Creator-Con

For those of you who have been disenchanted with ComicCon, here is an alternative. Creator-Con is a group of artists, graphic novelists, and cartoonists who want to get back to what ComicCon was in the first place: a chance for a bunch of nerdy kids who were like-minded to meet .

I kid.

But if you feel as these folks do, let em know. It would be nice to go to a Con and meet with actual artists again. It would even be nicer if the location changed each year to allow east cost folks to attend. Not that I would be opposed to a trip to sunny LA.

Influences

Every once in a while I peruse my bookshelf for a bit of inspiration. Edmund Dulac pointed the way for me. While in college I would go to the library and skim the stacks for artists that I might like. I found a book about Dulac and borrowed it thereafter so many times that when I got older I bought the book on ebay. His compositions amazed me. I like his use of ground. I also like how he pulled color out of his watercolor to create light and shadow in this fabric. The first image above has been so ingraned in my noggin that I could probably replicate it from memory.
