San Diego Comic Con 2011- Wrap Up
The San Diego Convention Center from our hotel’s front door.
Our last day started slow and showed all the signs of a general mood of winding down… until after lunchtime. The crowds and sales suddenly came to life and we ended up with our best day to date. So it was a great way to wrap things up for our second year in San Diego. The only regret from the experience was a lack of time to spend out in the exhibit hall visiting other booths and vendors. I took a bit of time during the morning lull to document a few of our neighbor’s booths. Be sure and visit their sites for more fun and wonderfulness.
San Diego Comic Con 2011- Day 3
Today’s sales were a record for a single day’s effort for us. Thus we were both very focused on staying close to the booth. What follows are some additional shots around the convention floor before the doors opened, a couple of booth shots of talented folks (and new friends) and more costume fun.

Premiering at the show will be a back to back, hand bound, limited edition Superlative Heroes and Nefarious Villains hardback book. This uniquely bound book of Victorian superheroes and super villains will include extra characters not available in the card sets plus 12 episodes of action and enlightenment sure to please. All this and a whole lot more!

March MODOK Madness
It’s time again for that wonderful annual event: March MODOK Madness, a curated blog of MODOK inspired artwork. A big thanks to mastermind Brendan Tobin for including my version from the Order of Nefarious Villains, SCORN.
Michael Cho
I can’t get enough of Michael Cho’s great line work, compositions and limited color choices. This portrait is timely, with the Captain America: The First Avenger movie in production.
Steve Ditko
Steve Ditko’s amazing comic book work was and continues to be a great source of inspiration to me. In 1962 Ditko and writer-editor Stan Lee created Spider-Man in Amazing Fantasy #15. Despite the scores of artists that followed and movie adaptations, I’ll forever equate the way Spider-Man and the host of characters related to him should look from Steve’s vision.
