Nuke the Fridge Con

So I did my first artist alley table at the Nuke the Fridge Con, a couple of weeks ago.  I have to say it was terrifying and then empowering.  I never really thought about it but I had never drawn in front of anyone outside a classroom setting.  I was scared out of my mind.  But I got a couple of cards under my belt and I felt much more confident.  I did pretty well for a small show I had some commissions and sold some cards, and some prints.  Good time all around, I can;t wait til I can do it again.

The Rocketeer

 This is a piece I have been working on, on and off, for a while and it has been finished for a while too, I have just been too lazy to scan and post.  I wanted to to an ink piece for Dave Steven's, the Rocketeer for a while, I think it just lens itself to a older look.  The reference photo came from a cosplay photographer I found on Flickr named  djwudi/Michael Hanscom, I think this guy is a really good photographer.  I need to work on developing some backgrounds...  LOL
