Alternate Signing

Alternate Signing Originally uploaded by Gelatomettista2.

This past Saturday at 3pm, we all did a store signing at Alternate Reality Comics in Las Vegas. Though it's off the strip, it was only a short 20 minute ride there and we were warmly greeted by the owners Ralph and Kate and their incredibly hospitable crew. They had snacks, fruit salad and plenty of water and soda laid out for us and we signed for about 4 hours.

It was very well planned and organized and we barely made it through the line in the time we were there. Not as many sketches this time and oddly, nearly all of them were of Batman. Here is one I did for the man in charge of security at the event.

Geek mode on : it is always amazing to see your sketch , 'cause they are so simple and the more they are simple the more they are efficient !

it's good to see simplicity return to the batman universe. And thank you for not including the latex nips on the costume.

It's amazing how just a few lines in the right place can create such a resoundingly powerful image.
