The BAD...
Well...not in any way offending the convention... Wizard World Chicago turned out to be a kick in the ass for me ego-wise. I could not even GIVE my prints away for free! That goes the same for my Shrek comics. It was truly an eye opener and a lesson learned. What to do, what not to do as well as what I lacked. This was my first time ever having a table so it was pretty interesting, now I can say I finally tried it out.
The GOOD...
BUT, the weekend was still a HUGE BLAST due to the support of my bestest of buddies. My brother-in-law Jim sat with me and manned the table when I was gone. My buddies Joel
, Jay , and Jason all showed up for support. Joel surprised me with a custom Mighty Mugg of ME! (I will post pics soon) It proudly sat at my table. Other good friends of mine I got to chat with were Matt Bellisle , Dan Mead , Kiley Beecher . Check out their fantastic work here on Deviant.
What saved my butt at the con was that I did manage to do a few commisions for some super awesome people including. I will be posting some of those soon as well.
One of the BEST parts of the con was meeting up with longtime DA friends and idols like Jay Fosgitt, Mike Henry , Enrique Rivera , Nick Volkert and Jon Kulczar . Your artwork always inspires and it was so cool to meet you guys in person and thanks for the inspiration and encouraging words! You guys are the greatest.
Thanks again for an incredible weekend!

Masters of Anatomy
I'm excited to share news about this cool new Kickstarter book called Masters of Anatomy. It will feature over 60 artists wither their own renditions of the human form. I will be part of this book! I'm very honored to be involved and also very intimidated by the list of artists involved. Masters of Anatomy
Goodbye Wilson
Just heard the terrible news that Wilson Williams Jr. passed away.~WilsonWJr (https://www.deviantart.com/wilsonwjr) I'm absolutely shocked.
What a tremendous talent he was, and what a kind hearted person. He and I corresponded quite often when I first joined Deviant. He was always one of those guys I looked forward to hearing from. Over the past couple years we hadn't really talked and just in the past two weeks or so we briefly reconnected over Facebook. The world is going to be a less colorful place without him. I pray that his beautiful work lives on to amaze, inspire, and entertain all who view it.
Happy Halloween!
I wish everyone here on DA, a very fun and safe Halloween!

well THERE'S your problem. You did a Wizard Con. You're way too good for those.
Seriously, don't bother. They're passe.
I highly recommend Emerald City convention in Seattle and C2E2 in Chicago.
Heroescon in Charlotte is loved by artists and is great for meeting them, but the attendees weren't that spendy in my opinion.
Comicon is a complete zoo and it's very hard to get a table (James and I had to really muscle and hustle to get ours), but the exposure is unmatched.
We'll be at our first NYCC artist alley in Oct. NYCC is organised by Reedpop, who also do C2E2, so we're optimistic it'll be a good con.
I've also heard good things about Megacon in Orlando and Baltimore Comicon.
