COMICKINGS Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I went down to Wizard World New Orleans this past weekend to get signatures on the 2 drawings of Stan Lee and Norman Reedus. We had a great time! Stan Lee was too funny! We had to do 2 different shoots when we did his photo op...he said my drawing messed the picture up the first time...then when I went to get him to sign it...he looked at it and said.."I never knew I was so handsome"...then I went over to Norman Reedus and this guy appreciates his fans so much! He was taking time to talk to everybody that was getting his signature. When he saw my picture he really liked it and asked if I minded if he put it up on his Twitter account...(like I minded!)...the guy was awesome! Later that night he posted it on his Facebook page and it's got almost 70,000 likes and over 1,000 comments...mostly good,and some bad...I appreciate the compliments and critiques. I have just picked up the pencil again after not doing anything for the last 18 years...I'm getting the itch again and hopefully will have some more cool stuff to show you guys soon! Here's some pics...and thanks for looking!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Ron Dude Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 This is my memory of a very large convention from the very early 1970s. To do it I downloaded three photos I found on the internet which suggested the ballroom, but most of it is just the way I remember it-- hundreds of old boys and young men, no comic boxes but stacks of comics and comics in makeshift boxes, scraggly hair, clothes from the 1950s both in style and age, Maggie, Paty and the Vartinoff sisters and people having fun in their own way. It is sort of a "Where's Waldo" for comic fans. If I get a bit of time I will colour it. That's supposed to be a young Ron Kasman second from the lower left corner and up a bit, not the one with the facial hair-- the one with the acne. I left out the goitre and the hare lip. I would have been seventeen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see this being an awesome print. I can't wait to see it coloured (to use your spelling)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Ron Dude Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Went by your Deviant gallery and it entertained me as I ate breakfast. They were all very nice but my favourite was probably young man by the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingOfRulers Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I wanted to make a short story centering around my Dalmatian, Plucky. I don't really have a story direction or solid idea, so right now it's just these drawings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
