We are back CRAZIES!!! And hey! It's opening day of the San Diego County Fair! Granted, I can't go due to work, but that just means I'll have more to spend when I do go! So, yeah, you may have heard a little thing called Comic Con is rapidly approaching, but first, there's something else important that precedes it...
For close to a decade now, I have contributed art to the Team Cul De Sac Art Auction held every year at HeroesCon in Charlotte, NC. All proceeds go towards research in finding a cure for Parkinson's Disease, a terrible illness that has claimed many lives, including that of cartoonist Richard Thompson, the creator of Cul De Sac. Below are the pieces I have sent in for the auction...
HERMIT CRAB HUNT: Alice and Mr. Danders have gone out hunting for usurping hermit crabs on the remains of the Bliss Haven Preschool. Pen and ink mixed media piece illustrated on 9 x 12in. vellum paper and colored in Olo Markers and PrismaColor Colored Pencils.
MIKE & MINDY: FRIENDSHIP IS CHAOS!!!: Mike and Mindy are back and taking their cartoony mayhem to unheard of levels! Second grade just can't contain these loony tykes! Pen and ink mixed media piece illustrated on 9 x 12in. vellum paper and colored in Olo Markers and PrismaColor Colored Pencils.
If you're going to be in the Charlotte area on the night of June 20, please consider attending the auction. In addition to being a rare chance to own some CRAZY original art, it's also for a very noble cause. Parkinson's isn't picky. Anybody can get it and now, more than ever, researchers need funding to find a cure to this horrible disease. So please make the rounds and drop some bids. Trust me, there's gonna be some incredible artwork up for grabs. Think of it as a duel prize: You get some cool art on your wall while Parkinson's Disease gets a swift kick in the ass! It's a winning combination!
Now, it's time to head back to the surprisingly distant past for anther Comic Con long gone. The time is 2015, the place is San Diego. Hold on to your Flaming Hot Cheetos CRAZIES!!! The CRAZY COMIC CON COUNTDOWN is on!!!
Another very rare behind the scenes shot during load-in, this time in Hall C. It's wild to think how cavernous the building can be with no booths in it!
The FX Experience! Quite possibly the longest running offsite at this point, it has become a grand tradition for all to enjoy at SDCC, badge or not!
If only a baseball bat were enough...
Thank God for the Joker! He spits some real truth!
Some ponies spreading some happiness with a little one!
Stormtroopers marching their way towards what would become a very legendary Hall H panel for Star Wars!
The much loved and much missed NerdHQ! Got some killer swag and snacks there!
A true power couple right here!
Another Nickelodeon Legend!
Always something really cool going on at the Petco Park Interactive Zone!
Suddenly Mario...
Is here to provide yooooooooou...
So Gandalf, a Spaceball and apparently Jeff Hardy walk into a bar...
Would you look at that? Odlaw and Wizard Whitebeard! Someone finally thought outside the box with their Where's Waldo? cosplay?
Dr. Hammond spared no expense for this date!
And that was SDCC 2015! A pretty legendary year, largely because of the epic Star Wars panel and concert that followed. This is another one that is such a blur now despite doing some really cool things, though I did get stung by a bee while taking part at the Hero Initiative's Drink 'N' Draw event! I recovered though and spent some quality time with my nephew and niece, as seen in the pic at the top of the post. They're all grown up now, but still have fond memories of getting fro-yo for breakfast with Uncle Jon!
Well, another post bites the dust, but there's seriously nothing to worry about folks. We got LOTS more Comic Con coverage coming, so hang tight and come back next week! Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!
