You Are The Last Dragon (You Possess The Power Of The Glow)
I’m back from the convention, trying to get some sleep and recuperate. It’s not easy to slip back into a regular schedule after staying up all hours, fueled by booze and caffeine. It was a great time overall, and I’m making big plans for next year. (More on that when the time comes.) Not too many commissions this year, partly because I spent a lot of time sketching at the DC booth and signing artbooks at Splash Page, but I’ve been really happy with the way these turned out. It was, of course, a pleasure meeting everyone who came up to me at the show, and I’ve met a bunch of comic shop owners I’d love to visit in the coming year. The San Diego show is a lot like New Year’s Eve for me; it’s a chance to look back at the work I’ve done in the past year and see how people have responded to it, and to look ahead towards new work and new projects. There’s a lot for me to process still, but I’m feeling pretty good these days.

A beautiful drawing of Iron Fist and a quote from The Last Dragon? Once again, sir, you have stolen my heart.
In a totally manly way, I mean.

Ha, thanks! I was pretty happy that the quote worked out. I mean, c’mon, the guy has a dragon tattoo AND a glowing fist? Perfect!

Thanks Kyle! I’ve heard great things about the new book, and I’m looking forward to picking up the trade, especially after I met Fraction at HeroesCon. The art looks killer, too.

Hi Cliff,
I’m the guy who requested the Iron Fist commission in San Diego-I picked it up on the last day and missed you, just wanted to say thanks-your work is fantastic and I really love the drawing.
Thanks again
