amanda connor never ceases to amaze me. she is so talented and totally a cool chick with a heart of gold!! its truly a cool moment for me when i find out she will be at a con i'm attending as well. at nycc, we talked about rich, amanda, jimmy palmiotti and myself grabbing a drink at megacon. i'm holding you to that, amanda! lol

here's my newest "sketch" by amanda. i love how she stays true to the classic uniform but makes it her own too. she said to me " a woman isn't going to only have one outfit. she would have many! she can't wear the same outfit over and over again!"

here's storm in all her glory! i think i'm getting classic psylocke from her in megacon!

David LaFluente

so this past weekend was the New York Comicon. its wasnt as good as it usually is for me. i guess too much competition. oh well.

i did, however, get a chance to get some great sketches from some great artists. as i'm sure you remember, i get x-women. i had the pleasure of meeting david lafluente and got this very sketch of surge from new x-men. david was the artist behind surge's story in the "x-men: divided we stand" storyline and "patsy walker:hellcat". it was no surprise, i had to get a surge picture from him. it urned out great!!! i'll be posting more sketches soon. i got new sketches from amanda coonor, mike choi, christopher jones and rey arzeno. sorry its been so long. it'll be more often!
