New York, New York.

So I just got back from the last day of my first NYCC. Oh man was it a blast. Absolutely a blast. I got to meet so many artists I admire and see so much cool stuff. I brought some of my work and got some really outstanding advice and encouragement from , and a few other artists not on here. The only person I missed that I wanted to see was . Maybe next year if she comes! There were a lot of really cool ass panels and behind the scenes stuff. Saw a bunch on X-Files 2, Wanted, Hellboy 2 and The Incredible Hulk. Let me tell you HULK is going to be so kick ass your eyes might have an orgasm. Everything I saw was really amazing and it looks like it's going to surprise a lot of people and be a lot different than Ang Lee's Hulk. They also confirmed (with footage) one of those pesky rumors about the crossovers to setup for an eventual Avengers movie.

I got A LOT of stuff too. A good bit of original artwork from , , , , , , and a few not on DA (that I know of): Oliver Nome, Paolo Rivera, Stephane Roux, David Quiles, Billy Tan, Lucio Parrillo, Mike Choi, Tyler Kirkham, and Mark Sparacio. I'll be scanning all of it at work tomorrow and posting at my Comic Art Fans Gallery [link] for those interested in seeing how lucky a fanboy I was this year.

I also picked up a bunch of issues of comics I was looking for and got some good deals too. Also completed my missing Astonishing X-Men collection.

The con did take its toll on me though. I was up at like 5 AM on Friday and Saturday and at 3AM this morning. I took the train and a cab to the con in the morning and then walked all day (in some worn out shoes no less) and then walked back to the train station. My feet feel like they're going to fall off. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining because I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but I need a break. I'm exhausted. I'm probably going to take the week off of coloring and relax, then sort some shit out and get re-focused. I've got a good bit of work ahead of me and really want to get to it, but want to get it right. Peace out peeps, I'm off to bed now.
