Kapow! Comicon Sketch Info



Ok, this con is so short and I will have virtually no time to draw sketches because this is my first trip to London and I'm not going to be sitting in my hotel room sketching while I should be out on a double decker bus - but I know a lot of you want to get on my sketch list so I am taking a pre-convention sketch list for the first time. 

So, in order to get on the list you have to -

a) be able to pick up the sketch at the Kapow Con May 19-20 in London, England in PERSON!
b) Pay for 1/2 sketch upfront to reserve your spot on the list
c) and I get to choose which sketches I'm doing

SO HERE'S THE DETAILS

As it will be very difficult to take a list and do the sketches at the show, I'm going to take a list of pre-show sketches online. I will do as many as I can and I will notify you by email if you have been selected.

After I inform via email that you have been selected - to reserve sketch, pay 1/2 up front via Paypal and the rest in person when you pick up sketch. You can pay the full amount up front via Paypal if you want.

These sketches will be done before and during the show, not after.

PRICES

- 11x14"  "Convention Sketch" bust (waist/torso up) - pen, greytone markers, colored pencil on colored paper £100

- 11x17"  "Convention Sketch" full figure - pen, greytone markers, colored pencil on colored paper  £185

NOTES ON SKETCHES

-All single figure

-One sketch per person

-Can be done on White Strathmore Bristol Board instead of colored for same price but let me know NOW!

-If pencil only add £60 to price

-If ink only (no added greytone) add £30 to price

-I have final say on which sketches I do, how many, my interpretation of character, taste, etc, but I assume you want me to do the sketch for a reason ;-)

-Rachel will not be inking any sketches

DETAILS

You must pick up IN PERSON at the Kapow! Comic Convention in London May 19-20.

If you don't pickup in person I'm will sell the sketch as I will not be mailing art or making any other arrangements.

These are CONVENTION sketches not commissions and will treated and executed like my traditional convention sketches and there are plenty examples of sketches online so there shouldn't be any surprises.

No returns, refunds, hassles, etc.

I'm just trying to get sketches to those of you who want sketches and can't make it to shows in the US!

Hopefully that is everything! This is my first time doing a pre-convention list - I will do my best to deal with your request. If not, know I tried :-) I reserve the right to make changes and extra REASONABLE requests to this list, if I happen to remember later, but for the benefit of all!

To inquire about getting on the list - please send type of sketch and character to and that you will be able to pick up in person to-

NO EXCEPTIONS


Whooh - now I know why I don't do this! ;-)

Thanks!

Emerald City Comicon Wrap

A little post con wrap.

The fans were amazing (and of course the show itself was run extremely well by
Jim Demonakos), and it was CRAZY busy - felt like San Diego - but just comics
and a manageable size. I got to see and chat with a bunch of other pros - there
are so many there and you get a chance to talk to everyone (if you can get away
from you table that is).

It's funny how big cosplay trend has become - Saturday in Seattle felt and looked like Saturday in San Diego - crazy!

And of course, Seattle is a great city to visit - never enough time to see
everything we wanted to. Rachel stuck gum to the gumwall at Pike Place, we had
crumpets at the Crumpet Shop, had breakfast at the Athenian with a view of the
sound, had an amazing doughnut at Top Pot and made it up to Captitol Hill for a
dinner.

The reception to the Seattle Print was better than expected and we sold out
Saturday afternoon - thanks! I will be doing another printing of it, because so
many people wanted and it will be available at future appearances and IF I can
solve shipping problems, available online as well.

I ended up doing 7 commissions. As usual, there wasn't more than 10 minutes of
free time at the show to do the commissions so I ended up having to do them in
the hotel room. I'm starting to post them here .... now!

Didn't have time to see anything else at the con but I was given the new Bruce
Timm Naughty and Nice book (courtesy of the publisher and all around good guy
John Fleskes) and Brittney Lee's book (who did a great little dedication for
Rachel and I) - she was sitting directly across from us and we kept noticing her
art. She's works for Disney Feature Animation and does the prints for fun -
check her out.
