I made a quick trip to San Diego for the annual Comic Con International. Here are a few of my photos from the trip (via Flickr):

The San Francisco Renegade Arts and Craft Fair was a great success. Thanks to everyone who made it out to Fort Mason for the event. Here are some of the the photos I took (via Flickr):
Renegade, Gallery 1988 and Comic Con!
Hey, I'm back from a crazy getaway to Los Angeles. I went partly to get my nerd on with my pals at Bordello for "Wig Out! Get Your Nerd On!". At left is a picture of me and my collegues. Bay Area nerd-rockers "Three Day Stubble" performed and they were amazing as always.
I also talked myself into trying out for Bravo's new reality competition show, "Untitled Art Project". I didn't make the cut but it was an interesting experience and I met some nice artists in the queue. I was #136 in line and enjoyed lenthy discussions about Karate Kid, Iron Maiden, and heat exhaustion with Robyn (#135) and Amy (#137). Good luck out there ladies, wherever you are.
This has definitely been the busiest summer on record for me. This month is halfway over but there's still so much left to do. Next of the list is "The Renegade Craft Fair" at Fort Mason center. Here's the info along with my original calendar posting:
I'll be tabling at the annual Renegade Craft Fair in San Francisco at the historic Fort Mason Center. Working the booth along-side me will be "the Terror of the Carolinas" and creator of ONION HEAD MONSTER, Paul Friedrich. Please come to the event and support your favorite artists and craftspersons from all over. It's a great little primer for Comic Con, which happens the following week (sweet lord). Anyway, here's the infos and links:

THEN I'm swimming downstream to Comic Con Int'l to make the annual tranformation from Nerd to Dork. This will be the first year in many that I won't be attached to a table. I know I've made this claim in the past and somehow ended up with a table, but this time it's for reals. I plan on twittering the whole thing, so follow me if you want to keep updated. I will be guest sketching at the Sketch Theatre booth sometime late on Sunday. Please come by and watch me draw.

6/29 Make My Monday- Sketchfest at Fort Mason
I'll be sketching at Fort Mason Center on Monday June 29th as part of the new "Make My Monday" event. Here's the description from their website:
Got a case of the Mondays? Your Monday is about to get a makeover. The last Monday of every month, starting June 29, 2009. Fort Mason Center will host free happy hour events with the perfect blend of cocktails and culture. Make My Monday will include live art, drinks, and music. Take advantage of the waterfront views, enjoy drink specials, and support the local art community. Make My Monday is held in the spirit of similar events, such as San Francisco-based Southern Exposure's Monster Drawing Rally and 111 Minna's Sketch Tuesday, or the Drink-N-Draw of NYC, Portland, and Chicago. While sipping cocktails, local artists will create original, affordable artwork available for purchase from $5-$50.
RSVP at mmm@fortmason.org or on Facebook to hold your place at the bar.
Hope to see you there!
Burlesque Poster Design Book - Out Now!
Korero Books just released an amazing collection of Burlesque Poster Design. The samples on the website look fantastic, compiling artwork from events like "Exotic World Weekend", "The Yard Dogs Roadshow", and "Velvet Hammer Burlesque". Arists include the likes of Glenn Barr, Paul Pope, and yours truly. They printed my design for the 2004 Miss Exotic World pagent and my portrait of Dirty Martini. I'm awaiting my copy in the mail, but they sent me a preview of my spread via email. Thanks Korero!
Photos from "I HAVE THE POWEr" @Double Punch
Saturday's opening for the He-Man themed "I HAVE THE POWEr" was crammed with people and fantastic art. I question whether many of the attendees were old enough to catch He-Man the first time around, but the spirit was all there. Here are some of my Flickr photos from the event:

In keeping with the sugary-sweet venue, I'm showcasing artwork that I've made in collaboration with "Kitten on the Keys", Suzanne Ramsey. Miss Ramsey will be on-hand at the shop to meet and greet fans. I'll have a limited edition print that I've made especially for the event. Here's a taste:
