Heroes Con is coming up in a week!  I will be at Indie Island, sharing some space with Stephen Floyd of One Percent Press.  I'll have copies of The Ride Home, Tales of Unusual Circumstace, and The Late-Night Gang (making it's first appearance at a larger show) for sale.
 

Also, making their convention debut will be a postcard set of my Kaiju Life illustration series, which will be available individually and as a set!

This will be my first time attending Heroes Con, but from what I hear, original art and sketches are popular at this event.  I think this year I'm going to just feel it out, and not bring up any of my original pages, but I will be selling 5.5"x7" custom ink drawings, probably around $10 each depending on a variety of factors.  In preparation for this, I went out and purchased a fancy brush pen, some nice paper, and a Pandapple bag to carry my supplies in!  I was itching to try out my new pen, and to get some practice drawing superheroes, so here are the sample drawings that I will be bringing to the show:

The final sketch is an example of something that was a bit more complex, with several characters, overlapping elements, etc, that I would charge a little more for.  But that kind of discussion can come up at the show.  These 4 sample sketches will be on sale, but as I did them at home, put a *little* more care into them, and since they are more specifically for the purpose of examples for my table, I will ask a little more for them as well.

I hope to see you at the show!  If you'll be there, please stop by my table and say "hi!"
 

And the Tree Frog fan art just keeps coming!  Joining the club with such greats as Chris Ruggia and a youngster named Tolling...Mister Andrew Wales!

Bumping into our hero is The Mighty Andar, who appears in Andy's Eclectic Comics!  Thanks a lot Andy!
 

Mr. Phil posted a nice photo of the freshly printed Awesome 2: Awesomer anthologies! Looks great! I can't wait to see them in real life! A2:A will be debuting at MoCCA this weekend, and they estimate that it will be in stores June 17th. Just a reminder, this book features my story, "Meet My Girlfriend, The Hopping Vampire!"

I always enjoy seeing cartoonist friends of mine (like Drew Weing, Chris Schweizer, and Kazu Kibuishi for instance) post comics process guides/tutorials.  They often make me think, "Hm...maybe I'd like to do that some time..."  I've had this thought in the back of my head while working on my next book, Cavemen in Space.  The other day it occurred to me that as I head towards the final stretch of CiS, it would be harder and harder to do this without giving away too many spoilers!  So, I found a relatively tame page, and decided to go for it!

I'll try to keep it relatively brief, while touching on some details that I find myself repeating to people from time to time.  So, here it is, the evolution of page 185 of Cavemen in Space!

They'll be at Heroes Con!

Also...Eddie loves Star Trek.  Or maybe not.

The One Piece TV anime has just reached 400 episodes!!  And, yes, I have watched every single one.  Even the dreadful Apis Arc...

Congratulations to Eiichiro Oda on his wonderful creation being such a huge success.  The manga is still going strong as well (with close to 550 chapters, and 53+ volumes)!
 

Rich, from the Cable & Tweed blog, has scanned several sketches by Michele, Eleanor, Drew, and myself from Free Comic Book Day (as I mentioned in my last post).  They can be seen here and here.  My sketches all turned out crap, because the sparkly gel pens didn't scan too well.  Please imagine how shiny and neat they look in real life!

God, I love that Wolverine.
