TeamSD: Adventures of Lawyer Girl and Demian Man

So far I’m pretty surprised at how consistent I have been with updates. On the other hand, all TWO of them were comic book related things and as I likely won’t be going to another comic book convention until February 2010, we might be in trouble with my post count.

Anyways, SuperCon was an okay show this year. They had a lot of pretty cool names on the list and I managed to grab a few pieces. Unfortunately, the Adam Hughes disappointment still continues. I’ve been getting on his convention list since 2004 and have nothing to show for it yet. Well, I’m going to try to stay positive and hopefully I’ll get one next year!

So before I get into the pieces I got, I just wanted to mention, pretty much every time I drag Jaci to a comic book convention, I need to take her shopping to appease her. Normally it’s pretty terrible, but we made a quick stop at Anthropologie, perhaps my most hated store because #1 I don’t get it…is it old? is it new? is it just really expensive? and #2 its very perfumee, smelly and is terrible for my allergies. However, she got something I semi approve of =P

ZING! Maybe next year we’ll pick up the letters h4x. =P

So, far my pictures here I think I’ll be sticking with Picasa for awhile (or at least until I hit their 1GB storage…which isn’t that much all Google things considered),.

The piece I got include (larger thumbnails below):

• a SuperGirl piece from Whilce Portacio. Pretty stoked about this piece. Whilce is one of the original founders of Image Comics and is most  known for his work on Punisher, X-Factor and more recently Spawn.
• A quick sketch from Travis Charest of his original character Spacegirl
• Another Supergirl piece from Joe Benitez
• A quick sketch from Humberto Ramos of Supergirl
• And finally a commission from Eduardo Risso of Supergirl
• pending I got on Talent Caldwell’s list first thing but he had artists block on it so he said he’ll aim to finish it this Friday.

** POST CON UPDATE **

So kind of funny story. One of my co-workers heard of my sadness about yet another lost chance at my Adam Hughes commission so on Monday when I came to work I was welcomed with a nice surprise. Not an Adam Hughes piece, but a Calestar Original Punisher!!!111 Bam! Demian out!

So I realized i never posted any info on our trip to WonderCon so I figured I should post up some pictures, especially with our SuperCon trip coming up this weekend. Also, since I’m using the G1 now for my cell phone and it’s pretty well integrated with Picasa, I think i’ll give that a shot to see how it’s picture interface is.

Overall WonderCon was pretty cool. We only got 4 pieces but they were all really awesome. The first is Supergirl by a Wildstorm Artist Eddie Nunez. The second is another Supergirl by Aspen artist Joe Benitez. The third piece, and probably one of Jaci and my favorites is an awesome Rogue by Aspen Artist Micah Gunnel. The way this guy draws is absolutely fantastic. The 4th is a quick sketch Micah did for me in the sketchbook of Supergirl (pictures below).

We skipped out on Saturday (as per the usual) to avoid the really hectic crowds, so on Sunday we checked out the Chuck panel which was pretty interesting. It was a lot more packed than we thought it would be (although maybe not enough given all the save chuck ruckus that’s been going on. Anyhoo, hopefully I’ll get some really awesome goodies from SuperCon this weekend!
