Comic-con 2010 pt.1

So this was the first time I had done all 4 days of the convention.  I had fun, worked the booth half of each day, and discovered that my comics have a devoted following. I’d have to say my biggest moment was when I meet a guy who had Doug’s necklace of Mitch’s mummified finger replicated as a prop and was wearing it at the convention.

Thanks, Zach! Coolest thing ever.
More comicon reportage to follow…

COMIC-CON!

new shirts are on the way...

I have an order in that will arrive in time for comic-con next week, my 6th t-shirt design. This one has Feral on it, and for the first time… the Ghost Skater!
Check it out, droogies!

my in on my man

This is a picture Daniel took of himself to show a friend the tattoos I have done on him. The bands are the oldest, the victorian work in between the bands were next. He had a C’thulhu idol tattooed on his calf after that, and last summer we did the lion’s head on his chest. What is next?

He is a pretty good photographer, check out his tumblr blog and see for yourself!

cover art for Hard to Swallow comics vol.2 #1

So i am still hoping to get this thing done for sdcomicon next month. Just finished the front cover art… it took a while to come up with an idea I liked. I am working on the logo and the final interior pages now.

I am also considering advertisers to help with printing costs. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone want to donate or sponsor a page? Buy original page artwork from the book?

Tattoo SCAM

so occasionally I get an e-mail like this:
“Greetings,
This is Brad Scott. I want to book for tattoo drawings in your studio for group of 10, we are spending our vacation in your country for three weeks in the month of Sept 2010 and in line with our plans we need to draw tattoo in your studio.
We need two tattoos each on the chest and back for images like scorpion, flower, house or any beautiful image that can be good in tattoos as your suggestions will be appreciated.
Kindly confirm the best dates for you in the month of Sept 2010 and how many days it will take you to finish the tattooing for the group of 10 persons booking and also confirm if your firm will be able to handle this.
Awaits your email,
Regards,
Brad Scott”
I researched the e-mail address and the top result is a page titled
“Known Scammer Names used in Art Scams“.
It’s pretty amazing the lengths people go to, and still ask for something dumb that gives it away like “house or any beautiful image that can be good in tattoos”.
Or maybe beautiful house tattoos are the next big thing?
