Big Wow Art will again be attending the San Diego Comic-Con. This year, we will be located in booths 4405, 4407, 4504 and 4506. Featured attendees at the booth include: Travis Charest (with the debut of his new book, Space Girl, if it arrives in time), Ernie Chan (with his new sketchbook, Bare Beauties), Doug Sneyd, Dan Brereton, Michael Bair, Ted McKeever, Linda Tran and Justin Murray. VEI Studios (with Mr. Modok, Kasra Ghanbari) is also sharing the space with us as well.
A big thanks to Alberto Ruiz for the help in setting up this blog. Now the hard part -- for me to learn how to use it fully and to keep posting. :)
Once San Diego is done, more news on Super-Con 2009 in San Jose, California, on May 16/17, 2009. Some old and a number of great new guests to be announced. Stay tuned and thanks for checking out this blog. Best, Steve Morger.

2008 Super-Con Inking Panel - Adam Hughes
As we did last year, Super-Con (May 17/18 in San Jose, CA) will again be featuring an inking panel where numerous artists will be inking or painting over blue lines of pencil pieces provided by some of our guests.
This year will feature pencil art by Adam Hughes, Michael Golden and Ernie Chan. Each of the finished pieces will be auctioned at the show and absentee bidding will be available. The genesis of the inking panel came about from my friendship with a number of inkers -- Mike Bair, Buzz, Ernie Chan, Tony DeZuniga, and the list goes on -- and the ability to see each of them work. Given that each of the artists has their own distinct look, I thought it would be fun to see how different pieces would look with the same starting point. Frank Cho was nice enough last year to provide the base image and away we went.
The reaction was very good and many have volunteered to try their hand at this year's selections. As you can see, one image generates a myriad of different end products. As fortune would have have it, Bob Almond (another accomplished inker) had a similar idea of recognizing the contributions of inkers but on a much larger scale. Along with a number of other talented individuals, the Inkwell Awards were born. If you find the entries in this gallery of interest, I would strongly encourage you to check out and participate with the Inkwells. Go to www.inkwellawards.com and let the fun continue!
There are 8 Pieces of Art In This Gallery.
