Oddly Normal, re-imagined to suit my current style:

San Diego Comic-Con 2009

It's that time again.  July . . . and that means that the San Diego Comic-Con will be starting much sooner that I'm ready for it to start.  So much to do yet and so little time.

*sigh*

Anyway, I'll be there in Artist Alley, as usual.  My Artist Alley table number is CC-18.  I'll be next to my pal Grant Gould once again, which is great (he just announced that his graphic novel is becoming a webcomic, by the way).

This year at Comic-Con I'll be selling Oddly Normal books, natch.

I'll also have plenty of copies of Little White Rectangles Vol II, my 2009 con sketchbook.  The interior pages contains 81 sketch card images from the last year or so and 27 7-7-Sunday commissions.  As with last year's con sketchbook, it will be full color, cost just $1 and you will get a free drawing of any character you want on the cover!  Can't beat that deal with a stick.  No sir.

Here's a preview:

I'll also be selling a special 23 page preview ashcan of Spellbinder!

These ashcans will cost (drumroll) . . . one buck.  That's right.  One measly dollar.  Get em while they're hot, folks.

These con sketchbooks and ashcans will only be available for purchase at comic book conventions, store signings or other public appearances.  I will not be offering them for sale online.

I hope everyone gets a chance to pick one up from me and get a sketch!  See you in San Diego!

T-Bird & Oddly

 
T-Bird & Throttle #0, the Special Origin Issue, is in stores now!  Thanks again to Josh Howard for asking me to be a part of the project.  I hope that his fans enjoy my small contribution to the book!  You can buy copies in the Viper Comics Online Shop, btw.

San Diego Comic-Con 08

Well, it's that time of year again . . . the San Diego Comic-Con approaches.  I can't believe it's already time to fly off to San Diego.  I'm really not ready for the con season to start . . . too much work to do . . . but it's here, so I'll be there.

This is my last blog post before taking off for the con, so I wanted to remind everyone about where I'll be and what I'll be selling at the con one last time.

Unlike last year, I will be attending every day of the con, including Preview Night.  I'll be spending most (if not all) of my time at my Artist Alley Table, CC-17, sandwiched between friends and fellow sketch card artists Grant Gould and Cynthia Cummens. 

 I'll also be selling copies of my brand new convention sketchbook:

Once again, here are the specs:

• 16 interior pages
• 144 scans of personal sketch cards that were drawn by me over the previous year
• Full color
• Space on the cover for a FREE sketch (in the same dimensions as one of my sketch cards)
• All for the low, low price of ONE BUCK

Can't beat that deal with a stick.  I'm bringing 190 copies to the con, so there should be enough for all that want one.  Or maybe not, who knows.  Better get to my table as soon as you can.

I'd just like to reiterate that my con sketchbooks are for CONS ONLY.  I will not be selling them online.  I will not be shipping any out to buyers.

I have had many requests to purchase them and have them shipped to the buyer, and while I appreciate the interest in my work, I must stand firm and say "no".  These books are meant to be a low-priced "extra" for my con appearances, not as a stand-alone product, even though I could make more money by making them the latter.

I may (and I stress "may") eventually offer the books as free extras along with sketch card sales on eBay, but only if I have any left over when the con season ends (and only if I still have any personal sketch cards left to sell, which I probably won't, since I only have 10 left to sell).

I thank everyone for their interest in the con sketchbooks.  As I said before, the best way to get one if you're not going to be attending a show that I'll be at is to get someone to buy one for you.

And if that weren't enough, Viper Comics will also debut Josh Howard's new series, T-Bird & Throttle, at the show.  The inaugural issue is #0, an origin special, and I drew the "comic-within-a-comic" inside.  So be sure to pick up a copy of that, as well!

See you at the con!

2008 Convention Sketchbook

It's that time of year again . . . the San Diego Comic-Con is on the horizon and that means that I have a new convention sketchbook to show off to the masses!

Here's a sneak peek:

Here are the specs:

• 16 interior pages
• 144 scans of personal sketch cards that were drawn by me over the previous year
• Full color
• Space on the cover for a FREE sketch (in the same dimensions as one of my sketch cards)
• All for the low, low price of ONE BUCK

I'll be selling them at my convention appearances from now until next summer (sorry, no online sales).  My first con will be San Diego, but I'm sure that more will be added to my schedule.

See you at the cons!

I'll be appearing at both of the Amazing Fantasy comic book stores in the Hampton Roads area on Free Comic Book Day (Saturday, May 3rd, 2008) along with pals Marc Deering and Drew Moss.  I'll be selling copies of Oddly Normal 1 and 2 for $5 each, as usual.  If you're in the area, stop by between the hours of 11am and 6:00pm!
