San Diego COMICON 2010

Ryan — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 23:41:45 +0000

I’ll be in my regular spot at Comicon this year at the Image booth. Booth #2729, Just keep an eye out for that Image banner, oh and the HUGE Walking Dead banner, I’ll be right around that. (and if you Twitter than watch for my tweets. I’ll be posting throughout the con.)

I so wish I had enough content to make a new sketchbook this year but with all the work of Invincible and Haunt I really didn’t have much time on the side to do any sketching other than doing pages at our local draw night here for Grizzly Shark. Jason Howard and I will have plenty of Sea Bear and Grizzly Shark available, and it’s much cheaper than a sketchbook. So there.

I’ll be doing sketches as usual, not sure about pricing yet. Details there at the con. Also I’ll be selling tons of prints and original art. Splash page art will also be there selling my art, he has most of the Haunt pages if you are interested in those. I’ll have Invincible and Grizzly Shark pages.

See you guys there!

Wanna see a new print that Jason and I will have at the con?

This will be our cover for the new reprint since Sea Bear and Grizzly Shark just sold out. Thanks to FCO Plascencia for them awesome colors!

Las Vegas signing photos.

Who reads this blog anyway?! I was not expecting to see any Shark costumes at the comic signing but totally surprised some took the challenge. Winners in photos below, your prizes will be sent out soon!

Jason Howard and I had a fun time. The comic store owner Jay is an awesome guy, thanks a TON for having us down! It was honestly the best store signing I’ve done, really great customers too. The employee’s are great as well, thanks to Dann for showing us the city, for hooking us up with Blue man group and Stratosphere ticketes AND doing all the rides a 1000 feet up even though you hate heights. You are a trooper sir. Thanks to Bobby and the rest of the Maximum comics guys(who’s names escape my brain) for making the signing a success. You guys are awesome. I can’t wait to go back!

On with the photos. These are not all the sketches that were done, just the ones I remembered to take and ones I stole off of the Maximum comics website. Sketches are kinda light, we did pencil only since we didn’t want to keep the line waiting ALL day. Anyway thanks again for all that showed up to support the book! Later.

INVINCIBLE 77 cover

Like the cover to 72(Dexter Vines inks!) i got one of my favorite inkers to ink this 77 cover as well. Tim Townsend really adds so much to a drawing it’s crazy. I love how it turned out! And then of course FCO Plascencia adds his amazing colors and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks Tim! Thanks Francisco(fco)!

Venom

My 4 year old son Quentin: “Dad, will you draw Venom for me?”

Me: “Yeah sure!”

Quentin: “But a happy Venom, not a scary Venom.”

Free art!

I’m doing this thing on Splashpage art where I’m choosing tons of pages to give away for free with orders $300 or over. I finally sent Mark a new box of original art, HAUNT issues 1-3. I’m in the process of getting another box ready for him with the rest of HAUNT and a ton of INVINCIBLE pages. I sent him a bunch of covers that are up now.

CHECK IT OUT.

Other news, I’m now on TWITTER!

Newsarama interview with Jason Howard and I, all about Sea Bear and grizzly Shark. Don’t know why the interviewer thought this was a versus book, cuz it aint.

Here’s a drawing so this isn’t a text only post. From INVINCIBLE 72 that came out yesterday. Pencils and inks by me, I inked myself for the first 9 pages.

Yum.

No more VIOLENCE and PIGGYBACKS sketchbooks.

Ryan — Sun, 16 May 2010 20:17:57 +0000

Yep I’m sold out of my sketchbooks. All gone, and I won’t be reprinting those. Thanks to all those who got one! I really appreciate it and I’m compiling new art to hopefully do a new book maybe next year.

But…I hope you grab SEA BEAR and GRIZZLY SHARK in the meantime! Comic Book Resources talked to Jason and I more about the book, check it out HERE!

Here’s a page for you. JUNE 23rd is the day it comes out! Get your copy, let’s help to abolish camping! There’s a Grizzly Shark in dat bush!
