Emerald City Comic-Con 2011 Wrap-Up

A huge thanks to everybody who swung by Seattle this weekend and say to me and Damon as we headed up our first ever individual table over in Artist Alley!!

The weekend was a huge success; met many new fans, met up with old friends, and hung out with some wonderfully talented artists!

Friday Damon and I got interviewed for an awesome podcast called Air Raid, and talked about working in the industry and how we met. Go check out the podcast here!

That evening, we got to go hang out with the ifanboy people and Molly McIsaac and do some live painting with some really great artists. Damon and I got to work on a painting side by side (and with!!!) Camilla D'Errico, Scott C and Jim Mahfood. The paintings were later auctioned off for charity Saturday night.

Painting by me, Damon and Jim Mahfood!

Saturday and Sunday, we got to meet and hang out with other artists at the con. There were a bunch of Girls Drawin Girls ladies around the exhibit hall, including Laurie B, Brittney Lee, Liana Hee, Megan Levens, and Amy Mebberson.

Brittney, Me and Liana; some AMAZINGLY talented ladies!

More awesome artists who I got to run into and who you should TOTALLY check out their works are Echo Chernik, Alberto Ruiz, Drake Brodahl, Dean Trippe, Kevin Dart, and too many more to mention!

Chillin' with Scott C and Jim Mahfood

I have two remaining necklaces for sale, and a few sketchbooks and prints that I'll put be putting up on my Etsy store, so if you missed out, don't worry- there's still a few goodies left!

Here are a few commissions and sketch cards I did for folks!

All in all, a great time was had by all, and Damon and I are already signed up for ECCC 2012! 

Also, a HUGE thanks out to Jim Demonakos of Kirby Krackle for his amazing hospitality and for running an amazing show!!!

Impressions of NYCC

Here are a few drawings from New York Comic-Con this past weekend!

First night in NYC!

Since NYCC was paired with Anime Fest, we saw lots of Anime-type things. Including Harajuku inspired Lolita dogs outside. Yup. You heard me.

On Saturday, Paigey and her friend Fenny dressed up as Vegas showgirls to booth babe it up. It was a day of "PAIGEY'S BOOBS, oh, and girls drawin girls." HA! I'm a straight lady, and even I couldn't take my eyes off that rack! ; D

clockwise: Maria Danalakis, Erica Hesse, Paigey!, Melody Severns and Me

I drew things on Sunday, but I drew them on little art cards, and they sold right away, so I have no proof of them. But I did draw a few things! : D

ALSO, I have to give an awesome shout-out to all the amazing new and old artists I met and discovered this past weekend:

Echo Chernik, an amazingly talented artist from Florida who makes beautiful art nouveau inspired girls
Devin Clark, co-creator of Ugly Americans
Dan Goodsell of Mr Toast (who I already know, but had the pleasure of being next to at the GDG booth!)
Kirby Krackle, of the same music video Damon and I worked on
John Lustig of the hilarious Last Kiss comics
Ben Templesmith of 30 days of night fame
My Plastic Heart, where I'll be part of a group shows, "Ladies Night" in NYC in December
