Sketches from Summit City Comic Con 2012

Wow, Summit City Comic Con was amazing! Coming out of Fort Wayne Indiana, and in only it's third year, the show grew by leaps and bounds. Over 100 artist tables and early estimates of twice the attendance of last year, and it must be true because the place has hopping all day. I did better business at this one day show than I've done at many three day shows. And it was a fantastic time. I got to see so many old friends that I don't get to see nearly enough. Not everybody was there, a few faces were not in attendance for one reason or another, and they were sorely missed. My pal Zack Kruse is the driving force behind this show, and he pulled it off masterfully. He made some strong efforts to get people through those doors and to make sure they had a good time. It showed, from the very first moments when the line stretched down the lobby, all the way to the final seconds when people were cramming to get in one last purchase or word of conversation. There was so much good energy at this show, everybody looked like they were having a blast. I know I did.

Here's some sketches from the show. The rest of my pics can be seen on my flickr and facebook.

The first is my contribution to a 12 Angry Men jam piece:

Sketches from Free Comic Book Day 2012

Here are most of the sketches I did for Free Comic Book Day this past Saturday. Big thanks to everyone who came by and extra thanks to the fine folks at Phantom of the Attic in Oakland (Pittsburgh, for those who aren't local and don't know the neighborhoods) for having me at the store. It was an awesome time, even if it did get a little steamy in there.

Night of 1000 Wolves cover 3

Finally, the cover to issue 3! The concluding issue of Night of 1000 Wolves is in the current issue of the Previews catalog, due for a July release. So don't forget to pre-order! Issue one is due to hit the stand NEXT WEEK! Be sure to stop by your local comic shop and get your copy.

If you're in Pittsburgh, I'll be at Phantom of the Attic in Oakland twice in the coming week. Saturday is Free Comic Book Day all across the nation, and I'll be doing sketches all day. Then, Wednesday the 9th, I'll be signing copies of Issue 1 from 4-8pm. C'mon by!

Sketches from Pittsburgh Comicon 2012

Pittsburgh Comicon 2012. Over all, it went really well. Saturday was downright crazy busy. There were a few difficult times, mostly due to my recent surgery, but with a few pain pills and a little help from my friends, I managed to make it through. It was awesome to see so many familiar faces. Also, met some extremely pleasant and inspiring folks this year. Many thanks to everyone who stopped by!

Here are the sketches I did during the show. To see all my pictures from the event, check out my facebook and flickr pages.

Accepting Pre-Orders for Pittsburgh Comicon and Summit City

I am now accepting sketch pre-orders for Pittsburgh Comicon, April 20-22 and Summit City Comic Con, May 12th in Fort Wayne Indiana. If you're going to the con, you can email me with a pre-order. Due to my work schedule, I will be finishing most of these at the convention. So if you are only going to be there at a certain time, be sure to let me know so that I can schedule to have yours done when you show up. Space is very limited this year, so sign up early!


Pre-pay via PayPal to avoid carrying so much cash at the con. Just send me an email at dave@davedrawscomics.com

Thanks!
