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 all day Friday.

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.

Sketches are $350 each for 12 x16 and $200 for 9 x12 and $150 for Blank Sketch Covers.

ORIGINAL ART

I will be selling original art from Star Wars: Princess Leia #1-2, X-Men, Catwoman, Songes/Muse, Avengers, Avenging Spider-Man, The Defenders, Uncanny X-Men, Wonder Woman and selected covers, pinups and sketches.

PRINTS/POSTCARDS

I'm produced the Official ECCC print, limited to a signed/numbered edition of 250 - for sale at the ECCC Merch Booth for $20.

I also will have a new RED ONE print available for ECCC.

Making of the RED ONE #1 Cover

RED ONE #1 is out in stores today, 3/18, written by Xavier Dorison with art by Rachel Dodson and me.

Take a look at how we made the first cover.

Here's Rachel's inks.

Rachel uses Windsor Newton Series 7 Kolinsky Sable #2 Brush and Higgins Black Magic Ink to ink the covers with.

I dropped in my pencil version of the face as I felt it conveyed the emotion better.

The flat stage

The first stage of coloring is to have the art "flatted".

Flatting allows me to choose an area to color at any point throughout the coloring process.

At this stage I go and adjust the colors to their medium value or imprimatura - I use this as the starting point

Initial rough in of colors

Really focused on the flesh.

The final art - I knocked out all the interior line art - turning the black line art to color line art - especially on the costume and flesh.

I use Photoshop CS3 and Wacom Cintiq 13HD to color with.
