Toronto Fan Expo 2008

I just returned home from the Toronto Fan Expo.

Some photos:

Bobby Chiu drawing a little sketch for me:

Colouring Comic Art with Adam Hughes:

Makeshift projection

(amazing) Colouring by Adam Hughes

Adam becoming a member of the 501st Legion ( . . . at least, I think that's what they were doing).

Hottest. Lara Croft. Ever.

Sketching Duel - J. Scott Campbell vs Ethan Van Sciver:

Creative Character Design with Marko Djurdjevic:

Marko is pretty badass and ridiculous. It's refreshing to hear someone in the concept art/comic book industry tell it like it is. A refreshing guy . . .and pretty damn intimidating.


Drawing Sexy Comic Book Women with J. Scott Campbell:

I loved watching Scott Campbell draw. He is also a very knowledgeable speaker. It's nice to know that, originally, he was inspired by Disney (and I think aspired to be an animator before being introduced to comics).

Overall,
great weekend.
