Just a friendly reminder that CrockerCon is tonight at the Crocker Art Museum in downtown Sacramento from 6 until 9:30pm. It’s an all-ages show with a lot to do––especially seeing the variety and breadth of art and comics made by local creators.

In promotion for the show, I again was honored to participate in a segment for Good Day Sacramento where I did some live drawing of cosplayers (the wonderful League of Heroes Inspired) and talked a little about the poster I drew for this year’s event:

As before, it was nerve-wracking in the hours leading up to driving down to the Crocker––especially when they want you to draw live––but once everybody’s in the same room and you realize you’re all in this together, it kind of just becomes a roller-coaster ride for the eight or so minutes you have to do anything. I’m certainly not saying I’m a pro or an old hat at this, but it’s always good to have your anxiety put in check every now and then. I know I need it.

I was able to take a few pictures behind the scenes and of the very rough drawing I did of Supergirl.

Some behind the scenes photos from the shoot I did this morning with the good folks at @gooddaysac to promote tomorrow’s #crockercon it was so much fun and yet I’m still as awkward as ever when put on broadcast television. Be at the @crockerart museum tomorrow from 6-9:30pm for this amazing show (and pick up a free copy of the poster I designed for the event).

I’ve said it before, but this is probably my favorite event of the year and I can’t wait to see you there!
