Candide: The Live Comics Adaptation.

Occasionally, the awesome folks at the Portland Opera invite a bunch of cartoonists (incl. yrs. truly) to come watch dress rehearsals and sketch whatever we want.

On Monday, the Opera invited us to the dress rehearsal of "Candide." (Everyone's Twitter posts from the evening are collected here and at #pdxcandide. The Opera is rounding up everyone's drawings here.) As usual, I speed-drew a "live comics adaptation" of the show, during the show. When the lights came up, I put down my pen.

The resulting comic is after the jump.

Con Sketches of the Sabertooth Vampire.

So over the last month and change I signed books at Emerald City Comicon (thanks for the table space, PDX Browncoats!) and the Stumptown Comics Fest. After the jump: some of the sketches folks asked me to draw, in person and via Twitter. Click on any image to enlarge.

Tabling at the Stumptown Comics Fest this weekend.

Oh, right -- I'll be at the Stumptown Comics Fest this weekend. Table C-11, next to my pal Bill Mudron. Planned for my table this year:

• Free sketches for all and sundry
• Both "Sabertooth Vampire" books
• "Cort and Fatboy and the Secret of the Buried Unicorns"
• FREE ashcans of "Jaxxon's 11" Vol. 1 and "Opera, Drawn Quickly" (while supples last)
• A handful of posters and prints

Full details on the Fest are here.

Serenity Tales: 'Take My Love'

A "Firefly" webcomic Mark Bourne, Bill Mudron and I made back in 2010 to help Dark Horse promote its new "Serenity" comics. Backstory here. Click images to enlarge.

(You can find more of this sort of thing at www.SerenityTales.com, by the way.)
