Hangin With Web Show Interview

Last month while at Space Coast Comic Con 2016 I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Garrett Pomichter for his series, Hangin With Web Show. I talk about art, working on television and movies, monsters, and I drink a bottle of water really fast. All the important stuff. I babble on for about 15 minutes so hopefully there are a couple of nuggets of wisdom in there. Enjoy...



That is all for another exciting week on the blog, see you back here on Monday! Until then...

Space Coast Comic Con 2016 Recap

We have returned from another fun filled weekend at the Space Coast Comic Con. First, I want to thank David Grace for inviting me to return as a guest artist at SCCC 2016... many many thanks! Second, thank you to everyone who came by the booth over the weekend, shared their stories, took home monsters, and in general, made for a very special weekend. This was their second year as a con and it was super fun. Looking forward to seeing what they have in store for year 3. This time around it was a three day con with a half day on Friday and then a full day on Saturday and Sunday. Got to talk to a lot of people about my work and had some very interesting interactions. There was one kid who was just not able to accept my interpretations of Pokemon and was getting more and more worked up and upset by them. Fun times! All and all, it was a fun weekend at the SPCC and here are some images from my adventures at my table...

All set up and ready to go!

Space Coast Comic Con - There are back again

I am back from an amazing weekend at Space Coast Comic Con! This post is going out a little late today, but it was a late drive back after the convention came to an end.

First, I want to thank David Grace for inviting me out as a guest of SCCC 2015... many many thanks! We had a great time! Second, thank you to everyone who came by the booth over the weekend, shared their stories, took home monsters, and in general, made for a very special weekend. This was SCCC's first year and in my opinion, it is off to a great start. I generally attend very large events (Gen Con) and it was really fun to be at a more intimate venue where you got to meet a majority of the attendees and vendors. At other conventions I am usually surrounded by my peers and fellow working game artists where the those attending have a general understanding of what we do. At SCCC I was the only artist who worked on games, and that was a new experience for me. I got a chance to tell people about my work and answer a lot of questions about what my life as a working artist is like.

I had my panel about working in the entertainment industry on Sunday afternoon and that was a lot of fun! Thanks to all that came out and asked questions. I hope it was interesting and fun ...and that I did not ramble on too much. Here are some images from the weekend of Space Coast Comic Con 2015...

This looks like the right place!

We arrived on Friday afternoon for set up.

I think I was a little early, but I was ready to get it all set up and together.

Here is the view from my corner of the main hall.

Here is the full view of the main hall from my corner.

Really liked my spot, there was no one to my right so I could spread my elbows a bit and create a slightly larger footprint for my booth.

Speaking of my booth, here it is! I recently acquired my own Pro Panels and this is the first event I have used them at. They worked great and made for a really nice display (IMHO).

Here is the main stage in the second hall.

Oh, and Batman left his Tumbler here for the weekend.

All set up! Other folks are beginning to arrive and things are taking shape.

Tomorrow... the con begins!

Space Coast Comic Con 2015 has begun! Really nice turn out in my opinion. More and more people showed up as the day went on and the hall got nice and crowded.

My one sketch commission of the weekend. They had a drawing pad full of stick figure drawings from artists and various other celebrities. Really impressive collection. I added a tentacled fellow.

The droids I WAS looking for were in attendance.

We got to meet the very cool Rick Stafford who dose among other things a very awesome Aquaman cosplay. If you meet him at a con be sure to say hello!

The Empire...

...and the Rebels...

...and the Empire where in attendance.

Look, sir, DROIDS!

 Sunday was hopping too at SCCC!

More Rick Stafford action at the booth!

Bounty Hunters, we don't need their kind of scum...

I think that is the new Doctor...

And lastly, a shot from the podium at the end of my panel.

Thanks again to all that showed up! RAWR!
