Back Home From Chicago

So this morning we got back home from Chicago and I think Francis and I spent almost the whole day sleeping. Even though I did get some sleep in the car, I was totally fried today.

So now Chicago...it was a blast. I got a chance to meet lots of new people and get to know new friends. I spent almost the whole convention at my table busy with commissions and what not, but on Sunday we closed down shop early to spend the rest of the con walking around. But...I could not find anything cool to busy, except a few patches for my bag.

I did manage to get a few pictures, but not many. Here are the pictures that I was able to get.


This is a picture of my drawing table at home. As you can see I have two cards displaying artwork by Art Baltazar. I had the pleasure of meeting Art Baltazar and Franco (Who have their totally cool book Patrick the Wolf Boy that I could not put down once I got a copy of it) and now are working on something for the new DC kids line! They are working on Tiny Titans and I can't wait to pick it up when it comes out around January! They were only a few of the wonderful people I got to meet on my trip to Chicago and I really hope I can keep in contact with them.




With my friend Adrian from Runaways right beside me it attacked a nice crowd for his work. In that crowd we even found the Runaways themselves! So cool...


Cbei and Heather in their awesome costumes!! They were so sweet at the con and visited me at my table many times with Jester. Thanks a lot for keeping me company guys! You totally rock :)


Cool Costume of a girl dressed up as the Dark Supergirl


Me and Liana who is dressed up as Power Girl. And man can she pull of that costume!! She was dressed up as Batgirl durning as well. I must say that she has some of the coolest costumes I have ever seen.


Most costumes! Here is Aural, SuperChicka, and Cbei in their costumes...Yes Aurel is dressed up as ummm SuperBoy? hehe....


This is a cool piece of Totoro done by Joel Gomez as a gift for a friend :)


This costume made me laugh


Spiderman (Peter) and me. I met Peter last year, but we barely got to talk till this year. He was kind enough to bring people from the Aspen Forum to my table for me to meet!! Thank you soooo much for that and hanging out with me at my table. It was totally cool hanging out


The wonderful Heather and me. Look Heather's hair looks like my hair too! I have green hair hehe


Now this is sooooo awesome. Francis did a sketch on someone's Xbox cover!!! I saw this and I loved it and I know who ever this is they will love it too


Ths BioShock guy!!! Can't wait till the game it out


And finally...Sunday after the show. Shawn, Kalman, Francis, and I grab some food before our long drive home

Cottage Con

This sunday I drove north of Toronto to Jacksons Point to attend a one day paradise comic convention. This convention was taking place away from the city in a small town,so it was a nice change. Also had beaches every where. My dog Otis came with us hoping to take a nice swim in the water....but all the beaches were listed as no dogs allowed. So that sucked and Otis was sad. At least he was able to spend the whole day with me!

Here are some commissions I did at the con. The first commssion shown here was the biggest one I ever did to date. So many characters! But it was a blast to draw :)


Here is Ivy with Harley:


The Green Lantern:


Starfire with Catwoman:


Green Lantern with Green Arrow:


Shera:


Here is my doggy sporting his SuperDog costume:





Now off to the con itself:


My best friend Jenn who drove up with me and kept me company at the con:


And a view from my corner table of the whole con itself:



I will be posting more San Diego picturs this week :)

San Diego Day 2

So here are pictures of day 2 of san diego. Francis and I really did not spend much time at the con itself because he was playing in the DC vs Marvel baseball game and after that we had dinner.

Here we are on the bus on our way to the game. Here is Matt and Francis enjoying the ride:


The rest of the bus enjoying the ride:


We arrive at the game. Francis and the others (yes I am on the DC side. Had to cheer everyone on!) just hanging out while the game starts to take place:




Even a dog came by to help out with the game:




Oops...almost forgot about the rest of the game :)
Back to Francis:


And Jim gets a hit!


I was also able to capture a home run for DC!


Oh my......


Just hanging out enjoying the game:


More hanging out. This time we have Jann Jones! She was one of the many people I got a chance to meet at the con and not to mention one of the best people to talk too as well. She won me over with her cool TokiDoki bag :)


And the game is over...DC lost once again :( But there is always next year! I know I enjoyed the game. Fun to watch and I had Jann to talk to almost the whole time so I was kept busy :)


Group Shot!


Here is a shot of dinner. It was loads of fun and great food! yum yum yum...



That completes the pictures of day 2. Tomorrow I will try to add pictures of day 3 and so on. Now I must get back to work. I'm sitting here with my work on an art board pretending to get work done as I upload pictures hehe.

Take care and till next time!!

San Diego Day 1

I'm finally back home from San Diego and it was an awesome trip. I had the chance to see some friends that I only get to see during cons and I had the pleasure of meeting a lot of new people.

Since I'm getting around to it, here are some pictures from day 1 of my trip to San Diego!

Francis and I arrived with Joel before preview night was open to the public to catch up with the guys at Aspen






Then we headed over to the artist alley where Joel was seated with the WildStorm guys. Here we see Alex, Oliver, Carlos chatting away


After a short visit at the con, Joel, Francis and I grabbed a bit to eat...and then headed over to the WildStorm studio to catch up on some last minute work. So here are some pictures from our visit there






Stay tuned from more pictures!! :)
