well, Wizard World Chicago is officially over. :(

I gotta say even though there were some changes this year I had an ABSOLUTE blast! I thought artist alley was a lot nicer. More room, more tables = good. A big, huge, monster-sized thanks to everyone that stopped by my table and saw me, said Hi, and/or bought stuff. I stayed busy all three days! In fact on Sat & Sun I was drawing the whole time! I didn't leave me table ONCE on Sat. And on Sunday I finished up my last commission and had about 45 min. to spare to pick up a few things for myself. Overall a GREAT show!
And i also got to chat with :iconaschell:, :icondykrentsu:, :iconthegreatgod:, :iconsketchartist76:, & :iconmechangel2002:, just to name a few! Really nice people. Give their stuff a look!

I also want to throw out a very BIG, HERARTFELT thanks to all the faves I've gotten over the past week or so. I was so busy getting ready for the con, and then I was at the con, to keep up with all of them and send out individual "thanks". So to all of you who've faved a piece of mine recently just know that you rock and I really appreciate it! :)

Since I was at my table 90% of the time I didn't get to venture out and take too many pics from the show floor but I did manage to take pics of almost all the commissions I did so i'll be posting them soon!

:D

Roses are red, violets are blue, I once thought I was ugly, until I saw you!

What's up dude!? Long time no see. I had no idea you were into punk rock AND drawing or I would have made more of an attempt to get to know you back in the day. Better late than never I guess.

Awesome gallery. I love your style. Your stuff is pretty rad. Makes me want to put down my pencil forever, cause I can't ever be that good!
:icongigatoast:
Hey there Benji! Yeah, better late than never! lol
