Check Please!

Hey Party People!

Just wanted to let you know about a very cool project that's trying to get funding through Kickstarter.
It's called "Check Please!" a 80 page art book filled with art drawn on guest checks....by many talented artists! I even contributed a few pieces to this project...it would be totally awesome to get to see this book printed. Please, give it a look...hopefully you got a few bucks to spare? Also please spread the word on this project to your friends and family! :)

Thanks,
Axel

It's been a week since going and exhibiting at the San Diego Comic-Con...there was a crap load of people as always...Myself and the artists at the booth did pretty well sale wise. The main thing was to promote ourselves and get a chance to meet so many awesome folks that stopped by the booth.

I'm charging $13 for Gargantuan plus shipping and handling of $5. I also ship internationally which will cost $12 You'll also get a quick sketch in the book as will. If you act now...I'll throw in a 5x7 print of a creature.

Happy 2013!!!

Hey all wanted to wish everyone one of you a wonderful 2013! I only want the best for all of you! Let's doodle like crazy for this year and beyond! 

I will be hammering away on these pages for GEEK! so all of you can read it by San Diego Comic Con 2013! Which is the time I want to be debuting the book! I did get a table/booth space as well for Comic Con with good buddy Eric Canete. Space #1631...but that number could change in the future once the Comic Con folks figure out the layout of the floor...they sent out a letter stating that there will be changes on this. So i hope to see some of you there!

For the first Convention of the year...I'll be doing (hopefully) Wonder Con in the end of March...then form there it's up in the air. There's SDCC that I already mention before in July. Maybe I'll be sitting in for a day or two at Anime Expo. There's also NYCC and CTN but those two conventions won't happen way later in the the year.

Please let me know what conventions or things you all will be doing in the coming weeks and the rest of the year!


Also don't forget that my latest sketchbook, Japon-"Wake Me for the Duty Free"...can still be order through this blog. :P

I'm charging $10 for the sketchbook plus shipping and handling($5). I also ship internationally which will cost $12 (even though it states I ship in the US only). I will be doing a quick sketch in each book that is ordered as well.

If any of you are interested in buying original art and commissions...one can go through Essential Sequential

I'll catch you all later...and rock on!

Cheer,
Axel
