Well, yet another year gone by, and another awesome comic con.

One of my friends had a table there again this year, so I had a spot to crash during breaks in my shopping/socializing over the weekend. I spent ENTIRELY too much money on art, but hey. At least its support other artists.

I got the surprise of my life though when I came across BROM's table. I had no idea he was going to be there. lol. I've been head over heels for his stuff since I was a young teenager, so getting to meet him face to face was a privilege. I bought his newest book, an illustrated novel by the name of "The Devil's Rose", which he signed of coarse and made a little doodle inside the cover. I also picked up a print of "The Lone Wolf"([link]), one of my favorite pieces of his. It was the cover art for "Tales of the White Wolf" by Michael Moorcock, one of my favorite books. Anyhow, of coarse I couldn't pass up having my photo taken with him, although it really didn't turn out well at all. I look like serious crap, and it took some photo-shopping to fix the image due to how dark and grainy it was. [link] He was super nice, alot friendlier then other well known artists i've met. A very huggy sort of guy. So yeah, it was awesome meeting him.

I also picked up the newest Penny Arcade book, "Birds are Weird", since it was lacking from my set, and had the guys sign it. Also got a t-shirt from them.

I picked up a print([link]) from Alain Viesca, who is a rad artist from Oklahoma that flies up every year for this con...

And a couple framed works of art from a very interesting lady, Rochelle Heagh Phister. "Sister Vigilance"([link]) and "Sun Going Down"([link]). I like how they're printed onto canvas, and you got your choice of frame. They look very nice on my fire place mantle.
