SDCC 2012

Our books

This year, more than any other year, we'll have our books at our booth inside SDCC. If you like one of our stories and want to try out another one, we'll be there to supply whatever you want. Some are rare to find, others, like the third CASANOVA album, AVARITIA, will debut at the conven.tion.
We'll be at the booth selling and signing the books, and every book we sell will get a sketch inside.

Our schedule

These are our plans inside the convention center, and around San Diego:
thursday, July 12th
2PM- I'll be at TR!CKSTER for the art demo, where I'll draw and ink on the spot, and answer questions about style and storytelling.
8PM- Bá and I will go to the CBLDF welcome party at the Westgate hotel. Stop by to see all the amazing original art they're auctioning this year, and grab a drink while you're at it.
saturday, July 14th
4PM- Bá and I will be signing at the Dark Horse booth (#2615)
sunday, July 15th
12:15-1:45 CBLDF Rock Art Jam- Bá and I, along with Nate Powell, will draw on site rock related images while we talk about the love and influence of music in our work. The audience we'll be able to bid on the drawings to take them home after the panel, the profits will all go to the CBLDF. Room 5AB


Other than that, we'll probaly be at our booth (#1320) most of the time. Come along, stop by and let's have fun at another crazy Comic Con.

And then, something extra

Aside from all the original pages we'll have at our booth, from Umbrella Academy, Casanova, Serenity and BPRD 2012, I'll be bringing these little paintings I've been doing recently. They're small and delicate, and cheaper than the pages, so a wonderful opportunity for those who want a piece of original art from us but can't afford a page.

CBLDF auction at SDCC

Every year, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund auction takes place during SDCC. We have been doing and donating original artwork for the auction for the last three years, and this year we did again.
1-Just like everybody, Bá misses the Umbrella Academy characters and he jumped at the opportunity to draw them again, Dallas style.

2- Warming up for the next arc, I did Sasa Lisi and Zephyr Quinn from our book Casanova. Pa-ZOW!


The nice people from TFAW even take the artwork we, and several other artists, contribute and make sketchcards for us to give out for free and help promote the auction. If you stop at their booth (#5625) you can get their latest batch of sketches (you can see preview images of the drawings from all the artists here, here and here), ours included. We'll have the sketchcards from our drawings at our booth as well (#1320), so stop by.
Both images will be auctioned off July 14th in room Sapphire AB at the Hilton Bayfront, starting at 8:00 p.m., with all proceeds benefiting the First Amendment rights of the comics community!

Serenity original art at SDCC

July is Comic Con month. SDCC happens from July 11th to July 15th and, once again, Bá and I will travel to San Diego to share a booth with some amazing artist friends: Jill Thompson, Becky Cloonan, Andy Belanger and Rafael Albuquerque. Just like in previous years, we'll have our books there for people to discover. I think we'll have our widest variety yet, from all the Casanova trades to Daytripper, Pixu and both Umbrella Academy trades. If you don't have one of our books and you're going to San Diego, this is your chance to get a signed and sketched copy of any of our recent books.

I'll update the blog with all the incredible stuff we'll have at the booth, so I'll start with the my most recent item: Serenity original pages.

I recently did a Serenity story (published as part of this year's FCBD comic from Dark Horse), working on these beloved Joss Whedon characters, and I'll have the pages for sale at the booth. Mal and his crew had their fun, or at least I had my fun with them.

Here are the black and white versions of the pages. Click on them for the bigger versions:

Excited? Check back for the next post to see which other original pages we'll bring to the show.

Once again, our booth number at SDCC is 1320.
