SIGNING

I will be signing books/comics/statues/etc at my table the whole show and for free.

COMMISSION SKETCHES

I will take sketch requests from the start of the show Friday and the first part of Saturday.

I will write down all names however I will be choosing myself who's sketch I'm drawing and if you had a sketch recently I won't be doing you a sketch so I can try to get sketches down for fans who I haven't done sketches for.

ECCC is a VERY busy con so I will only be producing about 10 sketches.

Sketches are $250 each for a single figure and $150 for a bust. 

ORIGINAL ART

I will be selling original art from Avengers, Avenging Spider-Man, The Defenders, Uncanny X-Men, Wonder Woman and selected covers, pinups and sketches.

PRINTS/POSTCARDS

I will have the New York, San Diego Gaslamp Quarter, Paris and Seattle prints for sale. I will also have postcards of all 4 available plus a brand new Peace on Earth Postcard.

See you there!

Songes Tome 2 Page 29 Step by Step

Here's how I made Songes Tome 2 Page 29. 
To ease any problems in the translation, I do storyboards for the writer, Denis-Pierre Filippi to approve before I draw the pages. This is the storyboard for Songes Tome 2 Page 29. The storyboards are done at 3 x 4 " on 8.5 x 11" paper with Blue and HB Pencil, Pitt Pens and Copic Markers.


Here's the lineart - into the Aladdin, 1001 Nights, etc - fun stuff to draw and create.
 Drawn on 13 x 19" 2 ply Bristol Board with Blue and HB Lead and borders ruled with .80 tech pen. So I shoot from these the pencils so they are very tight (for me)! I actually had to draw the FULL BLEED in the  Top LEft on an additional piece of paper.

The lineart is darkened and cleaned in Photoshop and turned into a Bitmap.


The colors were done by Rebecca Rendon and me in Photoshop. The art was colored in Channels - a method I learned from Alex Sinclair.

Pretty layed a warm orange over the entire page and then added and subtracted to that to get that "harem" feel.

Just got a stack of my new trade paperbacks from Marvel - The Defenders Vol 2, Avenging Spider-Man : The Good, The Green and The Ugly, Uncanny X-Men The Complete Collection by Matt Fraction 1, and a blast from the past - X-Man: Dance with the Devil. Wow, that's a lot of stuff in the last month. And last month the Avengers Vs X-Men collection came out as well!
