Bodie Troll

Hi all,

This Thursday BODIE TROLL #1 comes out written and illustrated by amazing cartoonist, Jay Fosgitt. Bodie Troll is an all ages comic about a grumpy troll named Bodie.

Jay asked me to do a pin-up for the series and I was super excited that it got put into issue 1. So get to your local comic shop and pick yourself up a copy this Thursday!

I will be attending c2e2 with some familiar faces and Jay will be there with copies of issue 1 as well. So stop by the weekend of April 26-28 and say hey!

oh and btw here's my print I did for the book:

c2e2 2013

The big Chicago Convention c2e2 is three weeks away April 26-28th at the West Building of McCormick Place. This show is always a great time so come see me at Artist Alley table L6A along with friends, Joe Foo, Mike Roll, Victor Dandridge, Jay Fosgitt, and much more!

One thing I am excited about is this year they are doing an Artist Alley Stage and they asked me to be a part of the line up!

So here's my time for that:

Post: Dan Con 2013

On March 17 I attended Dan Con at the Orland Park Civic Center. Since we moved to Orland, the convention was literally down the street from our new apartment. This was only my second year attending the show but it felt like a show I've been a part of since it's beginnings. It's because Decapitated Dan and his lovely wife, Amy, make you feel so welcomed at their show. It's about the creators and the artists. You get a sense of comfortableness, like you belong there.

My only complaint really is that it's short, it being a one day con. Luckily Dan has divided the show into two seasons, Spring and Fall. And its not like the show takes a while to really get going, the numbers in attendance are pretty big. It's almost you wished it would go on for a bit longer just so you can interact more with the fellow creators and the crowd in attendance.

I had a great time this year and I debuted my new convention banner. Nic had to step out for the day to attend to some wedding stuff but overall I handled it pretty well. I didn't draw as much as I would have liked to but people were really into the WIWL prints and books, which I can't complain.

They had a raffle in which I offered up these horror movie sketch cards and an exclusive Dan Con print I did just for the show.

I had a great time and I got to visit with my friends Dave and Rene from INSTANT PRESS COMICS! It was a great start to my convention season and I look forward to next year's show!

Dan Con 2012

This Saturday I will be at Dan Con Comic Con at the Orland Park Civic Center from 10am-4pm! Click here for more info! I will be attending with friends, Dave and Rene of INSTANT PRESS COMICS and Lee O' Hanlon! See you Saturday!
