Sketchbot Custom Show 2 Sneak Peek Day Five

Alright, technically, it's Thursday as I compose this final teaser grid before we head out to LA. I'm simply not going to have any time to do this in the morning before heading to the airport, so those of you up late get first dibs.

This last group is comprised of pieces by: Atomos, babyVtec, Steve Talkowski (hey, that's ME), Jenny Wolf, Mister Toast, Kingquan, Phetus, Gumpy Revolution, and Scott Tolleson.

I hope you've all enjoyed a week's worth of teasers. Be sure to come back for complete coverage from the show at Munky King, plus all the cool events going down in Pasadena this Saturday at Designer Con!

Happy All Hallows' Eve!

It's been a crazy October, which started off with a whirlwind 3 days at NYCC, where Variant 2/Blue was released. (view my Flickr set here) I've been busy getting ready for the epic Sketchbot Custom Show 2 which opens at Munky King LA in 3 weeks, along with Designer Con the day after.  Stay tuned for some teaser images that I'll start releasing from all the participating artists about a week before the show opens.  In the meantime, have a safe and fun Halloween!

SDCC 2010 Recap

I know, it's already 2 weeks after San Diego Comic Con, but I didn't come straight home - I had a 5-day stopover in LA to attend Siggraph. Finally settled in back home and going thru a ton of shots from four days of Comic Con crazyiness. I had an absolute blast signing and drawing at Dragatomi's booth Thur-Sat. Huge thanks to Ray and Joanne for inviting me to be part of their first Comic Con experience as exhibitors.

Special thanks to my distributer, DKE Toys, for getting Sketchbot some awesome exposure at their booth. We announced the next two colourways and the response is overwhelmingly positive.  The blue variant will drop at NYCC, so mark your calendars and come out to Javitz Center this Oct to score Sketchbot Variant 2!

I've been going thru the multitude of photos I took over the course of 4 days and slowly getting them up on Flickr. The big draw for me this year was all the Tron Legacy stuff. I got in to the off-site Flynn's Arcade and checked out the awesome club-behind-the-arcade. Though I missed the Tron panel with cast and director, I DID get to see the Tron presentation at Siggraph a week later. I'm still pouring thru photos, so check back in a few days for more Comic Con coverage!

Sketchbots Revealed!

Just a quick post to upload my official pictures of the new Sketchbot colourways, then off to the convention center for my first signing of the day!

Sketchbot at SDCC 2010

It's that time of the year to head out to San Diego and geek out on comics, art, and designer toys! Sketchbot is out and will be available for purchase at the show. If you'd like a signed copy, make your way to the Dragatomi Booth #3848 on Thursday, 11am, and Saturday, 11am, when I'll be on hand to sign and sketch.

Another booth you're definitely going to want to swing by is my distributor, DKE Toys #4732. We'll be revealing Variants 2 and 3 in the Sketchbot series!

Looking forward to meeting all the new fans of Sketchbot at the show - see you in San Diego!
