As New York Comic Con approaches, it occurred to me what I wanted to go in with *at least* one new print. And while I had a number of Young Justice prints to offer, I had nothing connected to my work on the Harley Quinn animated series, which has been my day job for more than two years now.
Years ago when I was drawing The Batman Strikes (tie-in comics for the 2004 The Batman animated series) one of my favorite covers I did on that title happened to feature Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, so I decided to remake that cover in the style of the current Harley Quinn animated series and make that my newest 11″x17″ color print. After NYCC this will be added to the prints available in my Etsy store, but it will make its debut at this year’s New York Comic Con. Like my other prints it will be available at my convention rate of $20, or 3 prints for $50.
Here’s the original Batman Strikes cover for reference.
I am delighted to be returning again this year to New York Comic Con, October 3-6 at the Javits Center in the heart of Manhattan. This year, NYCC Artist Alley will be returning to Hall 1B on the 1st Floor of the building, and I’ll at Artist Alley tableB-10 all four days. Artist Alley hours are as follows:
I was too busy to other deadlines to solicit commission sketches in advance of the con, but will ABSOLUTELY be doing sketches there. My sketch list fills up FAST, so if you want a sketch from me during the convention, I recommend seeking me out and getting in my list as early as possible!
And in case you don’t read all the way to the end of this long post, remember: I love chatting with fans, and autographs and photos are always free!
Svengoolie Meets the DC Universe
Have you heard about Svengoolie Meets the DC Universe? The 8-page epic has the Me-TV horror host meeting the Justice League and a certain Clown Prince of Crime, and will be serialized in 2-page chapters inserted into DC Comics starting October 16, with a the whole thing collected into a comic that Svengoolie will have at signings and appearances as he celebrates his 40th Anniversary. And I drew it!I’ll be doing a signing with Svengoolie himself at the DC Comics Booth on Friday from 12:30pm – 1:30pm, just before the DC Presents Svengoolie panel from 2:45pm – 3:45pm, in room 1A06.
I will NOT have my Svengoolie print (as seen on the set of Sven’s TV show) for sale at the signing, but I *will* have it available at my Artist Alley table, so pick one up beforehand if you’re hoping to get one signed by Sven!
Books for Sale
At my Artist Alley table I’ll be selling and signing (while supplies last) of Young Justice Book 1: The Early Missions, collecting of issues 0-13 of the tie-in comic to the Young Justice animated TV series, and Marvel Action Spider-man: Spider Chase, collecting issues 4-6 of Marvel Action Spider-man.
