3 items.
A couple of things for today…
Item Number One:
John Mayer is one of those types of people that drive caricature artists crazy because there’s not really any super distinguishable features about him. Really. So, I chose to go with an older version of John when he was styling his hair very long and wearing ridiculously long scarfs.
Item Number Two:
Don’t forget, I will be at the Virginia Comic Con this weekend (with my wife) November 21 & 22. Click on the link to find out more information, who will be there and all the great things that will be happening. On Saturday, I will be on a panel about small press/webcomics so I’m really excited about that (and the fact this will be the first con that my wife will be able to participate in as well).
Item Number Three:
Are you into Podcasts? Do you like to listen to creators talk about their craft? If so, you might want to check out a little Podcast I’m co-hosting called Lightbox – Illuminating webcomics.
Item Number Four:
Okay… I just finished watching the movie “Australia” with Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman and I’m really confused about something. Why didn;t this movie do better at the box office? Was it that the length of the movie was too intimidating for some people? Was it a matter of WHEN the movie came out? Personally, I enjoyed the movie and thought it had a really good “Dances with Wolves” kind of vibe to it – at least in the sense that it told a story about the natives of Australia in a very personal way. The story was expansive but moved at a pretty rapid pace… I mean, as much as I loved the Lord of the Ring movies, there were lots of places in those movies were scenes were pretty slow and methodical. I didn’t get the sense that was the case at all with “Australia”. And I could totally tell Hugh was in the process of getting ripped for Wolverine: Origins while filming that movie.
Anyway, I just really enjoyed it and was wondering what other people might have thought.
Okay… so there were a few more things than “just a couple”.

I will be doing commissions, trading cards and anything else you might want me to draw. I will also be selling the first four mini-comics of Capes & Babes. Here is the address to Little Fish Comics:

Well, wouldn’t it be YOUR personal hell too if you lived with, not only a nag but a SUPER POWERED NAG???

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY

Today’s term is “Hierarchy” and I thought I’d justify my entry for today as being the Hierarchy in a relationship or marriage. Hope you guys think that today’s Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor cartoon depicts the exact kind of relationship hierarchy I imagine Steve would have with Diane.

VIRGINIA COMIC CON

This one was a while back but I wanted to post some pictures of people who bought some mini-comics from me or commissioned me for a sketch. Here are their pictures:
I have to apologize to those of you that were at the Roanoke Valley Comic Con last Saturday. I wanted to post your pictures too but when I took a look at them, they were all very blurry. That is usually a sign that the disc in the camera was too bloated. Sorry about that.

For those that like to read this strip via their RSS feeds, I am currently taking a poll on my site to see who among you might be a Capes (male) or a Babe (female). If you would like to participate in the poll, you must go to my home page at www.capesnbabes.com. You can find the poll at the top of my right side bar just above my Twitter Feed widget. Please join in today. I’m just curious to see how many male and/or female readers read this strip.
Also, I will be attending the Virginia Comic Con this Sunday, November 23rd from 10:00am – 4:00pm in Richmond, Virginia. If you’re in the neighborhood, attend the show and stop by my table and say “hi”. If you need more information, please click the comic con link above to go to their web site to read more information.
Hope to see you there!
