Happy Birthday to Everyone!

Whew! Back from San Diego and happy to be home. I love San Diego...the beaches, the weather, the food. And, of course, Comic Con! Lots of news out of con. My buddy Darwyn won THREE Eisner awards. Best Single Issue for BATMAN/ THE SPIRIT #1, Best Graphic Album reprint for ABSOLUTE DC: THE NEW FRONTIER, and Best Publication Design for ABSOLUTE DC: THE NEW FRONTIER. Though we weren't at the awards we drank a toast when we heard the news.

Now it's back to the drawing board. Deadlines loom!

Conventional Wisdom!

This weekend there was a comic book convetion in town! For the first time I charged for sketches which meant I could take my time and do a much better job than ordinarily...not to say that I don't try to do a good job but when you're doing a drawing in ten minutes or less sometimes things get a little wonky...especially by the 30th or 40th drawing.

So here are some of the sketches I did this weekend.
The guy who asked for this Lois Lane drawing didn't show up on Sunday. Steve Zegers, if you're somehow reading this I'll have the drawing with me at TCAF in August...after that it's up for grabs. :)

And now I'm exhausted.
