As the string of fall and winter holidays were approaching I was curious to see what kind of activities a group of creative people like Periscope Studio would be doing. I found out for Hallowe’en theres a big huge haunting on Hawthorne and Thanksgiving brought Germans to the table.
I was especially interested to see what kind of Christmas cheer would sprinkle its way through the hearts of these people. And one exciting event is thanks to Laura Hudson from Comics Alliance to have Periscope Studio do an illustration representing each day for the song ‘12 days of Christmas’. Amazingly, I got to do the 1st day which you can see- HERE! It’s going to be great as each day brings new and fantastic art leading up to Christmas this year.
Oh, only a year or two ago I decided to find out exactly when the 12 days of Christmas are and learned that the first day is Christmas and that it ends on January 6th!
I forgot to post the last page this past Sunday, but it’s posted now. And there’s oh so much to absorb from it.
That completes part 1. I would love to continue on regularly with part 2 but now I’m working on a professional project for Dark Horse Presents. I’m putting all of my focus on trying to establish a career for the forseeable future.
Providing for my survival by using creativity and artwork. Oh, what a wonderful possibility!
Yesterday, Sunday the 15th, I attended the Portland Comic Convention as an exhibitor making it my first convention. I found out a week prior that I would have a table so it was a mad dash to continue working on my first professional comics work as well as gather whatever I could for display. In the end, I only had five copies of part 1 of the ‘Revolution: Dream- Great New Life’ mini series out on the table. Next time I’d like to prepare far in advance and have a colorful selection available.
Fortunately my table was shared with Ben Dewey who brightened things up with his winning personality and superb artwork. People who stopped by got to see a sneak peek of an upcoming Marvel Adventures Spider-man that Ben is illustrating! This is his first work with Marvel following a story for Dark Horse you can read- HERE. (Check in November 2009 if you read this post anytime after this month. It’s written by the famous Jeff Parker!)
A number of people also got free sketches from Ben and I throughout the day. It was a ton of fun and I’m very glad to have gotten to do a bunch of drawing. It helped that I drew a number of my favorite characters! How could it get better?
Oh yeah, the print version of Revolution: Dream collected part 1 up to page 22 and had this for a cover.
