I'm In The Daily Herald!

The Daily Herald covered the Comic Book Mania! 2010 Convention I attended this past Saturday. The article mentions me because of an impressed little girl I requested a sketch.

"I really liked her designs," Chantelle said of artist Serena Guerra's work at the convention. "I like fantasy - it makes your imagination come out."

I'm also in the picture posted on their website... well sort of.



There's Jeff and I behind Art Baltazar's table signage!

Comic Book Mania! Convention 2010

I will be attending the Comic Book Mania! Convention at the Gail Borden Public Library in Elgin, IL. I'll be showing off my portfolio and doing some sketches. Since it's only a one day convention, I'll be taking commissions to be worked on at home and ship them out once finished.

Farewell Kiddie Kandids...

With the sudden closing of Kiddie Kandids I, as well as hundreds of others, am left with a terrible uncertainty in tough times. But, I will still fondly remember Kiddie Kandids as one of the best jobs I've ever had, with the best people ever. I learned so much and I will always appreciate them for that. I know I will be keeping in contact with so many of the wonderful people I met there in the past couple years and I wish them all good luck.

A Neverending Story

What are you going to wish for?

Some More Comic Book Character Fun...

I did these drawings for the Aspen Comics Art Room Sketch Challenge. It's held once a week and voted on by our peers, than the winner gets to pick who/what we will be drawing next week. There's no major prize other than practice and whatever knowledge can be gained from the critiques by other aspiring artists. I don't always get the time to do it once a week, but I try it when I can.

The challenge for these two weeks were to draw Supergirl with Krypto and Executive Assistant Iris.
