Back In The Saddle?

Well, it's late in the day but technically still on time.

What a couple of weeks I've had. one hundred and twenty sketch cards before deadline, two Comic Cons and two major announcements later and I think we're good to go again. Now where to start...

I will have sketch cards in two new sets coming from Breygent Marketing. I've done sixty cards each for the Cartoon Sketch Project and The Golden Age of Comics. These sets were a lot of fun to work on and I look forward to seeing how people respond to them. I have three artist proof cards from each set. Just email me if you're interested in commissioning one.

I had a great time at the Gem City Comic Con and more recently C2E2 in Chicago. I big thanks to Chuck Moore, John Wilson and the crew from Comic Related for allowing me some time at their booth. C2E2 was quite the experience. It's been a long time since I've been to a big show and this one was a lot of fun. I think they did a great job for a first year show. Could they improve in some areas, sure. The facility was massive and I think it made it hard to get to some of the panels and signings in a timely fashion, especially if you where stuck waiting in a line for one of the more popular creators, but I think that's something that will get worked out. The C2E2 staff and volunteers were all super friendly and very pleasant to deal with. Something that you don't always find when dealing with show organizers. Chicago was a very expensive city, but a very friendly and welcoming one.

And now for the announcements. If you listened to the pod cast I linked to last week you already know that Brett Pinson and I will be doing a comic for the band Bowling For Soup. We could not be more excited about this project. The character designs are done and the story outline was approved so look for a press release with some preview art coming soon.

And for all you GAPO the Clown fans, work has begun on a GAPO the Clown animated short. That's right, everyone's favorite hate filled clown and his supporting cast will be coming to life in 2D animated splendor. The test animation that was done has been used as a little plug for the web site and if you where lucky you were one of the people that received it as a text message at C2E2. If not don't fear. I'll be posting it hear soon enough. We hope to have both project ready this fall.

And lastly, I'll be at the Pittsburgh Comicon this weekend. I'll be set up with my good freind Kevin Leen so just look for his booth in the program and you'll find me. See you there.
