I had a great time on Saturday, but was completely bummed to not bump into Nick Abadzis. I had foregone the Big Planet signing on Thursday when I found he'd be at SPX, but his signing apparently didn't start until 4, and real life took precedence. I had some GREAT Marvel UK titles for him to sign that would have undoubtedly elicited a chuckle from him. Ah well...If I get to posting my SPX sketches any time soon, I'll follow this post up with links...
ReplyDeleteI went to the Wagner signing and figured I'd catch Abadzis at SPX. Didn't happen. Bah.
ReplyDeleteI believe that's Rene Taiglemeir, and not Jeff Smith, signing the Baby Sitters' Club graphic novel.
ReplyDeleteNice pics, by the way!
Tyra, you are absolutely correct (it's Raina though). Thank you! I've got to stop doing these things late at night. There are pics of Jeff Smith and Claire - they're linked in the Bruce Guthrie photos post.
ReplyDeleteFirst 4 sketches:
ReplyDeleteAnything Marvel Book 2 :: Franklin Richards by Gilbert Hernandez
Anything Marvel Book 2 :: The Thing by Otis Frampton
Least Expected :: Vampirella by Ryan Dunlavey
And quite possibly my favorite sketch to date...
Anything Marvel Book 2 :: Googam, Son of Goom! by Roger Langridge
Very cool, Randy. I think you deserve a post all to yourself - ok?
ReplyDeleteI bought 3 pages from Langridge. Bad photos to follow at some point.
Let me get the rest of these sketches posted (I'm sneaking in a couple a day at this point and there's a few more yet to go). Here are more:
ReplyDeleteAnything Marvel Book 2 :: Wolverine by Jeffrey Brown
Anything Marvel Book 2 :: Wolverine by Jamie Tanner
And finally...
ReplyDeleteAnything Marvel Book 2 :: The Hulk by Fred Chao
Anything Marvel Book 2 :: The Hulk by James Kochalka
Anything Marvel Book 2 :: Spider-Man by Dean Trippe
Anything Marvel Book 2 :: Red Skull by Rob G
Anything Marvel Book 2 :: Tigra by Tim Fish
Anything Marvel Book 2 :: The Hulk by Kim Deitch
I noticed last night that some of these scans are pretty dim (you can barely see the colored pencils in Kim Deitch's sketch) or cutting off some of the sketches, so I might get around to re-doing them, but you can at least see the what they basically are now...enjoy!
