Set up and selling at Baltimore Comic-Con. All three days this weekend.
But the highlight if the weekend was already had: meeting Eric Powell, picking up his sketchbook, and showering him with compliments.
But I'll stick around. J21 for my comics, books, and art!

Did a spectacular art trade yesterday with Gloria Lona (instagram.com/glona.create) at Underworld Culture Con. It's easily my favorite art trade I've done. I love this little guy so much. (Pictured with my Creature Coffins™ in the first pic.)

Inking wood, especially trees, is one of my favourite things to do. A lot of freedom and very little structure. Often intuitive.
Also: trying out the process and video thing. But I don't love that.
