I don't mind talking to fans:)<BR/><BR/>Last Con I went to on the west coast was 96 San Diego con.<BR/><BR/>We're still waiting on some stuff about the pic:)<BR/><BR/>The sketchbook was done, the airlines cancelled a bunch of flights and the sketchbook was on one of them (Sunday a whole bunch of flights were cancelled people were stranded until Tuesday.) Then UPS tried to deliver it to the hotel but everyone had gone to the con and so they had to wait until the driver got back and then go pick them up. Only one box of 8 was delivered. Not anyones fault just the weather, it happens.<BR/><BR/>Well comics used to be smaller, 16 pages so most artists could do a monthly. <BR/><BR/>I hadn't done a con since 99 or 2000.<BR/><BR/>I have tentative plans to go to SDCC next year. I don't do the artist alley thing. I don't go for the entire weekend and people always seem to move into your space if you don't go every day. And then they want sketches, which I don't really like to do.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>BrettBretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12168403050889835504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68327275018045829.post-1932183287748890332007-03-22T01:41:00.000-06:002007-03-22T01:41:00.000-06:00hi brett,i saw some pics from WWLA including yours...hi brett,<BR/><BR/>i saw some pics from WWLA including yours from i think marvel.com and it seems very kickback, i heard some like it because they didn't miss anything but yeah, seemed too kickback almost boring so now i don't feel as bad missing it<BR/><BR/>ww hulk don't care for it, don't even care for hulk<BR/><BR/>when was the last time you went to the la or sd cons,'93?<BR/><BR/>hell, i started to go to SDCC in '92<BR/><BR/>pic not used? that sux and the frikkin' sketchbook too?<BR/><BR/>isn't there a way to get it done before a convention? this including any publishing from any publisher? <BR/><BR/>what happened to get it done first then release it to the public?<BR/><BR/>remember the "see you in 30 days" at the end of an issue?<BR/><BR/>with those concerns no wonder i can't find you,<BR/><BR/>i ask around for you almost every 2 years at SDCC<BR/><BR/>will i ever have a chance to get my thundercats,darkness,wildcore and of coarse my backlash issues signed?<BR/><BR/>i'm hopeful that you might reconcider by having a table in artist's alley and no panels to go to, or better yet just tell us here and don't go on bussiness but to just meet fans<BR/><BR/>heck it works for tim sale every year<BR/><BR/>i understand what you mean by offing the characters but that's what happens when you hand over a character you created/ help make the character as one that people remember you for even though that was image/og wildstorm/ageis<BR/><BR/>personally i though it went down hill as soon as you put out that vacation special and kindred 2, i thought they sucked, i think the only reason i would keep them is because of the character and your artwork<BR/><BR/>please reconcider i'd like to see you in person<BR/><BR/>thankxCOMIKXGUYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17079159786146685933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68327275018045829.post-68196493230386734702007-03-21T11:02:00.000-06:002007-03-21T11:02:00.000-06:00Sorry, no plan to go to San Diego right now.Sorry, no plan to go to San Diego right now.Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12168403050889835504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68327275018045829.post-15742073533852109142007-03-21T11:01:00.000-06:002007-03-21T11:01:00.000-06:00Show was small, which was good.

A few questions were asked about power levels? And Thor. <BR/><BR/>Not much pain from the flight which was pleasant. I still hate flying but Southwest has made a dramatic improvement from when I flew on it in 93.<BR/><BR/>Pic might get used, might not. It's out of my hands. The damn sketchbook was late and didn't show up until 3:30 Saturday. I sketched from then until 6:30 then went back to the hotel and sketched for another few hours. I'm not doing that again. I also got some stomache bug so thanks to whoever gave that to me.<BR/><BR/>The female BL is his daughter, which we actually predicted in Backlash #25. I'm not found of her outfit to much skin. Signed alot of BL and Wildcore, a few FF very few Extinction Event and no Thundercats or Darkness. I wish they would just kill him and Taboo off, so I don't have to worry about them screwing them up anymore than they have.<BR/><BR/>That's all for now. I'll have a new post soon, just need to scan:)Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12168403050889835504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68327275018045829.post-85471191356496909992007-03-20T21:51:00.000-06:002007-03-20T21:51:00.000-06:00hey brett!so what did they say about putting the o...hey brett!<BR/><BR/>so what did they say about putting the og anita pic as an extra or on the back cover?<BR/><BR/><BR/>btw thankx again for the help but guess what?<BR/><BR/>i didn't go.<BR/><BR/>i guess its SDCC then<BR/><BR/>will you be at SDCC ? if so let us know here and on SDCC's site<BR/><BR/>also what do you think of that female backlash?COMIKXGUYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17079159786146685933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68327275018045829.post-81461927351231831812007-03-20T11:16:00.000-06:002007-03-20T11:16:00.000-06:00so how was the show?so how was the show?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68327275018045829.post-56260432191955530212007-03-18T20:48:00.000-06:002007-03-18T20:48:00.000-06:00Hi!Its been a long time!
