Pictures from NYC Comic Con 2009

This past weekend, the fourth annual New York City Comic Con brought fans and professionals from all over. Overwhelming, exciting and inspiring, these picts are but a taste of what went down.

I regret to say that I didn't take pictures of some amazing artists such as Cully Hamner, Nathan Fox, Walter Simonson, Brian Bolland, Mark Texeira, Ted McKeever, Eduardo Risso, etc etc. But I had fun and look forward to the next con.

Ginormous line leading to the con. To give you an idea of how ginormous this thing was: this pict is just of 1/5 of just this line. There were more attendees already halfway onto the floor and inside the con.

The Ivanovs let it all hang out.
(Irina Ivanova and Serg Ivanov.)








Gotta love us.
(Nanette Maxim, Kris Dolbear, Joe Carmona, and Jiaxing Rong)



This is what the NY Comic Con is all about.
(Serg Ivanov and I.)







The great Brian Stelfreeze makes a rare appearance at the Con. Here he's sketching for a little boy who's going to be an artist when he grows up.

Skull Tendrils Inked

With a couple of brushes, black acrylic ink and a micron pen to ink, I plunged into the Lovecraftian looking skull and came up with this.




















This is a color sample to get an idea of tones. I plan to color this digitally.





















I plan to make a bookmark or a mini print from this image. If all goes well, I'll get an artist alley table at next year's New York Comic Con where you can see the prints. (I'm on the waiting list.)

A Couple of Penciled Ilustrations for Future Prints

Though I'm still on the waiting list for an artist alley table at next year's New York Comic Con, I'm working on stuff just in case.



















I originally penciled this werewolf months ago. I feel like I should redo the moon...


















I planned to make bookmarks out of this skull illo. (PS. Those are tendril-like things coming out of the skull's base. Very Lovecraftian. Hehehe.)

More stuff to come as soon as I finish the pencils.
