I will be attending this year's San Diego Comic Con. I'll mostly be wandering the floor, but I do have 2 signings at the IMAGE booth (#2729) with the awesome Mind the Gap team (Jim McCann and Sonia Oback). So stop on by and say "hey."
Thurs - 5:00p-6:00p
Sat - 11:00a-12:00p

I'll also occasionally take a seat at Jim McCann's table in the Artist Alley where I'll be selling just a couple prints as well as original pages. And possible sketching if time permits.
As I don't actually know the table number or when it is I'll be sitting, check my twitter (which I'll totally be better about updating) for that info when the conve ]]> http://cakes.deviantart.com/journal/MIND-THE-GAP-signings-298940918 http://cakes.deviantart.com/journal/MIND-THE-GAP-signings-298940918 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 14:39:53 PDT MIND THE GAP + signings! nonadult journals/personal cakes http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/a/cakes.jpg?1 Copyright 2012-2013 ~cakes

After Elle Peterssen is mysteriously attacked on a Manhattan subway platform, she is left in a coma, the only clues to her attacker trapped inside her mind.

Pretty exciting, as it'll be my first. Actually, I haven't been to NY since I was 9-ish or something.
I'll be joining the MORNING GLORIES team (writer Nick Spencer and artist Joe Eisma) at the Image/Shadowline table, O-2. Here's the Shadowline schedule to see what times we'll be there: http://www.imagecomics.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?t=49952
When I'm not signing at the table, I'll be doing some aimless wandering. Or sketching. So say "hey" at the table and maybe order up a sketch (and we'll work out the logistics then).

First of all, I was wondering why there was this sudden surge of interest in the page I did for 45. And apparently it was because I got my first Daily Deviation! Awesome. So thanks to :iconthiefoworld: and :iconkangel: for that. And thanks to everyone for adding me to your watch lists and for the comments and favorites. Much appreciated.

In Morning Glories-related news: That 2nd printing of issue #1 that was released Sept 1 had its own same-day sellout. http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=28147 And so we're going into a 3rd printing to come out the same day as issue #2, Sept 15 (today!).

So, big thanks again. I hope you're all on-board for issue #2 (out September 15 or thereabouts). Make sure your're watching the interior art team.

Best.

ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THIS PREP SCHOOL?
Nick Spencer Teaches an Advanced Course in Sci-fi Mystery with MORNING GLORIES

In August, Nick Spencer -- the writer behind the critically acclaimed titles EXISTENCE, FORGETLESS and SHUDDERTOWN -- will school readers in sci-fi, mystery, and teen angst with MORNING GLORIES, an all new series published by Image Comics.

Illustrated by phenom Joe Eisma (Existence 3.0) with gorgeous covers by Rodin Esquejo (Fractured Fables), the series launches with a double-sized first issue on August 11, 2010.

"MORNING GLORIES is RUNAWAYS meets LOST," exclaims Spencer ]]> http://cakes.deviantart.com/journal/Welcome-to-Morning-Glory-Academy-226573077 http://cakes.deviantart.com/journal/Welcome-to-Morning-Glory-Academy-226573077 Sat, 17 Apr 2010 21:50:05 PDT Welcome to Morning Glory Academy nonadult journals/personal cakes http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/a/cakes.jpg?1 Copyright 2010-2013 ~cakes Apparently, MORNING GLORIES was announced at the Image Comics panel at C2E2.
There's a lot of talent behind this book, and I couldn't be more excited for the team. Nick Spencer is on writing. Interiors are by the awesome Joe Eisma :iconsupajoe: and Alex Sollazzo (on colors) :iconpostys:. Letters by Johnny Lowe and design by Tim Daniel. And myself on cover duty.
I'm giddily anticipating its release date.

Here's an interview with Nick about the book for CBR:

Unless, y'know, it's for the right price.)

So I'm a little bit, um... poor at the moment. Thank you Comic-Con for taking my money. And so I'm now accepting commissions. Right now I'm only doing simple character shots in pencil, pretty much like all my recent gallery uploads (most notably, the Runaways series http://cakes.deviantart.com/art/runaways-118686957 ) but probably a little more action-y if it's called for. $60 for each character. A little bit more for minimal backgrounds (like $10?). And then a little bit more if you want the original.

My bud, Russ ( http://www.youtube.com/user/ShartimusPrime ), and I braved the 9 hour drive to SD. By the end of the first day, we had been awake for about 36 hours. So we both ended up passing out (me, right at the beginning, and him, a little bit after) at the Green Lantern: First Flight screening, while other people got turned away because the room was at capacity. Awesome. I managed to find one ]]>
