Montreal Mini Comic Con

The Montreal Mini Comic Con was yesterday! The show went very well; it was the best mini-con I've had in a few years. Thanks very much to everyone who came to my table. I sold out of most of my books and did a bunch of sketches (many for new fans, which is great). Met Marvel artist Nick Bradshaw, who was very cool. We had a nice chat about N.C. Wyeth, and Wolverine.


Now comes the big push before Christmas; finishing up freelance design and illustration work, clearing my commission list (thanks again, everyone!), and finishing up letters for the next issues of Bedlam, Dia de Los Muertos and a new unannounced book.

It's been a hard year, but it's been a very good one. I am very grateful for my fans, my students, my friends, and my family; I really couldn't do any of it without you.

Spider-Man painting

Here's a commission I finished two weeks ago. The client wanted me to paint my version of Spider-Man (and his one true love Mary Jane) and this was the result. The webbed border wrapped around the canvas; I hate it when painters leave the edges blank.

CREATURE commission

I still have three more of these to finish for the Emerald City Comic Con next weekend. Quite fun, actually, people hiring me to draw characters that I would never normally draw. The Creature From the Black Lagoon, it's all about impotence, right? Because The Creature has no genitals and yet he wishes to mate? I really need to rent it, I think.

Taste the harsher justice

A Lobster Johnson commission I just this very second finished.
