It's been awhile since the mighty Muck Man has made an appearance here, so here he is in another astounding tale of righteousness.

San Diego Comic Con 2010

So, it's been a quick two weeks since the San Diego Comic Con and I'd better do an equally quick write-up about my week there before too much time slips away. As you can see by my super awesome Galactus hat that a fun time was had by all. Just slip on your very own magical Galactus hat and you shall be whisked away to geek heaven. Trust me, it worked.
I was fortunate enough to get a table this year in Artists Alley and was very happy with my spot at the end of the aisle. I had a great vantage point to not only attract potential viewers and buyers, but I also had a front row seat to people watch and there was plenty to watch! The above pic shows what my little corner of con looked like.
Harley Quinn came by and it didn't take her long to whip out the old cork gun and threaten me (actually, she was quite charming).
One of the cooler exhibits was the Iron Man booth. They had all of the suits of armor from both of the movies. Being an exhibitor has its advantages; after all the crowds departed I was able to meander through the hall and see a lot of this stuff up close without a bunch of people clustered together. It was pretty cool.

It was a great experience to have a table at the biggest show on earth and to talk with all of the people who stopped by my booth. Thanks to all and I hope to see you next year!

Alice In Wonderland

While I'm gearing up for the San Diego Comic Con next week, I thought I'd try to catch up a little in my posts here. So, I have the three images that I did for the Alice In Wonderland book called The Looking Glass. In the book there are 17 artists and over 30 illustrations all depicting their own version of Alice and her world. You can purchase the book directly through me or by clicking on the banner at the bottom of this page.

The book was concocted by fellow illustrator Bill Pulkovski and also has artwork by Matt Busch, Alex Buechel, Jay Shimko, to name a few.

I'd like to add that I used the likenesses of two of my nieces for the two Alice paintings.

Golden Age Comics Heroes And Villains Sketch Cards




Here is my run on the Golden Age Of Comics: heroes And Villains sketch card set that was put out by Breygent back in the spring. The last two cards in the bottom row are my Artist Proofs if anyone is interested in them. In all, I did four sets for them recently including the Cartoon Series, Classic Movie Posters Sci-fi/Horror and the Woodstock generation. All very much fun to work.

Neptune Hates BP


Well, don't we all at this point? We should.

I haven't posted anything from my sketchbook in quite awhile, so here is a little quickie that I did a few days ago that pretty much sums up my feelings about the gulf oil spill. Actually, I could go on and on about this in many different ways (and probably will). It's times like this that I am so happy that I made the necessary lifestyle changes to make myself happy and also to not have to depend on my vehicle (i.e, no addiction to oil here) to get back and forth to work. Keep it local and tell these fat cat corporations to suck it. Before they kill us all.
