On with the sketch!

I was stunned that people wanted SKYWARD-related sketches at Free Comic Book Day this year! Mind you, I DID have copies on-hand of the GRAPHITE EDITION #1 and all the original art as well, but consider me surprised.

In fact, the gentleman that requested this sketch also purchased a page of original art from the series! I had the chance to try out my new CUBE for the iPhone, a handy little credit card reader for my cell phone that lets me take credit card payments anywhere I am. QUITE handy at signings and conventions like last weekend’s FCBD!

I also drew a Quinn, a Slog-Rider, and a Jack the dog for other fans. Glad the characters are appealing to the readers!

Note: This is also my favorite sketch of Free Comic Book Day. I just like the grace of how I rendered her. Lots of fun.

What did you pick up? Were there any creators in attendance signing and sketching? Spill the beans! This was a crazy great year for FCBD– share the love!

On with the sketch!

I dig the Wolverine in the brown and tan– call me old-fashioned, but it best represented the ferocity of the character. In my mind, anyway. All the stripes, seams, and slices in his current look kind of look silly to me. He’s not the kind of guy that would wear much of a uniform anyway, but when he does? I think he’d pick something that gets the message across fast, not something designed to show what he DOES, really, y’know? Maybe it’s just me.

Yeah, can’t imagine WHEN that would be… It’s not like there’s a big anniversary of the sketchblog coming up or something…

On with the sketch!

Well, I thought the scene was a classic, anyway– not every day you’re startled to hear your favorite characters curse seven time in 3 minutes when you’re ten years old– well, not a property like the Turtles, anyway.

I’d been reading the Mirage book since it first came out, but was more prepared to see something more akin to what the cartoon and the Archie books had been presenting, so that was a shock.

Also, the accents. Wasn’t quite ready for that. hehehe

Hey, guys– FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2011 was a smashing success. Perhaps you saw this photo on BleedingCool?

Acme Comics in Greensboro, NC

Yeah– I took that photo. I was dropping off Jermaine Exum, who runs ACME COMICS, after seeing THOR earlier that night– when we saw guys camping out for the Free Comic Book Day even the next day! Spectacular!

In fact, BLEEDINGCOOL.COM picked up the story: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/05/07/camping-out-overnight-for-free-comic-book-day/

And the local news reported live from the event as well! Check it out at:   ACME COMICS\’ FCBD 2011 Channel 2 News recap

Baroness from COBRA for Free Comic Book Day! Playing a flute, no less. Bizarre, I know– but that was the request, and I was more than happy to work on that for the lady in question. She even provided reference! Bravo. Well played.
