Hal Jordan saves the day... again...

NEEEEEEGGGGGGGGH!

Nah, today was sweet. Everything was very perfect. Despite what December 19th has been in the past, today it dun' good.

Lots of other people there

As I found out after my first picture, pretty much everyone was doing licensed characters, mostly Batman and other DC sorta stuff.
This chick was doing a Mad Harley Quinn picture.

There was about 2 tables of just local artists there. One guy even brought in a big canvas and did a Jack Skellington acrylic painting.

We tried auctioning off the 200 dollar Harvey Dent masterpiece, but sometimes art is just pearls before swine.

After floating my first picture to the online webcam audience, I was commissioned to do Hal Jordan for a nice fellow in Texas named Don Smith. He paid a grand 30 dollars upfront for it, so I'm working hard so he gets his money's worth. Don's also the managing editor for Cosmic Book News. He hasn't seen my webcomic yet... but if it's good enough it might get some play on his website.

Not that I think Naked Matador Stories IS good enough yet... Not to put myself down, it's just sorta crappily spliced together with my work schedule and I don't have the time to sit down and churn out quality pages.

But nevertheless... publicity is good...

The finished Quinn! Isn't it great? Sold in seconds!

I think it was a great success. My Uncle George got me some display cases for my little phone charms for Sac-anime, and I got my table squared away with Jason Dube.

It's looking good over here! I just need to finish the picture for Don and maybe I should finish the next chapter of NMS...

No way to go but up...

Haha! Late review! Yes!

It was AMAZING guys. Seriously a fine fine work of disney art that will hopefully wash away all that Zach and Cody and Wizards of Waverly place business... If you have kids, take them to see this Mastuhpeece.

Disney is also making ANOTHER princess movie at the moment scheduled to come out sometime next year. It's supposed to be hand drawn, but made to look like it's on glass or something... I don't remember the details, but it's Rupunzel.

So the, uh, game plan. Right.

I got a nice little invite to a Christmas-themed charity auction at Empire Comics in Sacramento. It's 11 AM to 8 PM and, as I understand, you just sit down, draw some comic-like christmas stuff, and they auction it off for Toys for Tots.
It's sort of strange that I come here for 5 months and get more exposure then I ever got in Minnesota. I guess that's California for you...

But I got to do something I've been meaning to do for a LONG time...

Business Cards! Yay!

Other then looking bug-eyed and psychotic... I am ready to kick ass.


Not been drawing a hell of a lot of good stuff lately... hopefully the holidays will get rid of that.


My official "Holidays" Card. This is the second year I've actually done one. Like everyone else in the world, I abhor christmas, so I look to the more optimistic side of celebrating The New Year. I love the song Auld Lang Syne... so I guess it just fits.



I don't personally have a preference for who sings it, but this doesn't sound bad.
Mozes is always the one I draw for the picture too... so weird... Anyways.
I'll take to my tradition of trying to upload it on the stroke of midnight on the 31st...

Look for me at Empire! I'll post pics here later.
