                <description><![CDATA[ This past Friday I was able to do something that I've never done before.  I had a sketch booth at my school's fall festival.  Oh man, I had a blast.  The sketches were done in pencil and inked or colored with sharpies or markers on 5x7 card stock.  I had about 15 made up before the festival to display at my booth so people could see what they would be getting.  I did mostly supers, but also had a few mascots, princesses, and toons as well.  I even did a Barney Fife!  I started at 5 and didn't stop sketchin' until about 9:30.  When the eraser dust had cleared, I had sold over 30 of my sketches.  I was super excited that I was able to raise over $100(sketches were $3) for our school!  Lookin' forward to the next time!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's been a couple of weeks since THE summer event known as Heroes Con took place, and I must say, it lived up to all my expectations!  Again this year I was accompanied by my beautiful wife to Charlotte, NC for the event.  We had such a great time meeting artist, seeing old friends, and checkin' out cool swag.  This year I was able to do a couple of things I'd never done at Heroes before.  First, we attended the art auction on Saturday.  It was truly an incredible event.  Watching all this art go for big bucks was awesome.  Secondly, I tried my hand(although it was a little shaky-nerves an all) at the quick draw contest.  I had a blast doing it, even though I didn't place in the top three.  Oh well, there's always next year!<img src="http://e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" />  After all the sketches, dollar bins, and fun, it was time to pack it in and head for home(too soon).  Thanks to all those who had a part in making my Heros 09 a great time.  Hope to see you next year(can't come soon enough)!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ WoW!  What a day!  I hope that everyone was able to get out to a comic shop somewhere and enjoy some of the sweetness that is FCBD!<br /><br />  This year my wife and bro got up with me at the crack of dawn to head down to Charlotte, NC to enjoy FCBD at Heroes Aren't Hard To Find.  After making my wife(aka Quilting Queen) happy by taking her to a huge fabric store for 2 hours of selecting the fabrics to make her next classic quilts, we were off for the main event!<br /><br />We arrived at Heroes at 11:30 and began wading through the crowd to pick up copies of the free comics that had been placed throughout the store.  Soon after, the artist showed up and began sketching for the crowd that had gathered.  Oh, did I mention the artist that showed up were Adam Hughes, Brian Stelfreeze, Mark Brooks, Andy Smith, Allison Sohn, Budd Root, Sanford Greene, Matt Herms, Jason Latour, Chris Schweizer, Chris Brunner, and more!  Oh yeah-I know what you're thinking, but it's for real though!  Anyway, I was pretty fortunate to walk away with a few sketches and alot of great memories!  One of the highlights of the day was watching my bro go wacko from watching Brian Stelfreeze do an incredible water colored Ra's Al Ghul for the girl in front of him.  He kept saying, "Branson, you got see this, you gotta see it!"  Man, what a great day.  It was almost like a prequel to Heroes Con in June.  Let it begin! Let it begin!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just wanted to give an update on DA because it's been so long since I've posted anything-brain surgery will do that to you. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" />  Surgery went great!  The Surgeon was able to get almost all of the tumor off of my optic nerve.  I'm finished with half of my radiation and things are going fine.  Just stay tired and have a little discomfort now then.  I just want to thank all who kept me in their prayers and thoughts.  Lord willing, I'll be back to normal...err, my old self before you know it. Have a great week!<br /><br />By the way, pick yourself up some JSA.  Johns is the man-bring'n back the Marvels! Yeah Baby!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ It's Christmas time!  For the past two years, I have drawn sketches for my sixth graders as Christmas gifts.  I'm no Michaelangelo(or any of the other TMNT for that matter), but the kids seem to really love this more than anything else I've done for them at Christmas.  It also gives me a chance to draw something different that I haven't tried before.  I have been asked to draw everything from super-powered frogs to John Deere tractors.  So...I thought I would share some of them with you guys here on DA.  Hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed drawing them!