Just thought I'd show off one of my latest.. .

This is from Brittany, France, done from a picture I took during my last trip there in the Fall of 2007.
The tower is call "Solidor", or "Tour Solidor", and it is in St. Servan - St. Malo, on the northern coast. We spent many a days in the area as kids.

Done in color pencil, for the Art House Co-op Sketchbook Project 2012.

7000 BC at Albuquerque Comic Expo 2011

Albuquerque Comic Expo (ACE) | June 24–26 | Friday and Saturday, 10:00–7:00; Sunday, 10:00–6:00 | Albuquerque Convention Center | Albuquerque, NM

7000 BC is pleased to be a part of the inaugural Albuquerque Comic Expo, New Mexico’s premier comic book, pop culture and entertainment event.

For the first time ever, some of the biggest names in comics will join publishers, dealers, gamers, collectors, fan organizations, and more at the Albuquerque Convention Center.

This is our chance to build a major comic convention in New Mexico, so show your support and attend.

7000 BC will have a booth on the main floor, and many of our members and friends will have tables in Artist Alley. We'll be updating our site with a list of can't-miss comic creators, writers, and artists as the convention gets closer.

There's still some space in Artist Alley — if you're interested, we know a guy. Send an email.

Albuquerque Comic Expo

The first Albuquerque Comic Expo will be held June 24–26 at the Albuquerque Convention Center. There's a terrific list of guests and exhibitors — and the Artist Alley is shaping up to be a great crowd.

7000 BC is encouraging our small press colleagues to join us at the show and make a strong showing for independent comics. Many of our members have their own tables, but 7000 BC will have a booth on the main show floor — and we plan on using it to show comics from our friends and point attendees to their table.

There's registration info on the site — but we've got special pricing, so please send an email and/or leave a comment if you're interested.

Join us — and bring your comics to a new audience.
