YEAR END REWIND 2010

Here's my annual look back at some of my favorite pop culture entertainment and a look behind what inspires me as well. There's still a number of movies, albums and books I want to check out but here are some of my favorites of those that I DISCOVERED in 2010 (as some of these came out before then) and in no particular order.

Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

New York Comic Con, October 8-10, 2010

My final show for the year is coming up, NYCC!

HERE'S SOME INFO

-Rachel and I will be appearing at the New York Comic Convention, October 8-10 in Artist's Alley.

- I will take sketch requests when I sit down Friday.

- Sketches are $200 each for a single figure. The convention isn't THAT long so I won't be able to get a lot of sketches done (and I'm going to be in New York City after all!) so don't get your hopes up - I will do as many as time allows.

- I will be selling original art from Uncanny X-Men, Wonder Woman and selected covers, pinups and sketches as well.

- I will also have new prints for sale.

- I will sign books/comics/statues/etc at my table the whole show.

- I will post pics of the sketches and sketchbook ordering info after the show here!

See you there!

San Diego 2010 REWIND Part Four - The View from the Booth

Ah, behind the booth at San Diego, it can be a lot of work sometimes and you are not able to see a lot of the other booths and exhibitors...
but it can be fun as well!
And the things you can see while sitting at your booth can be very entertaining, I saw these guys out on the floor and couldn't get a good pic of them, and then, while sitting at the booth, voila!
You also get to see stuff like this, especially on Saturday, the day of the Masquerade!
Outside, there is stuff like this, ah, San Diego, until next year!

San Diego 2010 REWIND Part Three - The Emma Sketches!

And then there was Emma - my most popular request at San Diego 2010.

TD

San Diego 2010 REWIND Part Two - The Sketches!

Here's 5 sketches featuring Black Cat, a "fireman", a character from the online game "City of Heroes", the Baroness and Wonder Woman. I have also already posted 5 more previously.

I completed around 16 full sized commission sketches for the convention which was A LOT! I will most likely only do 10 next year as I ended up not seeing or doing much else in San Diego.

San Diego 2010 REWIND Part One - The Loot!

I spent most of the convention at my table as I had a new sketchbook myself and I kind of needed to be there in order to sell it! I ended up doing about 16 full size commissions like I have posted previously plus hundreds of head sketches. Fortunately, by sitting down at your booth - people come up to you! I ended up talking to all my editors from Marvel, Humanoids and former editors/colleauges ( plus pros, fans, dealers, associates, etc!)

Here's all the books I came back with - Clockwise from Top Left- Arthur Adams Colorsketchbook, The Rocketeer Artist's Edition, Humberto Ramo's New Sketchbook, Dean Yeagle's New Sketchbook, Francisco Herrera's New Sketchbook, Cheek's New Book, AH! New Sketchbook, 3 of Stephane Roux's Sketchbooks, Chris Sander's New Sketchbook, Tom Bancroft's New Sketchbook (this was sent to me after the show), Mark Schultz's New Sketchbook, Jim Cheung's New Sketchbook, Colin Wilson's Sketchbook, Arthur Adam's New Sketchbook and Frank Cho's New Sketchbook (and after looking at the pic, there are a few missing!).

I only bought two of the above books - The Rocketeer and the Chris Sander's one - everything else was given to me by either the artist or their rep - it's the only real advantage of sitting at your table the whole con! I did put in an order after the show to both Brandstudio Press and Stuart NG for all the stuff I missed out on!

I had never heard of Colin Wilson but he had picked up my sketchbook at the Bud Plant booth and so stopped by my booth and introduced himself and gave me a copy of his sketchbook. He's from New Zealand and has spent the last 15 years drawing some amazing comics in France!

I think my favorite sketchbook was the Chris Sanders one - I really adore his drawings.

In my little time out, Rachel and I shopped a bunch for gifts for family members (and I ended up getting two real cool t-shirts!). So I ended up not seeing much of the con, but a lot of the con came to me!

Supergirl sketch SDCC 2010

This is a unique sketch, featuring Supergirl, from SDCC 2010. It's drawn knowing there will be a 2nd commissioned figure put in at a later convention, Batgirl, who I roughed in quickly here. Fun setting yourself up like that for a challenge! Though I think this was the harder stage as the Batgirl will practically draw herself!


Drawn with Col Erase Light Blue Pencil, Staedtler HB Lead, Black Copic Mulitliners 05 and 08 Markers, Brown Pitt "S" Marker, Warm Grey Copics and White, Cream and Henna Prismacolor Pencils on 12" x 16" Canson Pastel Paper.

And another one - Psylocke in San Diego!

You know the drill now - Psylocke (of the X-Men) convention sketch from Comic Con International in San Diego, July 2010.

Drawn with Col Erase Light Blue Pencil, Staedtler HB Lead, Black Copic Mulitliners 05 and 08 Markers, Brown Pitt "S" Marker, Warm Grey Copics and finally some White and Henna Prismacolor Pencils on 12" x 16" Canson Pastel Paper.
