Blue Beetle: 1st Thursday with Kevin Maguire

Here's another piece from my personal collection. I picked this up from Kevin Maguire at the 2013 Baltimore Comic Con. Not as "bwahahahahahaha" as you might have imagined, almost contemplative, but still a beautiful piece of art!

Blue Beetle: 1st Thursday with Bill Walko

Hey Beetlemaniacs! Trick or Treat?

Treat? Alrighty then! Welcome to the first of what I hope to be a long running monthly segment we'll call "Blue Beetle: 1st Thursdays" 

As a former art major I'm well aware of the tradition most (if not all) art museums have of having special events and/or free admission on the first Thursday of each month. So, using my own collection of con sketches and commissions, as well as deviantART, I'll be presenting some of my favorite Blue Beetle art for your viewing pleasure!

If you love the Blue Beetle as much as I do, then you're going to go nuts for this piece Bill Walko (The Line Is Drawn, The Hero Business, and all around nice guy!) did for me at the Baltimore Comic Con!

Enjoy!

Baltimore Comic Con 2014 Cosplay Spectacular!

So, another Baltimore Comic Con has come and gone. I had a chance to catch up with friends, make some new ones, get some sketches (you'll be seeing those in a few upcoming posts) and get some comics. All in all great time!

And there was cosplay! So much cosplay! Here's just a sampling of what I saw...

"Once Upon a Time" cosplay, Regina the Evil Queen and Rumpelstiltskin

Never seen Mecha-Godzilla and Mothra done before!

Artist and cosplayer Zippertan be sure to check out her Facebook page

I love Labyrinth! And this gender swapped Jareth was awesome!

Black Dynamite...Dyno-mite! Dyno-mite!

These innocent looking folks do a web series, Gotham Underworld, check it out! 

By the way...this Joker was also the Rumpelstiltskin a few pics back!

A first for these two...Miguel & Tulio from "The Road to El Dorado"

I walked up to these 2 from "Gangs of New York" and said,"You boys are an awful long way from the 5 Points"...they were thrilled I got it! 

Oderus of GWAR

I love the girl doing a sexy Scooby...another first for me!

Gender swapped Blue Beetle! Yes!

Shaun and Ed, and gender swapped Shaun and Ed...they had some red on them, lol

Luchador Venom

It almost looks like Black Manta farted and Space Ghost smelled it...

Very cool Beetlejuice and Lydia

This gender swapped pair may have been my favorite of the weekend!
