C2E2... dunh dunh duhhhhh...

For those who will be coming out to Chicago this upcoming weekend for the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo [also known as C2E2], I will be in artist alley at table I-3.  I will be there all weekend except for a signing with Archaia for the Legends of the Guard trade [which I still don't know when that will be] and the occasional bathroom break.  This year I will have tons of trades of CPG vol. 1 as well as buttons, prints, a special guest appearance by a small spikey potato, maybe portfolios, and I want to display the Kickstarter print.  We will see how that goes though, no promises.  I am working on a new print that is taken from said Kickstarter print and will be a little bit smaller than the stained prints.  I am planning on coloring it, so it will be a lot different than the other prints available.  Here is the black and white version though...

The original is from the border of the Kickstarter print, and measures 3 1/8 inches from coral crown to the end of his sea weedy mustache and 3 1/4 inches from sea shell to sea shell.  I will post the colored version later tonight after I finish it.

I will also be opening a commission list for con sketches, there will be 4 spots a day and they are just a measly $75.  So come early, if you can. 

Hope to see you there!  

New Blog!

Helloooooo... well I've got a new blog.  You can all give thanks or sneers to my dear lovely wife Emily.  She seems to think I need to get out there on the ol interwebs, so she created a new spot for me to ramble on about what I'm up to and art and stuff like that.  So, well, I'm not doing much, I've been working on the special print for all the wonderful people who contributed to the trade of CPG vol. 1 via Kickstarter.com.  It's been a long time coming and I'm definitely past the 50% mark, so that's good.  I just want to let you all know it is still in the works and you will eventually get one... I'm having a lot of fun with it, which equates to -I'm making it more difficult with every new little critter and sculpture I come up with to pack into it.  I have Twittered a sneak peek at a part of it, that also appeared on my FB account here- cpg w/ merstag and Turnip.  I won't be posting any more of this until it's more completed, so there.

I will however, post some stuff up you won't have seen before.  These are some con sketches from last year's San Diego Comicon.  

There is a bunch to catch you up with, but I think I'll save some for another time.  I'm gonna try to do this more regularly, wish me luck.
