There’s a guy Jeff that has a great collection of sketchbooks FULL of commissions from fantastic artists. Each book has a theme. I’ve added art to the Green Lantern book, The Justice League book, Legion of Superheroes book, DC villains book, and this time at Baltimore I was able to add art to his newest book just for art on LOST. I was a fan of LOST and for the book I drew Walt and Vincent.
This year’s Baltimore Comic Con will have Stan Lee, Jeff Smith, tons of vendors, and something I’m looking forward to… The Kids Comics Pavilion presented by our good friends at ComicBookDiner.com. Myself, My Bro Chris and many other talented creators will be a part of it! Check out the press release below and I hope to see you there!
