Highlights from Emerald City Comic Con

Hey all! I’m back from Emerald City Comic Con after an AMAZING weekend! Bought a number of new books, but more importantly scored a ton of new art! I would have to say the highlight of the show was chatting with Stefano Gaudiano (Spider-Man, Daredevil) and Matthew Southworth (Stumptown), who were conveniently seated next to one another. Stefano shall forever more be known as the nicest creator in comics! Incredibly friendly. AND he drew me not one but TWO incredible sketches–one for my Umbrella Academy collection (see the Gallery tab above) and this stunning Daredevil!

I feel pretty damn special right about now! Southworth was awesome too (and did an amazing Kraken in front of the St. Johns Bridge). He and my buddy Tommy must have talked drawing technique for an hour or more all told. I also scored original sketches from Moritat, Steve Lieber, and Steve Rolston, plus a quick sketch (Gus from Sweet Tooth) and 9×12 commission (Spaceboy) from Jeff Lemire.

The Emerald City con has become one of the premier cons around. I highly recommend that you check it out next year if you can! Peace. -Scott
