83. GETTING PIN-UPS AT MEGA-CON 2006
May 17th 2007

(excerpt)

I decided to just poke up to George Perez, Sal Buscema, and Dick Giordano, all of whom had long lines. George Perez was signing tons of books. One guy brought like ten or twenty copies each of maybe five items. We’re talking fifty or a hundred signatures. And since it was a bunch of copies of the same items, it was obvious they weren’t for his personal collection. He even said they were all for ebay. I think if I were famous, and someone brought a stack like that to me, I would just tell them, look, you’re asking me for a free signature, and you’re gonna make out on all that. I’ll sign one of each of those, but you’re just taking advantage.

When I asked him about a pin-up, George said he was under exclusive contract. He was making a ton of great-looking convention sketches. Next up, Sal said to talk to his manager, which I did, and managed to get set up for a pin-up commission. Both Sal and his manager were very sweet, and very supportive of the fact I’m self-publishing.

Just got this back in the mail. I had this done at heroes con 06. Ed Mcguiness did Iron-Man on the jam and of course Art Adams did the Amazing Spider-Man. Both of them look even better in person. The image is kinda crappy since my scanner broke and I had to use my digital camera. I'll try to get a better scan in the future. Now all that is left is Luke Cage. Much Thanks to Ed, Art, John F, Rich D, and Paul Singh.

MEGACON DAY 1

(excerpt)

We made our way past George Perez’s line, which was reasonable at the time and then turned into a pretty spectacular line later on. We found our spot in the middle of the room surrounded by our good friends Adam Hughes and Phil Noto. Across from us was Billy Tucci making noise and playing with the fans in his own special way. Anyway, I throw down my original art pile and turn around spend a few minutes yelling at Phil for selling three huge painted pieces for way too little money and then gave Adam Hughes some drawing tips on how to illustrate woman’s breasts. Not. Across from us was Captain America artist Mike Perkins who was selling his art for too cheap as well…another guy just giving it away. Thank God I am there to point it out. (laughs)

This is a list of the comics conventions I will be attending in 2006. Some are "rain-check" appearances for shows that I had to cancel in 2005 due to health reasons. In some cases this puts me in a position of attending some conventions on back-to-back weekends, but it couldn't be helped. I hope to be able to get together with a lot of my fans next year and will be warming up my autograph hand.

February 24th - 26th: MegaCon, Orlando, FL
April 21st - 23rd: Pittsburgh Comicon, Monroeville, PA
April 28th - 30th: Paradise Toronto Comicon, Toronto, Canada
May 19th - 21st: Motor City Con, Novi, Michigan
June 30th - July 2nd: Heroes Con, Charlotte, NC
July 20th - 23rd: Comicon International, San Diego, CA
September 1st- 4th: Dragon Con, Atlanta, GA
September 9th - 10th: Baltimore Comic Con, Baltimore, MD

I will also be attending the October Portland, OR show for Second Genesis (another rain-check from 2005) but I still have no confirmed date.

That should keep me busy for the year in between issues of THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD.
