SDCC Exclusive Sketchbook!!!

I've done something this year that I've never done before -- I created a new sketchbook just for the San Diego Comic-Con! 40 pages of new art (most of it never-before-seen by anyone but me), squarebound and magazine sized, and it includes a 1st-ever SNEAK PEEK at my upcoming fantasy project Blade Raiders!

Oh, and if that girl on the cover looks familiar, it's because I based her on a Velma sketch that I drew in Chicago earlier this year. Velma in Fett attire, if you will. ;)

Now, I know a lot of you can't make it to San Diego, so for a VERY LIMITED TIME you, too, will be able to get one of these new sketchbooks. There will be only TWO ways to get this book. Please read the following info carefully:

(1) From now until Monday, June 20th, you can order the book via Paypal.
Send $40 via Paypal (+$5 shipping U.S., +$10 shipping international) to grantgoboom@gmail.com and write "SDCC sketchbook" in the subject line. The $40 includes an inked headshot sketch on the 1st page (if you have a preference, be sure to say which character you want, otherwise I'll just surprise ya). All Paypal-ordered books will be mailed the week before SDCC, so you'll get it in the mail around the same time that the show's going on (July 21-24).

(2) After June 20th, San Diego Comic-Con is the ONLY place this book will be available.
Copies will be for sale at my table in Artist Alley. Make sure you get there ASAP, because the books will sell out, and once they're gone, they're gone forever. If you'd like to order one now via Paypal (see above) and have it reserved for pick-up at SDCC, that's fine -- just pay the amount minus shipping, and let me know that it's for pick-up.

Thanks, everyone!
San Diego's coming up fast... :)

Black Cat SpringCon sketch

One of the headshot sketches I did at last weekend's SpringCon show -- Marvel comics' Black Cat.

Big thanks to everyone who came out to the convention! It was a lot of fun, despite the crazy rainy weather. :) Thanks to the MNCBA guys, too - they always put on a great show.

SpringCon

Just wanted to remind everyone that SpringCon is coming up next weekend, May 21st & 22nd, from 10am to 5pm both days. I'll have a table there and will be selling sketchbooks and 11"x17" art prints and some other goodies. :) So if you're in the Minnesota area, definitely swing by -- it's always a fun show!

Drawing & Coloring Wolverine

I've gotten so many great comments and emails in the last day about my Arwen video (and requests for a coloring video), so I decided to do another one tonight. Just a quickie Wolverine headshot split into two short videos -- they give you a general idea of what my process is like. Enjoy! :)

Draw, Grant, Draw! •Arwen•

It's my first ever drawing video! Thought it was about time to test out my camera, etc. Forgive me for the amateur quality, I'm still getting a feel for this webcam/artcast stuff, learnin' as I go. :)

I've been trying to catch up on things, but there will definitely be more videos in the future -- both in this format, and hopefully at some point I'll also get set up on Ustream or something similar and record some live shows. Anyway, more on that later. Thanks for watching!

Future Ahsoka

Inspired by the glimpse we get of a possible future Ahsoka in the Clone Wars episode 'Overlords.'

May the 4th be with you!
