A grumpy man with gray hair and a beard sits at a desk, glaring at a computer screen with one fist on the table. A nearly empty bottle sits nearby. A thought bubble above his head reads, “No amount of coffee is going to make me like you internet people.” The comic is drawn in a muted color style with a simple background.

Trying to go digital

Posted on September 16, 2021 by Scott
So I finally upgraded my android tablet and bought a much better stylus. I’m making a stab at doing some more digital art and I think the stylus is the trick for me. I never got the hang of the Wacom drawing pad where you look at the screen but draw on the pad. I’m going to do a few “paint over” style posts where I find an old sketch load it on the tablet and draw over the top of it. Here’s one from a drawing I did in the 80’s.Read More

MSP SpringCon 2020 Cancelled

Posted on April 8, 2020 by Scott
Some few of you know how much I love Springcon. Unfortunately it was cancelled this year and we will need to find a different Con to hang out at.
From the press release:
—
To all of our friends and supporters,
With concern for the safety and health of all our participating and attending fans, we are canceling MSP SpringCon 2020.
We strive to host the best family-friendly and safe comic book shows for our friends and fellow comic fans. After carefully considering the implications of the Coronavirus outbreak and the time it will take us to get through it, as well as the possible impact that a premature public gathering could have on our healthcare system and the health of our creator, dealer, exhibitor, and attendee families, we feel that it is best for all considered to exercise caution given the current situation. All ticket pre-sales and vendor payments will be refunded or returned in full over the next week.
Once the existing ban on social gatherings is over, we will begin planning our fall event, and look forward to seeing all of you in October for MSP FallCon 2020!
We wish all of our SpringCon family safety and good health.
Sincerely,
The Midwest Comic Book Fans.
