Comic Con Here I come!

It’s that time again! I am heading down to San Diego tonight for the 2010 Comic Con International. I haven’t actually looked at the schedule yet, but I am sure there will be some amazing sights to behold. I made a little sketchbook too! I won’t have a booth, but I will be wandering around with these doing trades and such if you are interested. I have some extras that I will bring with me to APE in the fall…or maybe put online if anyone is interested. Hope to see you in San Diego!

The cover! Sorry for the terrible iPhone pics.

It’s an accordion book! You can unfold the whole thing for one big picture.

Buster!

After I put up my post about Bandit, another dog commission presented itself. These are a lot of fun, especially when I get to personalize them with toys like a stuffed shark.

How cute is this little guy?

Happy Three Years.

So my girlfriend likes pandas. A lot. She’s been hinting for a while now that she would like another piece of art to add to her growing panda collection and our third anniversary seemed like a good time. And yes, that is a Totoro panda. Watercolor and colored pencil on fancy paper.

Maker Faire in Pictures

Maker Faire was a great success! It is a very unique event…people from all over the country come together to show off their crazy inventions, art pieces, fire breathing sculptures…there’s something for everyone. I hope to be part of it again next year. Until then, check out these pics from Bazaar Bizarre and the surrounding grounds:

Maker Faire is almost here!

One of my favorite shows is coming up in just a few days! The Bazaar Bizarre at Maker Faire is an awesome experience. It’s a juried show, which means the calibre of work there is really great. Beyond the craft/art area is an even richer and expansive treat outside in the world of Maker Faire! This is not one to be missed.

I’ve been hard at work making all sorts of awesome fun stuff for you to get your hands on! Take a look:

These first four were really fun to make. Original hand woodburned and handpainted designs on unfinished wood.

hoot hoot!

I love witches.

I had magnets made of a couple of my monsters!

I also made a bunch of new blank sketchbooks! These are handmade, hand screenprinted by me, with 100% recycled paper and made from old library books! Each one is unique and a labor of love. I’ve got way more than the 4 shown below, don’t worry.

On top of all this stuff I will also have pins and tons of prints, including my three new dogs I just posted here. If you’re in the Bay Area this weekend I highly recommend you stop by! See you all there.

Newfies = Bear Dogs.

One day I will own a dog that looks like a bear. Until then I will have to settle for looking at pictures of breeds like The Newfoundland.
