Video - Drawing a Comic Book Page

Hi! I decided to try out videoing myself pencilling a comic page. I started with a simpler layout page to see how it'd go. This is for PONOLOA, the awesome hawaiian fantasy book I've been working on with writer Stephen Smirl and inker/colorist Ray Dillon for probably a few years now, lol! I really enjoy drawing these pages, you can see previous ones HERE Also check out some fantastic artwork from others on the same site :) Let me know what you think!

On this page our hero is being transported from modern Hawaii to the magical world of Ponoloa via enchanted tree, and greeted by Kinipela.



Thanks for looking and I hope you like it :)

Heroes Con and Wizard World Chicago

Just got back from two weeks of cons! I've never done more than one at a time, so I'm pretty pooped now.

Heroes Con in Charlotte was as great as ever, we got to sit next to some great artists, and I got to see the kids again from last year who I think are just incredible and I love watching their art skills grow. If Chase and Olivia are reading this ( and a certain special family, you know who you are!) I think you are amazing and I hope you keep drawing! Can't wait to see you next year!

As for Wizard World, Ray and I decided to go at the last minute, thanks to Kevin Mellon and Dennis Hopeless who let us hitch a ride with them North-ish to Chicago.

The Con itself was pre-tty awesome, I had no idea it was so big... sort of a mini-San Diego. Again I was sketching like a madwoman and couldn't get up from my table for a minute, but I'm not complaining, it was a blast. I met some great people. The first thing I drew was a Poison Ivy requested from a nice guy to give to his girlfriend as a present. She loves daisies so I tried to draw her wrapped up in a 'daisy tree'... he later sent me a picture of his girlfriend with it, which I thought was really nice of him!




Hope you both liked it!

I also got to be a part of the Women in Comics Panel. I didn't say much as I don't really know as much about the industry nowadays as the other ladies did, but I really did enjoy listening to their answers and meeting them later. I was really happy to meet Jann Jones, who is really genuinely happy and having fun working in comics. Sometimes I run into people who treat comics like it's as serious as a plague and never have fun. Comics should be fun people!




As fun as it all was though... my favorite part was eating the free breakfast at the Embassy Suites :D What can I say? I love food...and FREE food is even better!

And of course hanging out with Kevin and Dennis was as wonderful as always. Here's a pic of them being super annoyed by Ray in the back and trying to figure out how to push him out of the car :D

PIC!

And here's a quick sketch I did of their character Shelby from Gear Head.... she's such a cool character.


Well, getting geared up for San Diego now, sorry for the rant but it's late and I don't wanna go to bed yet.
