Pop Swap!

I'm going to be at the annual Heroes' Pop Swap tomorrow from 10:00 am - 4:00pm selling sketchbooks, original art, prints and possibly even doing some sketches! I'll also have an absolute ton of trade paperbacks & hardcovers, cds, dvds and other assorted "pop" paraphenalia on sale for CHEAP!!!

A few of the Big Dog crew will be there doing their thing too: Henry Eudy, Stan Ford, Herc Petmezas and possibly Terence Hoskins too! (they'll have mini comics, original art, prints and other assorted goodies too!)It's a regular reunion! You can get just about all of us to sign the 2012 sketchbook! ;)

Last year was an absolute blast and this year should only get better...hope to see you out there!

Each week I'll be posting new #deskdoodles to instagram, twitter and tumblr with the hashtag: #deskdoodle If you'd like to join in, just gmail me (BigDogsStudio) your deskdoodle and I'll get them loaded!

Charlotte Comicon sketches.

I did a couple of sketches today at Charlotte Comicon in between selling stuff. Thanks to Herc, Jonathan, Brandon, and Henry for a fun day.

Charlotte Comicon - Sunday, Dec. 18th 10am - 4pm

Looking for something to do this weekend? Still have shopping to do before the holidays? Well look no further! The Charlotte Comicon will be held this Sunday at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Charlotte from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. There will be great deals on comics, books, art, toys, movies, sci-fi & fantasy memorabilia and much more! And if that's not enough, a ton of local artists will be on hand selling their books and art!

Swing by and say hello, I'll be set up with Henry Eudy selling our 11 x 17 Darkwing Duck print (see attached pic) and sketchbooks. Henry will have a selection of his mini comics and I'll have all of the Big Dog's Studio sketchbooks and the Sketch Charlotte Anthology. We'll both have original art for sell and will be sketching at the show.

Along for the ride we'll be sitting next to fellow Sketch Charlotteans Herc Petmezas, Stan Ford and Jonathan Rosenbaum! They'll al have something special for sale along with original art, comics and trading cards!

Sketchbook for my Son...

I've decided to start a sketchbook for my 16 month old son. I know it's a tad early, but I had this small 5 x 7 sketchbook laying around, so why not!?

We had "sketchbook night" at Sketch Charlotte last night so I took it and got a few new sweet pieces to go along with the two awesome pieces I got last week.

I'm asking for cute animals or superheroes, so if you're an artist and I know you...I WANT YOU IN THIS BOOK! :)

Here's what I have so far...

Krypto the Super Dog by Stan Ford




















Stinky/Angry/Cute Hulk by Rico Renzi





















Honey Bear by Herc Petmezas





















Cute Armadillo by Henry Eudy

Planetary themed sketchbook

I finally broke down and started a themed sketchbook. Couldn't think of too many things I'd rather have than sketches from my favorite comic book: Warren Ellis and John Cassaday's Planetary! Here are the first three entries so far, all from Sketch Charlotte members! What a way to start a sketchbook! Another perk of having such a great group of artists on the roster! :)

In order:
