Saturday, May 1 was Free Comic Book Day.  For the third year in a row, I was invited to be one of the guest artists at the Silver Snail, drawing sketches for the crowd.

Star Wars is always a popular theme.

And this year Star Trek started to catch up in popularity.

.

This was the one I was asked to draw by David and Satro, of Count Dracula and Robin from Batman eating spaghetti like the famous scene from Lady and the Tramp. The Ninja Turtle sort of elbowed his way in without anyone really catching what had happened until it had already happened.

Princess Leia Lady Gaga.

I was asked for Princess Leia as Lady Gaga.  I have her part Episode Four with the hair, the rest Jabba’s slave girl for a performance of Telephone.

.

This one was really simple. I asked what the dude wanted a drawing of, and he said “Cars”. “As in the Pixar movie?”, says I. “Just… cars.”, he says.

.

This guy went down the row and asked every artist to do something with Ninja Turtles.

.

This one I did just to Tweet it from the table.

.

Late in the day, I ran right through tired and into delirious. And that’s when I was asked for “Catwoman”. Yes, that is a hook for a hand. And a pizza cutter for an other hand.

.

Spock’s second appearance of the day. Sometime between then and now he’s won himself a wrestling championship.

.

And then to finish the day off with a sandwich called The Big Ham. It wasn’t that big.
