We now interrupt this neglected blog...

To shamelessly pimp me and Damon at Alternative Press Expo (aka APE) THIS weekend, October 13-14th in San Francisco, CA!

Art! Comics! Prints! Commissions! Jewelry!

Come on down and say hi! I miss you dear bloggity readers; life's been crazy, one day I'll get back on this horse, I promise!

Til then!

APE roundup!

SO so sorry for the lack of posts/delay in my APE round-up post! 

APE 2011 was absolutely fantastic- thank you to everybody who swung by our booth and said hi and bought some awesome art!  Here are some pics from the event...  I am pleased to say we have SOLD OUT of our first run of "The Incident at Exit 88," but we are considering a second printing, so stay tuned! Also pending is an Etsy store upgrade which will feature a fuller selection of prints, artwork, and sketchbooks for both me and Damon : D

The ever so sweet Inci and her new San Francisco doodle : D

OMG KATE BEATON! I was so super thrilled to meet her and have her sign my book! She is such a doll! (and thank you Kate for putting up with my fan-girl nerves! ha!)

Emerald City Comic-Con 2011 Wrap-Up

A huge thanks to everybody who swung by Seattle this weekend and say to me and Damon as we headed up our first ever individual table over in Artist Alley!!

The weekend was a huge success; met many new fans, met up with old friends, and hung out with some wonderfully talented artists!

Friday Damon and I got interviewed for an awesome podcast called Air Raid, and talked about working in the industry and how we met. Go check out the podcast here!

That evening, we got to go hang out with the ifanboy people and Molly McIsaac and do some live painting with some really great artists. Damon and I got to work on a painting side by side (and with!!!) Camilla D'Errico, Scott C and Jim Mahfood. The paintings were later auctioned off for charity Saturday night.

Painting by me, Damon and Jim Mahfood!

Saturday and Sunday, we got to meet and hang out with other artists at the con. There were a bunch of Girls Drawin Girls ladies around the exhibit hall, including Laurie B, Brittney Lee, Liana Hee, Megan Levens, and Amy Mebberson.

Brittney, Me and Liana; some AMAZINGLY talented ladies!

More awesome artists who I got to run into and who you should TOTALLY check out their works are Echo Chernik, Alberto Ruiz, Drake Brodahl, Dean Trippe, Kevin Dart, and too many more to mention!

Chillin' with Scott C and Jim Mahfood

I have two remaining necklaces for sale, and a few sketchbooks and prints that I'll put be putting up on my Etsy store, so if you missed out, don't worry- there's still a few goodies left!

Here are a few commissions and sketch cards I did for folks!

All in all, a great time was had by all, and Damon and I are already signed up for ECCC 2012! 

Also, a HUGE thanks out to Jim Demonakos of Kirby Krackle for his amazing hospitality and for running an amazing show!!!

That thou canst never once reflect, on Old Long Syne

First off, let me say that I have not (I repeat, not!) forgotten about you, lovely blog readers! December 2010 came and went in it's usual whirlwind of holiday-ness, and between work, paintings, and life in general (including jury duty, full time work, freelance, moving Ghost, being sick, and traveling), it's been tough keeping up with uploading scans of everything!

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you for reading my blog, checking out my artwork, and being so amazingly supportive! It's been a huge year full of art shows for me, and I'm so excited to see my work and style evolving and starting to come into its own.

Here is a quick photo of me and Damon at our New Years Party last night; I am planning on continuing drawing every day in 2011, and here's to many more art shows, paintings, and wonderful adventures together!

Wishing you all the best in 2011! (new scans/drawings to come soon, plus info on my two upcoming shows next weekend at Gallery 1988 and Cactus!)
