Sketch Tuesdayness

I headed over to sketch tuesday with skinner yesterday at 111 Minna gallery. We picked up a really polite, cool hitchhiker on the way named jack, stopped by juxtapoz and met some of the awesome people that work there and got to pick up a few books from there stock room, cool... ate a vegan doughnut at some place in japan town, and then headed over to the minna for sketch tuesday! It was so much fun, and I met so many cool people. Thanks to everybody that bought all my little paintings! I was having too much fun so I forgot to shoot any pictures, whoops! Maybe next month...

Wonder Con visit. San francisco.

I made my way down to SF on saturday to visit wonder-con, the annual convention populated by a surprisingly diverse crowd of occupants and fringe art, video game, science fiction, & comic book nerddom enthusiasts. It was pretty damn awesome! I was intirely too distracted and overwhelmed to take enough pictures. Still getting used to this whole blogging thing, hope you enjoy!

On my way to the moscone convention center I saw this awesome paste up on a light pole. I don't know who did it but its simply amazing looking and I had to put this on here!

It was extremely crowded, shoulder to shoulder in some of the isles.

I geeked out when I saw lou ferrigno. You gotta freak out over the hulk himself!

Also saw Peter Mayhew of Chewbacca fame. That was also pretty surreal. Long live Chewy.

There you have it! Like I said I was distracted, there was a lot more to be seen! Including Alex pardee's booth, skinner, and another sacto-hometown hero, Ben walker... 

SKINNER AND MARTIN ONTIVEROS SHOW. Whoo!

Lindsay, Chris baxter, and myself headed out to SF last night to go catch the Skinner, and Martin show over at Super 7.
I am lousy at taking pictures, I swear there will be more next time, and better pictures. One gets distracted, ya know? Awesomeness Below....

The very intimate gathering over at Super7. The dudes at S7 are ultra cool, thanks for throwing an awesome show!

The wall...

Some of Martin's paintings. So amazing.

There's Martin Unwittingly posing for my camera lense.

Some of skinner's paintings, as well as the man himself Laser Blastin' a book.
