COMIC CON!!!

Next week is the big one, the 2012 San Diego Comic Con! And I'll be there... at a booth... with things to share, show and even sell! I'll be there for several reasons so if you're there stop by and say hi:
Oh by the way our table will be right next to the tank full of live snakes! click here to see why

  (1) First of all I'm going as part of the ILM art Department booth. Our first time doing this but we're excited to get to share some insights into what we do and how we do it. We'll be the small table within the giant Lucasfilm area. We'll have Ralph McQuarrie art on display along with art from the past 35 years of ILM. All 4 of our VFX Art directors will be on hand for demos and a panel on Art Direction Friday July 13th in room 7AB from 1-2pm.

So stop by and see what we have to offer and say hello!

  (2) Secondly we are celebrating the late great Ralph McQuarrie's art and his massive contribution to the Star Wars universe and to us as artists. There will be a tribute to him at the panel discussion on Friday July 13th in room 7AB from 1-2pm.

  (3) I'll be selling some art prints from the new Nuthin' But Mech book that comes out at Comic Con. (The books will be at the Design Studio Press booth) I have made a limited run of 11x14 archival prints of the mechs I designed for the book. They are printed on heavyweight matte stock paper with archival inks.

I'll also be selling a few copies of my Gnomon DVD series for a discount. 

  (4) And if you haven't heard the buzz yet, director Guillermo Del Toro is making a new EPIC movie called Pacific Rim, which I am currently working on. He will be presenting something special in Hall H on Saturday 2:30-5:00 during the Warner Bros / Legendary Pictures panel. So be sure to camp out for that because it is sure to be amazing!

  (5) And finally, The Silver Cord. I'll be on hand with a hard copy of the 1st book, and a flyer with links to where you can download it FOR FREE and links to the Kickstarter page to help us fund book 2. Only 13 days left to go and we still need LOTS of funding! If you read book 1 and liked it, please help there be a completion to the story and donate to be a part of the second book ASAP!

    OK, time to get ready, I hope to see you there!
geek out above and beyond!
