Wow. That is all I can say.

Super busy and having a blast. Too tired and overstimulated.

I can’t wait to hang out with the friends and crew at the winery on Monday and unwind.

Picture of the Day:

Here’s a color study for the Jungle Queen book I’m writing and drawing for the French market down the road. I’m gonna water color the whole book. Yes, she’s gonna be a red head.

Big Wow Inking Panel - Frank Cho Inks Jim Lee’s Batman

I can’t believe Big Wow Comic Fest at San Jose is just days away. I’ve got so many crap to take care of and prepare before the convention.

I’m doing couple of big art class/panels at the show. First being, my drawing class and second is the inking panel.

Big Wow Comic Fest has an unique and highly interactive inking panel.

This is a brain child of Steve “Law Boy” Morger. Instead of talking about the inking process, why not show it. Various comic professionals and guests at the show are provided with penciled art copied on blue

line paper, and asked to ink the penciled image in their style.

Penciled pieces range from the past legends, late Dave Stevens and John Buscema, to current superstar, Jim Lee.

These inked pieces are shown side-by-side with the penciled image, and analyzed by the artists and fans alike. Fans can see the dramatic transformation from the pencil stage to the finished inked stage. The

discussions are lively and insightful. It’s often one of the highlights of Big Wow Comic Fest.

Here’s me inking over the Jim Lee’s bad-ass Batman pencil art.

The great part is that all the inked pieces are auctioned off at the end of the convention. Fans can own an original art by their favorite artists for cheap.

You can see all the inked pieces for this inking panel at Big Wow Comic Fest here:

Countdown to San Jose Big Wow Comic Fest

Well, Big Wow Comic Fest is just around the corner at San Jose, May 19 - 20. And boy, do I have a crap load of stuff planned.

http://bigwowcomicfest.com

First, the bad news. The Liberty Meadows calendar will not be ready since I’m still shy of 3 months worth of Brandy art. But I should have the calendar ready for Heroes Con at North Carolina.

Now, the good news. My drawing art class/workshop is in full swing.

Again this year, the main focus will be drawing women, and Ivy Doomkitty will be our live model for us. (See attached photo. Wowzer!)

This class is free and opened to everyone at the San Jose Big Wow Comic Fest. So come early and stake out a good seat.

I still haven’t figured out what I’ll bring to the show, yet. But I may have some original art for sale or least, my art dealer, Steve Morger, will.

Here’s the latest Brandy pin-up for my upcoming 2013 Liberty Meadows calendar.
