Hello everyone!
Sorry, it's been a while since I've regularly updated the journal here. I've been busy getting ready for the convention. Just a heads up for everyone, here is this week's events!
TODAY (Sunday, May 16) 3PM - Merlyn's Comics and Games, W 19 Main, Spokane, WA
Meeting for the Comic Smiths Guild members. We will be talking about future events through the summer, and most importantly the Spokane ComiCon this Saturday.
Monday, May 17th - Spokane Community College Student Sketch Day, 1810 North Greene Street
Several of us guild members will be sketching from 11am until 2pm in the SCC Lair.
Saturday, May 22nd - Spokane ComiCon 2010 at SCC, 1810 North Greene Street
This is the big one for Spokane. The Guild will have a couple tables at the convention, stop and say hi. We will have art and comics up for sale! Lots of goodies, exclusive prints, and we will be doing sketch cards as well as larger commissions. Link to Spokane ComiCon's website: [link]
In preparation for the con, I have a painting I am painting specifically to sell at the con, friends who have seen it already want to buy it, or something similar. I should be finished tonight with it, I'll be posting it online here. I'm excited for that. Once the painting is done, I'll be jumping back on sketch cards. At Emerald City, sketch cards sold like hot cakes. I'll be knocking out a whole new collection of them. Please stop and say hi to the Comic Smiths Guild, we'd love to see you!

Free Comic Book Day (Lightning Comics) Wrap-up by Matt Nelson!
First of all, big shout out to Tim at Lightning Comics. He made the day a truly enjoyable experience for all, including really good chairs for all the artists. I didn't get numb-butt the whole time I was there. Then he brought COFFEE (insert heavenly chorus here). He also provided lunch for the guys.
From left to right, artists' perspective, we had Mighty Inker Levi Skeen, Mike "The Native American Ninja" Lail, me, Peter "Fight City" Foglesong, and newcomer (to our circle of nerds, anyway) Josh "Seriously, why isn't this guy drawing a book? I'd buy it" Covey.
Great times were had by all, I think, and it was busy from the get-go. We barely had time to breathe. It was nice to do a wide variety of sketches this time, as opposed to the first FCBD event I did, which was about 95% Star Wars characters. Not that I mind drawing Yoda, but it gets a little old.
Afterward we all browsed the comic freebies and exchanged various methods of contact, and then it was another Job Well Done, Lads, and drove home. Man I was exhausted though.
Can't wait for the next big event, which of course is the Spokane Comicon! Only five Washingtons gets you in the door for a conglomeration of geek awesome! Seriously, how can you say no? Take the kids and spend all the rest of that extra cash that you would have spent on an hour-and-a-half of forgettable 3D viewing on some things that'll create lasting memories. And help pay my bills. Ah-ha.
