DETROIT FANFARE and ANNA POCALYPSE plans!

Hey Everyone! Thanks for coming! Tons to talk about today!

I'm gearing up fast for the upcoming DETROIT FANFARE comic and entertainment show that is happening HALLOWEEN weekend, Oct 30-31st in Dearborn, MI. Details HERE

I will be there all weekend with a ton of my artistic brothers and sisters too many to name in one sitting here. (INCLUDING STAN LEE!) Also coming is Brian O'Hallaran, known as DANTE from Clerks, who will be grand marshalling a "Zombie Walk" on Saturday to the show! One guy who deserves special note is BRETT PINSON, writer and creator of THE EXPENDABLES comic, which I do the art for. We'll have #1-3 there at the show. For my part, I am coming loaded with tons of new stuff! Of course, the matted prints you know me for with some new ones added! Also these beauties:



Yes, 11x17 prints including SLAVE LEIA, SUPERFRIENDS FAMILY GUY and HORROR ICON LAST SUPPER! Sure to sell out at the show cause they are very popular pieces of mine on deviantart so come score one quick! All my prints are $15 each or 2/$20. Mix and match. In addition to the new prints, I have these:



Smaller CARD versions of the prints. Price on these: $4.00 each or 3/$10. Best deal in the house.

On Saturday, there is a shots for sketches thing where you buy an artist a shot and get them to draw on a special sketchcard for you! I hope to take part in that. Also there is a late night devil's night bash featuring local horrorhost Wolfman Mac! It is a ticketed event and will sell out! So bring your costume and your best drinking face. Sure to be a "howling" good time! Lastly, on Sunday there are a ton of specials going on, but for my part, I am doing a special for the kids: FREE SKETCH CARDS to any kid in costume that comes by my table and asks. I will draw any one character sketch for them on a nice trading card for them, so come on by and ask! The show is also having tons of exclusive comics and prints all around so be sure to go to their website to get more info. Tickets for STAN LEE's autograph signing are selling out, so please buy yours ahead now through their site: HERE

I will be taking commissions at the show. But spots and time will fill up fast. If you want to pre-order and pre-pay for your commission and pick it up at the show, visit my online store and click on which commission you want. 8x11 one to three characters inked is $20, 11x17 with up to 5 characters inked is $40. Pay now via paypal and pick it up at the show! (and I am known to toss freebies out to people who prepay for a commission like this! Go ahead and order one this way by going to my ONLINE STORE

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: I will be having a guest at the show. For the first time ever, I am bringing a STAR from my comic, PLEASANT LIFE. None other than OFFICER TED GROSS in the flesh! So come get your pic with him and have him sign your Pleasant Life books and ask him what its like to be the best comic book character in all creation!

I'm looking forward to the show very much! It will be my last appearance for the year most likely. So come on out and show your support for the local art scene and stop by my table to say hi! Best Halloween weekend ever is coming soon!

In other news, it is revealed:



This is the official cover to the ANNA POCALYPSE tradebook. Official release date for now is Christmas 2010. I am super busy with commissions and what not to get it completed but it is on my priority list. Just coloring and some lettering to go. Then off to the printer. In November I will do a pre-order for the book. Likely, there will be an "artist edition" which will include a free Anna sketch in the interior cover. Book will retail at $20, with Free Shipping in the USA. I will likely offer discount deals to people who have bought the first stand alone issue and can prove it.

Okay folks. Thats all I got for now. Make plans to go to the Detroit Fanfare! Its gonna be a bloodbath of a great time!
