Maine Comics Arts Festival

The Maine Comics Arts Festival is this Sunday in Portland, Maine. I will be there with Bob Flynn, doodling in copies of Heeby Jeeby Comix and drawing free monsters!

You should come! Just look at what happened last year!

MeCAF Report

I had a blast at the Maine Comics Festival on Sunday. Here's a shot of Bob (on the right) and I.

As advertised, we did Free Monster Drawings all day—more than 50 each! Unfortunately, I don't have a visual record of these, but I got some great requests. Some of my favorite drawing challenges were a monster made out of Legos, a monster who "likes to go out to dinner," a 16-headed monster (generously down-graded to a 12-header by the requester as my drawing paper began to fill up with monster heads), and a 3-headed monster who has a really long tongue in one head, breathes fire from the second head, and spits out pencil shavings (!) from the 3rd head. If anyone reading this got a monster drawing from me, send me a photo of it! I would love to remember more of what I drew.
We were scribbling out monsters like crazy, but Ellen Crenshaw was even more ambitious than we were. Go read her MeCAF report!
Now I can't stop drawing monsters:

That's right, I'm heading up to Portland, Maine on Sunday with Dave K for the Maine Comics Art Festival.

Bob Flynn will be there selling copies of the brand new Heeby Jeeby Comix comic book.

So if you're in the neighborhood, come check it out! It should be fun.
