San
Diego art pick-ups
Eric Powell's the Goon
Thought
I'd follow up my San Diego Comic-Con movie post
with some of my art pick-ups. This year as last,
I snagged an Eric Powell Goon page.
Eric's changed his style a bit since last year, but he's as popular
as ever.
I
noticed a lot more Goon t-shirts this year. While standing at his table
this year, two guys form Comedy Central's Reno 911 fawned over his stuff.
I asked him about a movie version of his property and he said that Dark
Horse has been approached from a couple of studios. nothing firm yet,
but he's excited by the possibility. Despite the newfound noteriety,
Eric's super-grounded and friendly to all who approach.
Not
a lot of Spidey art this year, but I did get a couple of Spider-man
related sketches. First, this Mary Jane Watson sketch from Cliff Chiang:
Then
an MJ sketch from Cameron Stewart:
Not a bad
bunch of pieces. Had a good time again this year in San Diego.
Next post,
I'll try to play a little catch up on the Karl Rove meltdown.
