Well that was super fun.

I'm relieved, actually. As excited as I was to attend my first TCAF, I was also slightly nervous that my book Teuton and super-hero ladden portfolio wouldn't fit in, but everything went fairly well. While it's true that drawings of caped crusaders have their place at other cons, I found all the people attending TCAF to be open-minded, curious, and eager to discover something completely new. So thank you kindly to everyone who visited and showed their support. Whether you picked up Teuton, Undertow or Book of Methuselah, I hope you return for more.

There's a whole world of comic culture that I've now only just exposed myself too, and it awakens things in my creativity that urges me to take part in it all. I was inspired by everything I saw from friends and strangers alike. Once again I'm excited for the future and at what I may create.

There's a whole ton of other people to thank and acknowledge for making this weekend worthwhile...

Thanks to my pals and table mates Brian Evinou and Fred Kennedy for putting up with me. Thanks to Shane Heron for being a pal and nursing me through my miserable hangover. Thanks to Sam Noir for generously giving me a lift, sparing me a cold and soaking wet walk to Union Station. Thanks to Agnes Garbowska, Meaghan Carter, Marta Chudolinska, Alice Quinn, Marvin Law, Rachel Kahn, Kevin, Shaun, Anna, Leo, Jason, Allison, Adam, Steph, Mike, and all you other beautiful people who said Hello and dropped some coin. Sorry for the acid tongue on Sunday.
 

Here's a few drawings from the weekend, including a super spoilery Game Of Thrones sketch. Reader beware...

Almost Something For TCAF

This weekend I'll be attending TCAF for the first time ever. Read more on that over at Big Sexy Comics.

While considering the TCAF scene, I decided to hammer out an 8-page mini book made special for the show. Something small and personal and overall fun for me. I really like science fiction and aim to write and draw a sci-fi tale

I completed two pages earlier this week before growing unsatisfied with the rushed quality of my work, even though I liked the more fluid way I drew it under the constraints of time. Ultimately I decided to put it on the back burner and focus on Teuton, the book with a big, looming deadline.

Anyway, here's a look at those two pages--for better or worse...

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!

 

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY IS UPON US!

 Here are my final three sketch covers that will be up for grabs today at Stadium Comics. These were certainly fun to do, but I was worried I wouldn't finish them in time as they were sprinkled atop my already heavy workload. 

I'm very excited for today. I'm waiting for my partner in crime, Fearless Fred Kennedy, to roll into town and then it's off to the races!

To all my pals at TCAF, The Comic Book Lounge, Image Collections, I say: Have an excellent day, my friends! I look forward to seeing all the awesome sketches you'll no doubt be doing today plastered on the interwebs!

To all you casual readers, the innocently curious, and the closeted  comic lover, I encourage you all to visit your nearest comic retailer and support your local artists!

So long!
