This past Tuesday was the Belleville Drink N Draw at Egan's Pub in, as always, Belleville. It was a small group this time, but always fun. Sketching, gabbing, eating and some drinking.

SOLD

This weekend, I will be making my almost yearly trek north to the Traverse City area (Acme) for the Cherry Capital Comic Con. I will have all the usual stuff, including some new items, as well. Such as some Creature From the Black Lagoon jigsaw puzzles, some new drawings, including the above sleestak. It's a parody of a Sports Illustrated cover from 1990, I think, but instead of Bill Laimbeer complaining about fouls, he is instead, a sleestak, in which he played one in the 1970's television series, Land of the Lost. This will be available in my 'original drawings' tray. 

So, come one, come all to one of Michigan's finer comic conventions. They have a rather good line-up this year, so stop on by and get your nerd on! I'll be in Artists Alley all weekend, starting Friday night. 

Drop Dead Sketchy May 2025

Last night, we had our second meet-up for the Drop Dead Sketchy sketch group at the Detroit Shipping Company. It was a rainy night, perfect for sketching and enjoying the company of fellow artists. It was a slightly different crowd from the first one, but a good one. I do like that about these sketch groups... one never knows who will show up. Above is a sketch that I did of our founder and organizer, Kelly!

The Saint Artist Proof Sketch Cards

As some of you may know, I have a bunch of blank Artist Proof sketch cards that I have from doing various sets throughout the years. So, from time to time, I'm going through and finishing them. Today's featured cards are from the 2017 set, The Saint, released by Unstoppable Cards. I had three AP's, so here they are. Links are below, if interested:

Kidney Stone!

 

So, this past Monday night was a bout with the dreaded kidney stone(s). Hopefully, it's just one! I'm pretty much out of the woods on this one, but I thought about the cartoon that I did way back when I had my second go with this crap (shown above). That one was bad; it took two weeks to pass three rocks. Delightful.
