Hello wonderful beautiful people! Wanted to let you know that I'll be heading out to New York City next week for the NY Comic Con...I'll be in Artist Alley at booth #A-7....hanging with the Essential Sequential crew. Here's a link to the NYCC site, also here's a link to the Essential Sequential site, Just to let you all know, I'll be doing $20 to $30 sketches at the show...one is able to go through Essential for a full on commission....please feel free ask Jason. I think New York Comic Con will be a cool event to do. It'll be my first comic convention outside of California. I hope to see some of you there. 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!

Long Beach One Day Convention

Hello all...hopefully everyone had a great weekend. Well, I had a table in artist alley this past Saturday over at LBCC. I really wasn't excepting much...I did alright in sales of my new sketchbook, Japon. I also sold some prints plus some commission sketches as well. It kind of prep me up for Comic Con in San Diego in July. I'll be in artist alley there sharing space with my great friend, Eric. We'll also be selling stuff plus making appearance at another booth...more info will come...with dates time and booth #'s.
Well, I wanted to share some images from LBCC that I took with my mobile phone.

Long Beach Comic Con!

Hello all! Wanted to let you know that I will be at the Long Beach Comic Con this coming Saturday, May 12...It's one day convention which is pretty cool. I'll be located in Artist Alley near my buddy Eric...I think? But I'm listed as Alex Ortiz...not Axel...oh well. :P If you happen to be free that day swing on by and stop by the table. I'll be selling copies of my new sketchbook, "Japon". I will be doing a quick sketch inside each copy of book that is sold. Prints will be available for sale as well. I will also be doing detail sketches starting at $20...one can place an order of a full commission starting at $100.
Well, I'll hope to see some of you there.  Have a productive week. Remember to doodle like a mad man! ...or mad woman? :P

WonderCon 2012

Hello All!

Just wanted to share with you a few pics taken this past weekend at WonderCon in Anaheim.
Overall it was a good show...myself and my mates at the table had a good time with chatting with the folks that stopped by the table.
But myself and few friends with tables there on the floor did better sale wise last year when the show was in it's home of San Francisco. Hopefully, it will go back to SF next year...but one never know what the Comic Con folks will actually be doing for this event?

My sketchbook, Japon was well received by the folks that stopped by the table and picked up a copy...Stuart Ng picked a a few copies to sell at his store in Torrance.
Got a chance to do a few commissions as well...plus sell only two prints, I'll do better on the next convention. :P

Also, if anyone is interested please feel free to contact me about getting a copy of Japon over to you by pressing the "Buy" button right here on the blog. I'll gladly do a sketch for each sketchbook that's ordered.

Well, I'll catch you later and remember to doodle your buts off!

Cheers,
Axel

Here's two pics that I took of my table in Artist Alley at Wizard World L.A. 08......I have to thank my good friend Eric Canete in helping me get this table.