<br /><br />On a darker note, this past Tuesday I found out that a brain tumor that I had removed back in February of '06 has started to grow back.  It looks like I'll have another surgery in January to have the tumor removed.  The doctor said that this time I will also be having some radiation treatments following the surgery.  I wouldn't even mention it, but I do covet your prayers for me and my family.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I decided it was time for me to get better at this sketchin' stuff so I devised a plan to help.  I realize I'll never be the likes of the many talented artist here on DA, but I'd like to be somewhat in the same city as the ballpark they play in.  So...I came up with the Bucket O' Characters.  <br />I found that I spend most of my time doodlin' or sketchin' with no purpose.  I figured that I draw much better when I have a definate idea to work with(I know-rocket science right?).  Enter the Bucket.  I wrote down as many characters as I could think of, cut them up into little strips, and put them into the Bucket.  Before sketchin' begins, I pull one and Shazam!-instant idea.  With this new technology, I'll hit 3000 page views in no time!  <br />Now if I can only fix DC's Final Crisis.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ WoW! Heroescon was unbelievable this year-we had such a blast! On Friday, the day started with madness as I ran from table to table trying to lock up the sketch commissions I wanted. I just missed the cut off for a few that I wanted, but was able to score a sweet Batgirl from Phil Noto! I picked up a commission by Jonboy Meyers of an amazing Shazam! Inker Marc Deering was kind enough to do an incredible job inking it for me. Continuing with the Shazam! theme, I got sketches from Billy Fowler and Sunny Lee that were really cool. I also met Andie Tong, a super nice guy from England(but really all over the place) who worked on the UK version of Spidey. He had some fantastic sketches and pages that he was selling. Saturday was a little more easy going. Jeremy Dale hooked me up with a sweet Red Tornado, and Nate Lovett did a great Panthro for me. We also met Loston Wallace who did an awesome Superfriends reading book we got for our daughter(she loves it!). Of course we did take a short break to go to a monster fabric store for my wife, the Quiltinator(she is really an amazing quilter). On Sunday, we took it very easy. I picked up a few sketches that were being finished and took a break for pizza! Another super nice guy we met Sunday was Kevin Sharpe. He had some good stuff goin' on with his tight sketches! Overall, it was a Heroes to remember. It had cool comics, awesome artist, and spectacular supers! I mean where else can you get your picture taken with men in tight stretchy pants? Don't answer that! Thanks to all who made Heroescon '08 a great time!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Are you going Heroescon?  It's just 2 weeks away and I can hardly wait to get to Charlotte for this year's show.   I have been to many a Heroescon, but this will be the second year my wife will accompany me to the convention(I know, I got a keeper!).  It used to be the back issues and dollar bins that brought me to Heroes, but now it's the opportunity to meet the artist and writers behind those collected treasures.  Anyway, this year is sure to be one of the best cons ever!  I'm sure there will be dealers who can fill my must have back issue list, and the lineup of special guest and artist in Artist Alley is incredible!  Hopefully, I'll come home with the first appearance of Red Tornado(Justice League of America #64 I believe) and that sweet sketch from one of the many great artist that will be at Heroes.  Maybe it'll be dollar bin deals and a cool commission of Shazam!? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />   You just can't go wrong at Heroescon.  Hope to see you there!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ With the arrival of the comic book convention season, I find myself faced with a serious problem.  No, not the small fortune I'll spend on gas to get to Heroescon, but rather with what sketch I'll go home with after the doors close Sunday.  With so many cool sketches and so little fundage, I need your help to figure out what my sketch list should be at Heroes.  Do I go with the Dark Knight and the Big Blue Boyscout or Booster Gold and Blue Beetle?  Spidey vs. Doc Ock or Apache Chief vs.  Black Manta?  A-list heroes or B-list bystanders?  Individuals, team-ups, or groups?  You can see where I could use some guidance.  So let me know what you thinK!  Heroes is coming and I want to have my gameplan when those doors open!<br /><br /> ]]></description>
