C2E2 2012 This Weekend!

If you're planning on hitting the Chicago Comics & Entertainment Expo 2012 (C2E2), this weekend, you can plan on seeing me there! I'll be a special guest of the extraordinary gentlemen from Nerd City (booth #842), all weekend.

I'm going to be rocking live painting & commissioned sketches in the booth, so you'll be able to see me create this crazy magic of mine, live and in person.

I'll also have a selection of convention exclusive prints, featuring seventeen fan-art favorites that I've created over the past two years. These pieces will include selections from Alphabet Attack! Series 1 & 2. You'll only be able to score these from me during C2E2, so don't miss this rare opportunity to own a print!

And there will be plenty happening, beyond the convention floor. Ignite your convention weekend fuse, Friday night, with The Nerd City Monster's Ball at Reggie's Rock Club. It's sure to be a whisky-soaked after party, complete with DJ's, live bands and down & dirty fun! The gang & I will also be bringing the thunder with a Saturday evening panel, "Booze, Idiocy & Dumb Luck: Nerd City's Guide to Becoming a Media Super Star." Come sit in and learn everything you've ever wanted to know about making it in showbiz, life, and geek love!

So between the convention and the plethora of after-hours events going on, this is going to be an action-packed weekend of comics & entertainment culture. Hope to see you there!

Scud, Catwoman & Jonah Hex Round Out This Week's "...Attack!"

The Attack Is Back!

In case you didn't notice, I've launched into Alphabet Attack! Series 2. This time around, I'm creating daily illustrations based on comic book characters. Of course, I'll be rocking drawings of the spandex super-humans I grew up with. But I'm also paying homage to the weirdo, indie creations that have inspired me over the years. Either way you cut it, the formula equals F-U-N for fans of all shapes and sizes.

"E" is for "Ewoks!"

Strictly speaking about Return of The Jedi -- sure, Lando and Wedge took out the Second Death Star. Luke bested Vader and Vader took out The Emperor. Han and Leia did... something, I guess. But -- love 'em or hate 'em -- The Ewoks made the Imperial infantry look like punk-ass tricks! Hence me dedicating The Letter E to them.
