doodles for none

The last of my convention doodles for nobody, a sort of befuddled Capt. WEIRD. Which, is my favorite Capt. WEIRD. I was so happy to be at APE, but at the same time, I really just wanted to get back to work on WEIRD, so he was all over my sktchbk that weekend. Then, I came home and immediately lost a week due to sickness. Ah, well, wahtchagawndoo?

Ingest as much vitamin C, raw garlic, and jasmine tea as my mucous-y body would contain, that's what.

More sketches for no one!

I'm not sure where this one came from, but I had a hankering to doodle some Gojira at APE. Blame it on my kaiju nature, I guess. Part of being out of it meant I couldn't focus on the pencils, so I just outlined a rough image, and let the ink take over. In fact, everything I managed to draw at APE was like this, barely getting a pencil rough on the page, then just zoning in on the inks. Often, I'd be really into the brushwork, to look up and notice someone looking at my table, or just watching me.

Fun times,

con sketches for nobody, cont.

Since APE is two days long, and a much bigger venue, I had lots more time to sketch. Even though my neighbors were also awesome, I was pretty out of it from all the traveling, drinking(Guitar Wolf!), lack of sleep, and now I suspect, ensuing sickness, so I ended up drawing cause it's all I felt like doing. I barely saw the rest of the show, but there was so much awesome work.

Anyway, in honor of the show, I did an ape sketch, and was going to add a label and date, but forgot. Still, it seemed appropriate. Those who are gifted, or in the know, will recognize some easter egg-y type stuff.

Convention sketches...for no one in particular

In the beginning of October, I went to both Locust Moon Fest and APE in the span of roughly a week. Then, I came home and got sick. Now that I'm not as sick, I'll to upload some of the sketches I did at those conventions. Don't get me wrong, these aren't for anyone, I just don't like staring at people who may or may not look at my comics, so I sketch to keep amuse myself.

Also, even though I immensely enjoy the conventions, talking to people who like comics and art, and other artists and cartoonists is absolutely my idea of fun, I feel a little anxious about losing productivity while I'm traveling and peddling my wares, so sketching alleviates some of that anxiety.

Here's an Estre doodle I pencilled at Locust, but that show was really busy, between talking to attendees, my table neighbors(who were all awesome), and seeing good friends in Philly, I actually didn't have that much time to draw, so I ended up inking her as a warm-up after returning to Chicago.

More to come,
