 This is the only day I went to dump off free shit and meet up with some people I know and some people dressed in Furry costumes that I’d love to get to know. I had no intention of being seen on the video so I said the worst shit that came into my mind to deter Corey from including it in the video. Sadly his editing skills are not up to snuff and he had to leave me in the damn thing, or he thought the garbage spewing out of my mouth was enough to entertain you peoples. Also Corey decided to write my name backwards and I shall from this day forth be known as Amador Noir. Get used to it, I will answer to nothing else.

Check out Mr. Bernhardts work by clicking here: http://cbernhardt.blogspot.com/ then tell him to update the link for my site on his blog. some people. sheesh.

I’m gonna throw up the pages I drew for the Wondercon free sketchbook soon. If you got a copy of the book and are looking at the site for the first time, I’m sorry ot have let you down twice.  If you read through the book there’s an offer for you to be let down yet again with a free copy of one of my comic books. just drop me a line in the comment section or at allstarkrew (at) hotmail dot com. or you can go here if you wanna throw your money down the toilet and buy some junk from me. http://www.etsy.com/shop/Allstarkrew

Today I will be at Wondercon in San Francisco all day. Who needs Easter when you can hang out in shitty weather with comic book nerds right? If you gonna be there make sure to stop by the FREE table and pick up one of my free books.  It’s terribly constructed and not worth the price of admission to read it, but then again it is completely free, and it’s the only time you’ll ever get this book. There will also be leftover copies of last years sketchbook that, god willing, I will never have to see again after this day.

Here’s the line work to the cover of the free book, which I wanted to call “It’s Fuck time at the Shit Party Dickhead.” But I opted to make the whole thing PG 13 to avoid run ins with parents. Now check out my homie Coreys video diary of the first day of Wondercon 2010. You think you know, but you have no idea—this is the True Life—

EGAD! 31 pages?!!?! This is by fat the longest book I’ve ever drawn. It’s a whole nother ball game than drawing a few pages, a 3 panel strip or even a single page comic. I know they’re all in the same ballpark, but it just takes so much more to draw 31 pages and put em up every day. It’s looking like the book may be well over 50 by the time all is said and done. Even looking over the old pages I’m starting to see all the warts, poc marks and scabs that make me cringe. It takes more self control not to go back and fix everything I hate than it does to draw the whole fuckin book. But I guess you just gotta let it ride at some point and not keep tinkering things to the point of insanity.

I was in Sacramentos 2nd Saturday art show with a few of the people from the Drink & Draw (which is tonight at 8pm at the Fox & Goose downtown BTW). Here’s a bunch of photos form the little show. It was interesting to say the least.

These are some of my buddy Rods work at the show.

Here’s my little corner. Right next to the mens room. Score one for me and prime fuckin real estate.

Here’s the piece I’d been working on for the last 8 or so months, I’ll post some more flicks of the whole thing soon.

A couples of smaller pieces I busted out.

These are both older, but they seemed to go over ok at the show. People stood and looked at the three drawings like this for at least 20 mins. It was pretty cool that people were taking the time to look at stuff.

My friend Corey rocked this piece for t he show. It’s pretty massive and turned out dope.

Along with some of his pencil drawings that he had framed for the event.

Page 18 is nothing special, nothing new, sort of borrowed and mos def not blue. I have had a few pop culture references so far in this book, you may or may have not caught them. The store cashier in the first few pages, Pepe Silva is a reference to one of the best TV shows ever “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”

Pure comic genius. There’s been a few others but I’ll let you figure it out. This one on Page 18, blatant.

I’ve also recently been invited to participate in a group art show with a few other local artists on July 11th as part of Sacramentos 2nd Saturday Art Walk. We’ll be at the Blue Lamp I believe…more info as I figure it out…but I’ll post up this peeze I’ve been working on daily as I make progress. It’s fuckin massive for me at 14×11 and there’s a shit load of little details in it. Click on the pic below and you can check out the peez as a whole.
