Entry 143: Emerald City!

That's right! I'm going to be there. IN PERSON!
I'm not sending a proxy, or an understudy, or some kind of Avatar like body that my mind will inhabit while my body is at home. No. I'm actually going in my own physical form this time, guys. Guys, me in my own flesh with my own blood. You can smell me.

Guys, don't smell me, okay. That's weird. Do try to not be weirdos.

So yeah, come see me. I'll be there drawing away. If you want a commission, email me now. I've already got a list going, but I think I can take on a couple more. dustinpweaver@gmail.com

I'll sign anything you want me to sign, Except for body parts and pets. Seriously, stop bringing your pets to get signed, guys.

I'll have some comics that I'll sell to you, if you want them. Look, I got some books here that I don't want to carry around anymore. I'll give you a great deal.

The piece that I've used above is a quickly colored version of my contribution to the the Hero Initiative's Fantastic Four Sketch Covers.

Here's a look at that sketch cover.

Entry 116: Free Comic Book Day

Hey! So, this Saturday is Free Comic Book Day and as you can see I will be signing at Things From Another World on Sandy Blvd here in Portland.

Check it out. Also signing at that location on free comic book day: My friends and studio mates Ben Dewey, Paul Tobin, Steve Lieber, Paul Guinan, David Hahn, and occasional studio mates Terry and Rachel Dodson.

But it doesn't stop there. Periscope Studio people will be signing all around the Portland area. Ben Bates will be in Beaverton, Ron Chan and my co-creator of They'll Bury You Where You Stand! Jeremy Barlow will be in Milwaukie.

You could run all around town and meet all of them.

So, I had a couple left over commissions to do from this past Emerald City Comic Con that I was finally able to get done.
Check them out-

I've been experimenting lately with creating screen tones in photoshop and printing them into a drawing and I'm really liking the results. I've always been a fan of zipatone and this is a way to accomplish that look in a fairly simple way. 

Anyway, if your in the Portland area this weekend I hope to see you on free comic book day. Maybe I'll draw a sketch for you. It won't look as nice as what you see above, but it will be cool, I promise.
