A GEEK! page being inked

Hello all! Wanted to share an image I took of me inking a page using a lightbox. I do this to keep the line art clean pencil marks. Of course there are times I really want that rough and dirty look...so I'll ink right on top of the pencils. If anyone has questions about my process...feel free to ask by leaving a comment. :)
Catch you all later!

GEEK! updates!

Hey all! Wanted to share with you soem inked pages for GEEK! which are ready to be lettered and colored! Let me know what you think? I'm currently working on penciling as much pages this week...then ink those next week. I do have to say it's very enjoyable to be working on these pages...but they are taking a bit of time in producing them. In time I'll be able to produce these pages faster. I also have another project that I'm working on that has me designing robots...fun robots! :) 
Well, I hope all are doing well! I expect all of you to be producing some great work! So draw, draw, DRAW!!!

CTN...will you be there?


Hello party people! wanted to let you all know I'll be attending CTN this coming weekend...I'll be at table T-102. It will be my first time doing this show by getting a table space...I have attended this show before for the past three years...I really enjoy myself there. Lots of cool folks to meet there.

I will be selling copies of my sketchbook, Japon! There will be prints and original art for sale as well. Plus I will be doing sketches (commissions) as well at the show. Hit me up here if you like to be put on the sketch list. Sketches will be $20. New York was nutty for my this year...better to start that list early.
But if one wants to do a bigger commission (higher price) it will need to be done after the show.

I hope to see some of you there..it would be great to chat with some of you! :)

Here's a link to the CTN site

I'll catch you all later,
Axel

Hey all! Wanted to upload a few pics from the Son of Monsterpalooza event at the Burbank Convention Center...which took place right before Halloween.
It was a good convention...lots of folks hanging out and checking out all sorts of cool stuff on display and for sale. It was great to catch up with a few folks there as well.

Nueva York Comic Con

Hey all! It's been awhile since my last post. Been busy in my end...from going to NYC for the NY Comic Con to moving into my office space at Titmouse Animation in Hollywood.
Here's a few pics for you all to check out on my trip.
Overall NYCC was pretty good...it was crowded with folks walking the aisles. Tickets sold out right before the con started as well. I did well in selling my latest sketchbook, Japon. I even did quite a few sketches/commissions for folks. It was great to get a chance to talk to new con goers whom normally wouldn't be able to attend west coast conventions like San Diego. I'm really thinking of doing it again next year...let see. :)

Cheers,
Axel

Comikaze 2012

Hey all wanted to share some doodles I did this past weekend at Comikaze. It was held at the LA Convention Center. There were a bunch of folks in Saturday...a long line to get in. With the sun beating down on those folks on that line...it was not fun.
The folks that run Comikaze should have been better prepared for this also other things during the con didn't run as smoothly as well.
Sunday was a disappointment...sakes wise...the crowds were less than Saturday. If I do this convention again I will go and artist alley instead of a 10x10...it's way cheaper. Plus they want to add an extra day...and charge more...I say forget that! Now they're doing Comic con prices...but without the comic con crowds with money to spend. Oh well I can stop venting now. I want to wish you all a great day! Also remember there's 9 more day on the GEEK Kickstarter please help spread the word and support if you can!

GEEK! Kickstarter

 Thanks!
