hey ...waddup y'alls, how's it goin'?

I was at a Seattle show (Emerald Con) some weeks ago, and I really wanted to thank Jim Demonakos and his crew for making it all a damn cool experience, so: "Thanks Jim AND crew" (^_^)

... I would have had a much much better time if I hadn't been sick as a dog the whole friggin' weekend! :( BUT regardless of the damn 'cold bug', the convention was pretty laid back and quite enjoyable (although I didn't see any of my 'Grunge' heroes walking on the streets for MY benefit! That's the way it's supposed to happen right? :) )

....anyway, I did quite a few sketches and commissions while I was there, and this one here was for Chris Burnham, (a pretty cool dude from Demonakos' crew). This was the very first sketch on his sketchbook, and as flattered as I was, it also SUCKS going first!!! :) .... why you ask? well, for the same reasons nobody ever wants to go 'first' on shows like "Fear Factor". You are setting a kind of 'standard' (for better of worse) for the artists to come after you (unless you are a mega-talented bastard like Adam Hughes, who can give you an amazing sketch with both hands tied behind his back and drawing with his left foot!!! (^_^)) ... so that 'first page' on a sketchbook is usually intimidating.

... anyway, I'd been meaning to ask you all a favor, I've been wanting to start 'collecting' scans of pieces I've done in the past two or three years at conventions. Some of those I was pretty happy with and I'd love to have a copy of the image, but since they were done at a convention or at a signing, I have no copy or scans for most of these, so if I've drawn up something for you lately, could you pretty please be a kind soul and send me a scan or contact me though www.ComicArtFans.com?

Thanks y'alls,

Carlitos.
