cleo and the blog break

March 18, 2008 in art, cleopatra in spaaace! by mike | 15 comments

just for fun. :)

seems like every time i get a chance to escape my regular drawing responsibilities, i only want to to draw cleopatra in space. which isn’t very often these days. so even though i’m doing my best to work on a little comic of her (yes- i am!), the process has been slow. today, instead of doing a little more work on another page, i decided to just relax and do something a little less uh… thought inducing- which drawing comics can sometimes be.

that said, i’ll be taking a little blog break for the next few weeks or so since there are some projects i really need to concentrate on. they are fun projects, so i’m looking forward to them, but they are likely going to suck up almost all of my extra drawing time. i should be back sometime in april. maybe sooner if i decide to irresponsibly break away from drawing comics again. :)

megacon 2008 report!

March 13, 2008 in photos by mike | 6 comments

megacon was a blast- mostly because i just have fun seeing and hanging out with all of my fellow floridian artists and seeing all the awesome costumes. once again i didn’t take any pictures. partly because i was behind my table most of the time but mostly because i don’t own my own camera. luckly jen was there with me the whole time with her camera! so here is a hodgepodge of jen’s megacon photos with commentary by yours truly.

swinging in the rain

for drawergeeks‘ tarzan week:

up until today, it’s been raining and pouring and old men snoring here in “sunny” tampa, fl. you’d think it would make me want to go back on vacation, but i actually find rain to be pretty relaxing. except when i’m driving in it and there are calls about tornado warnings.

amidst all the stormy weather, my sister had her third child two days ago and surprised us all with a boy. i finally have a nephew! yeah! as is with tradition, i did a quick sketch of the little newborn:

the kid is a dead ringer for bruce lee. even loved posing for my sketchbook.

and to make this a triple post (because lord knows when i’ll have a chance to post again) i’ll once again be attending the orlando megacon this weekend, march 7-9th.

i’ll be in the white section, table 7 with books, buttons, stickers, window clings, postcards, prints and who knows what else. if you have trouble finding me, just walk around artist alley until you see the life sized stand-ups of cow and buffalo and a haggard little artist tirelessly sketching in-between them. hope to see some of you there!
