It made you, it made me..

- Original pencils for part of a chrishaley/Big*Red*Robot collaboration project.

- Someone found my blog by searching for "Boner Man Costume". I kid you not.

I am completely uncertain as to how I should feel about this.

Is this person planning on making a "Boner Man" costume for Halloween? If so, how can I insure that they send me pictures of said costume to post here?

- Two posts ago, I presented my review of Hulk #6, and apparently some people were not aware I employed some Photoshoppery to have the Hulk himself sum up my opinion of the issue.

It was supposed to be.. what do you call it.. funny.

I'll try to be more blatant with my "humor" next time.

the hardcore, the gentle..

You're damn right I met Power Girl.


I also saw the new Mach 5!
I could've jumped in it!
I could've then followed that up with a severe beating from the Con staff.

Self-made winter..

So, Sean.
Where are the updates?


Come on, Sean, don't be that way.
Be the other way.



There are 3 notes on this picture.
Wired has a great article on Penny Arcade.
Go enjoy it as I did.
Did I mention I met Gabe and Tycho in San Diego?
Well, I did.
Tycho was friendly and talkative. We talked about iTunes and their podcasts.
Gabe was busy playing Pokemon on the DS with some kid.
At first I was a little upset about this because it meant I didn't get to talk to him, but in retrospect, it makes me happy. I mean, one that little kid was getting to have fun and two, I don't know what I would have said to him.
Probably something stupid that I'd then wish I hadn't said.

Watch your six..

One of the best things I brought back from San Diego was this great sketch of Superboy by Joel.
I see Joel all the time here at home (we had dinner last night as a matter of fact), but within the confines of the Comic-Con it seemed okay to force him to draw something for me.

I even made a point of taking a fanboy picture with him.

The kind I'd like to meet...

Here's another Guy Smith I got at Comic-Con.
This one is by Scott Kurtz of PVP fame.
As you should be able to tell from the sketch, Scott was well acquainted with the character, which equals to awesomeness.
I had originally asked him to draw Superman because I'd been having such poor luck with people knowing who Guy was. Fortunately, Scott seemed to be having a hard time coming up with something Superman-y, so I thought, "Why not ask if he read X-Statix?"
He lit up at the prospect of drawing The Orphan instead of the Man of Steel.
Lesson learned.

Just when you get on a roll..

Here's one of the great pieces of art I got while I was at Comic-Con.
This is The Orphan/Mr. Sensitive/Guy Smith from X-Force/X-Statix as drawn for me by Ryan Ottley.
He wasn't familiar with the character, but after flipping really quickly through an issue I had with me, Mr. Ottley was able to come up with a pose and expression that was so appropriate for Guy.
Ryan Ottley is an incredible artist.. who has no idea who Deathstroke is.
Well, that's what Scott Kurtz told me.

Comic-Con Cuteness!

Today's photos center around things I saw at Comic-Con that were cute.

Kittens and puppies cute, not cute girl cute.


Super-Buddies!


These people had a whole big booth centered around this and other similar "pea" themes.


You might have to click on this one to really get the idea, but this was equally cute and incredibly creepy.
On the one hand, you've got a little kid all tuckered out at Comic-Con with his big bag and character mask on.
On the other hand, you've got that creepy V face on a tiny body slumped over in a corner.

Comic-Con Continued!

I met George Romero.
He was 20 feet tall.
I'm standing on a series of boxes in this picture.


By now everyone has already heard about this girl, but I mean, I got my picture with her too. She's resting her butt on my shoulder.


Heavy-set Blade looked mean.


Then I met Superman.
Just let me have this one.


I'm a really big fan of your work.


Shin Chan!
