MN MicroCon 2009



Another MicroCon in the can. It was a fun show, as always - and more packed than usual. Had a pretty good crowd almost the whole day. :)

Artist Jessica Hickman became an Honorary Member of the 501st (courtesy of 501st member Brad Kramer):

Of course, the obligatory superhero costume group shot pic:



And here are a few sketches I scanned in before the show --







Big thanks to everyone that came out to MicroCon! And thank you for not giving me swine flu.


Next convention stop for me is the massively HUUUUGE San Diego Comic-Con in July. Kinda strange to go from the smallest show of the year to the biggest. :) But, yeah, lookin' forward to that. Obviously I'll be posting much more regarding SDCC in the months to come.


I'm gonna be packing and moving over the next few weeks, so it may be a little quiet here on my site. But don't worry - once I'm settled into my new place, I'm sure it won't take me long to get back into the art groove. And hopefully I'll have a few new projects to announce soon too. Aah'll be bock.

Wow that's sweet- my wife, daughter and I went to our first Convention in Calgary over the weekend, and it was so much fun that we started talking about flying to San Diego, though it looks like only Thursday and Sunday tickets are available.

Glad it went well. Sorry I didn't make it out. I wanted to go, but I didn't want swine flu either. And I especially didn't want to pick up anything I could pass to the baby.

That looks like some good attendance. Looks like everyone was having fun and you gotta love those costumes. Can't wait to pick up some of those prints this year.

Did you sell quite a few of the prints? Are you planning on having any others to sell at any of the other cons this year?

Good luck with the move and hope everything goes well!

Love the sketches as always. Can't get enough Darth Talon. Need her in a hotness body shot like the catwoman one.

That Darth Talon is pretty damn cool.

Thanks for the sketch of Yoda this weekend man
