San Diego Comicon-2013!

Here are the photos from the adventure in San Diego!

This is Daniela, one of the Yets' biggest fans! 
She helps watch my booth on Sunday!

Cap'n Crunch was on guard too!

The crowds were BIG!

Adventure Time was all the time while setting up.

Lego sculptures are always cool!

I snuck pictures of the Chuck Jones Gallery.

This is a sketch Chuck did on the door in the gallery, 

it is about five feet high.

 If you like animation art, check out this gallery.

I explored San Diego with Suze, Ilse, and Janna(the photographer)!

 Major exploring in the La Jolla cave!

...and next year I am moving out of the small press

and into the illustrators area.
I will be in a booth with "Odd Fae designs"

 This is a sketch drawn with ball-point pen on the plane to San Diego,

in my 5.5"x8.5" sketchbook.

Always flyin' Yet First Class!

Kids Read Comics convention!

In Ann Arbor there is a great convention that promotes children's literacy and it is sponsored by the Ann Arbor library.  It is called, Kids Read Comics.

Here are some photos of the, drawing-meet-greet on the first night:

Here was my table in the upper left of the photo:

I was sketching this with my trusty ball point pen.

I've been busy teaching here since then and,

then I'll be off to San Diego Comicon!

I'll post more in a couple weeks!

Origins Gaming Convention 2013

So here's a few photos from
Origins Game Fair in Columbus Ohio...

 Dinner with many famous artists like,

Andy Hopp, Larry Elmore, Lance Miller, Kay Steele, and Scott Frank

 

 The table set up in the exhibition hall where

sales increased 150% .

 Got to see friends on leave from Korea!

 

Even did some sketching on Friday during the slow time.

Even Perry the Adventuring Guinea Pig made a new friend!
She had a pet rat on her hat.

Marks for books

I am going to be away at Origins Gaming Convention in Columbus Ohio.
I'll have some new things and teaching some cartooning!
Here is a link to my teaching site,  Teaching Toons!
Before I left the school 

I made some bookmarks for the first and second grades.

They will be for sale at the conventions too.

What I did before my summer vacation.

I apologize for not posting, I've been using the Yets and cartooning in Harding Elementary School.

We've had a lot of success raising test scores and having fun!  You can track the progress at my Teaching Toons web site.  Now that the school year is almost over,

 I'll be posting more! 

Meanwhile here is our class and some up & coming artists...

 

I'm somewhere in there...

I wish it was easier to read the dialogue.

 Great colors!

 The "Yet" on the left is standing beneath 

a rain of....blood?  

That is what the student said.

 A purple pigtailed Yet.

The left Yet has a rattle, and the right Yet is saying...?

What is it saying?....

I'm just going to leave this here...

Folks have been asking for portraits of me

for publicity, so here it is...

Another Commission...framed

This is the framed piece for our Philharmonic. 

 I used a drum head with carriage bolts to hold it together.
