San Diego Comic-Con 2011!!!

If you’re attending San Diego Comic-Con 2011, come by Girls Drawin Girls Booth #5628 (same place as last year) and come say hi!! I'll be busy working the GDG booth selling our latest book of collected pin-up work (with a NEW piece by me!!), as well as a selection of over 20 new prints and 30 necklaces by yours truly! And, if I'm lucky, I might have some new sketchbooks to give out. Whoo hoo!

I will be working the booth Saturday AM, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday afternoon! Come by Saturday to check out my latest cosplay outfit, Mad Men PowerGirl!

I will (hopefully!) be also drawing over at the Sketch Theatre booth over by Gnomon at some point during the weekend.... will keep you updated! : D

Thursday with Drink n' Draw

Thursday night Damon and I met up with a bunch of awesome artists at Hennesseys in San Diego for Drink n' Draw.  We had some amazing models from Gallery Girls dressed up as sexy devils, so it was a really fun evening!

Back from San Diego Comic-Con!

Here's Wednesday's drawing- I worked at the Girls Drawin Girls booth from preview night to tear down! I'm exhausted!

Comic-Con Inspired by: Mike Mignola

So, I'm going to try and do my next few drawings inspired by some of the amazing artists I got to meet and see down at the San Diego Comic-Con.

This piece is totally inspired by the art of Mike Mignola, the creator of Hellboy. I was so excited to get the chance to meet him at the con; it was totally by luck that I happened by his table, and there weren't any crowds, so I went up and got to talk to him and get him to sign one of his sketchbooks for me! (eeee!) I love his blocky graphic style, his strong contrast/silhouettes, and especially the way he draws monsters and skulls. (not to mention I just love the characters/storylines in Hellboy, which I'm busy catching up reading now- such an amazing series!!).



Also, apparently Titmouse (where I worked on Metalocalypse S1) animated his one-shot comic a few years ago, The Amazing Screw-On Head, which was a really cool looking animated short.

Anyway, if you haven't, you should check out his work; I enjoy both the movies and comics, but I realize they're two separate creative visions from two immensely talented men (the movies are definitely more Del Toro's direction, vs. the books which are all Mignola)

Back from Comic-Con 2008!!!

Wow, what a great time! The best comic-con yet! I got to run into so many old friends, new friends, see so much inspiring art, costumes, craziness and artists, and just take in the whole energy and excitement of the entire weekend.

I got to sit on a unicorn, see Triumph the insult comic dog interview Wolverine, meet Mike Mignola, get my new exclusive SDCC 08 My Little Pony, go out partying with all my wonderful friends, and meet so so many new incredibly talented artists and get the chance in person to thank a lot of inspiring people and artists. Not to mention stock up on lots of books, freebies, and TONS of photos.

A HUGE thank you to all the amazing artists I got to meet and talk to- I'm going to try and go through all my cards and emails and catch up this week once I recover a bit more. I also want to post and link to artists i got to meet here on my blog and share some of these talented folk with everybody else in the week to come!

Two for one!

Just some quick sketches for tonight; there's the "whoo hoo Comic-Con!" one and the other one was inspired by a happy Rogue Wave song. Guess which is which?

Enjoy!! : D
