Ok, so much for keeping that schedule. It seems like I owe you guys about 4 blogs now, but fortunately for you I have a bunch of stuff to unload, so let's skip the small talk and get right into it.
First off, I have some extra photos from Chicago.

Next up, pics from Pittsburgh, one of the best shows out there. It has this amazing family feel to it.
One of the cool things at Pittsburgh is that they always have this amazing pre-show party in the Penthouse of one of the sponsored hotels. You get to hang out with other artists to draw, drink and draw some more. They provide you with these little tiles and all the sharpies you can sniff. The tiles are then auctioned off at the show the next day, and all the proceeds go to a worthy cause. I believe it's the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, but don't quote me on that.Unfortunately I didn't do one this year, but I'll be ready next year.

So there you have it, one nice big drop of everything so far. Next up, I'll be traveling out to Jersey for Free Comic Book Day this Saturday May 5th, at the Voorhees Town Center. I'll be there with a bunch of cool artists exhibiting, sketching, and enjoying the fanboy's version of Christmas.
Catch you later this week where I try to be ontime for my next blog.
Peace
