Loved all the sketch requests this year! Hope everyone had as great a time at Heroes as I did, and I’m really looking forward to next year — maybe I’ll get to hit Price’s Chicken Coop in 2010! Thanks to Shelton, Dusty, Doug, and everyone else for putting on such a great show.

Hard to believe it’s convention season again! About to head out for HeroesCon this weekend, but I wanted to put up some of the sketches from the recent NY shows.  We’ve got a few headshots I did for fundraising at MoCCA as well as some pieces from the Big Apple Con. (If anybody else from MoCCA has scans of the sketches I did, send ‘em in and I’ll add them to the post.) Special thanks to Elan Bosworth from MoCCA and Allan Rosenberg from Big Apple for running things so smoothly.

For those of you going to Charlotte, I’ll be at table 631, right next to my good friends THE BLVD. I’ll have my banner this year, so I should be easy to spot. See you there!

Who doesn’t love Elektra:Assassin? Or Jennifer Beals, for that matter? Originally, this was going to be Elektra on a rooftop with dead ninja at her feet, but luckily I remembered that classic honeymoon suite scene, which allowed me to throw in some more comic references.

This was a blast to draw. After years of brush inking, it was liberating to grab a pen and just mess around. I think the brilliant source material inspired me to experiment and play with the look of the piece, and it turned out to be a great learning experience. I’ve still got a few more ideas for other album covers that I’ll get to soon.
