San Diego Comic Con!
San diego Comic-Con is coming up and i just want to let folks know that I'll be doing sketches of any Legionnaire, for the price of a donation to the Hero Initiative! I'll be at the Hero Initiative Booth from 6:30 through 9pm on Wednesday night at the San Diego Comic-Con. Come one, come all, it's for a good cause.
Special note - you can throw me all the curves you like - the Legion has many very distinct and insane design histories, but if it's super-crazy, bring a little reference for me, so I can do the character justice!
The various and easily provable lies of Sarah Palin
The various and sundry lies of Sarah Palin, now all found in one
place.
Whew - the future is inked!
Well! - Lo3W's is done on my end. Hopefully everyone will like it when it comes out toward the end of this month. There's a double-page spread in there that has a character count of 101... Whew!
Michael Jackson passed away today.
He was 50. I didn't realize he was so young when "Off the Wall" and "Thriller' came out.
I met him 9 years ago at Stan Lee Media. I saw him, thin and pacing back and forth in Peter Paul's office, looking at some of the photos on the wall of Stan hobnobbing with various celebrities and American Presidents and then met him later as he was taking the tour though the offices. He was nearly bouncing off the walls when he was in Peter's office, but I was used to that, since Stan had a lot of energy, and in the context of the company at the time, it didn't seem so peculiar. Michael seemed nice, interested in what we were doing, but without the questions proper to further the conversation.
Not much to it, a lot of people were always passing through SLM. i'd heard that the time that he was planning on investing in the company, but years later, it became apparent that his finances might've been too shaky for him to have been an investor. It's too bad, he and Stan seemed to have had a good relationship, and any extra funding would have been appreciated at the time, although, "ifs" and "shoulda beens" are all gone now.
another podcast I like-
15 minutes with Mark Waid These are kind of neat.
-Because I went to the Kubert school from when I was 10 on, gives me a strange affinity/experience toward the older school stuff that Mark must have experienced when he was present at the tail end of DC's 80's editorial. It's nice to see he's constantly thinking and adapting, and it perks me up when I'm thinking about all the change and adaptation I'm going through with my own work.
Predictably, it begins again.
Thus it begins again.
O'Reilly's target Murdered in his church.
After a little cooling-off period, the real murderers always come back to do their god-given duty.
But this one is coming! Preview for Wolverine: first Class #15!
Apologies for not posting much this past week, I was up to my eyeballs with getting a project done, which, as it turns out, has a shaky release date. No worries, it's done, it looks great and I hope that it'll pop up somewhere fun.
Out this coming Wednesday is Wolverine: First Class #15! Written by Peter David, pencilled and inked by me and colored by the great (and hard working) Ulises Arreola, the book centers around Kitty's teenaged desire to meet Thor.
It's a very funny script. You can click on the images below in order to get a better, larger view. It was a little challenging for me; it had a lot of interesting quiet moments up-front that were necessary to get right. There's quite a bit of heavy action in the second half of the book, so don't let the preview pages throw you off, hitting Mighty Ulik the Troll with a Subway train is only the beginning.
So swing by your comic shop this coming Wednesday and pick up a copy!
