I always feel "show shy" when it comes to doing commissions at comic cons. I'm fine sketching the day away in my studio, but for whatever reason, if someone asks me to do the same thing for money while I'm out at a con, I get all flustered. Which is silly, because when I actually do show sketches, they turn out just fine.
So, in an effort to end this nonsense, I decided that I was going to accept every commission that came my way in Chicago. The result of this experiment? Show sketches are slightly less scary now and I've discovered how incredibly fun Linsner's Dawn is to draw. Oh, and I now own a super cool handmade sketchbook.
I did two mini-sketches, one of which is pictured above. Somehow I don't have pictures of the other sketch- So if you're reading this, guy who makes tiny zebra print sketchbooks, EMAIL ME.
I have a feeling these Linsner ladies will be the first of many.
Also, for those of you who are curious:
The verdict on Chicago deep dish pizza - Meh.
Put enough melted cheese on a thing and I have to like it, but it's nothing special.
The verdict on Chicago-style hotdogs -
Weird looking, but surprisingly delicious.
You have to eat them quickly or they'll get soggy and fall to pieces.
