Dark Corners

A few years ago now I made a Sammy spin-off story for Dark corners, it got reviewed HERE if you need a refresher.
Well I'm probably not going to reprint the story any time in the near future, so here's some panels from it.

Fleischer scans

Last week was the Create Comics workshop at CCS.

Here's some scans I used or were scanned but not used.

sketches

The beginning part of thumbnailing for me is always drawing in my sketchbook.
Some of the stuff makes it into the comic and some doesn't. Here's some examples from my sketchbook.

So I sat down and sold comics! I really like this museum.
It was the same day as the Gay Pride Parade. The town was full of energy and excitement.
There wasn't much of a cross over, but we had an okay crowd. Everyone in rainbows got into the museum free.
I Had a good time. They have a new permanent collection, a Berekley Breathed exhibit, a Green Lantern exhibit, and an Art of the movie Howl show.

I met a Museum student whose putting on her own Con in Berkley on July 10th, info about it HERE!

After the event I went to a Giants game with my Dad, we had a good time! All in all a good day!
