience in many ways and I learned a lot - this being my first time on the OTHER side of the table. It was great connecting with fans and chatting them up. Of course it helped that I had my lovely wife as my assistant with me. She really made things a lot easier. When doing sketches it's hard to connect with people walking by. She did an awesome job of getting people's attention and reeling them in. To you, my love, my deepest gratitude. Thanks also to my neighbors Andy and Alice Price, and Chris Rieke. From a fanboy point of view the show was great and I got to geek out on tons of inkers, Paul Mounts, and Jimmy Palmiotti. It was also great hanging with Comfort Love and Adam Withers, of The Uniques fame, and their crew of Jeremy and Kelly Dale, Marcus Almond (The Razor Kid), and Brya...
The mailman has been super nice this week in delivering a few copies of the books that I worked on last Fall and last Spring. Nanovor Hacked!, and Prank Week are both now on shelves, and I have to say that they look GREAT! I put some of my favorites from Prank Week up. I did the drawing, inking and coloring in that one. There should be some from Hacked! buried in my gallery somewhere :) In my opinion the ones in Prank Week turned out much better. And to think, I did them only a few months after the Hacked! ones. Both books I illustrated in a week, each. It was a crazy deadline that almost killed me, so in regards to the amount of time I had on them I'm still, overall, happy how they turned out. Far from perfect, but when you have that much work to do you just have to move on. If anything, it was a great exercise for not sweating the details....because there was no option to :) At any rate, I hope you enjoy the pics I put up. If you have any young readers, pick the book up for them....
