Free State FreeCon 2007

Saturday, September 15

There's no better way to start the day than to go to a comic book convention. That was my Saturday where the girlfriend and I traveled to Lawrence for the Free State FreeCon. There were plenty of comic artists and writers there on hand for me to pimp my drawmein campaign. I meet and handed out flyers to Josh Howard, Kevin Mellon, Jason Aaron, Jeremy Haun, and the highlight of the trip... Freddie Williams II.

Freddie was the last person to "draw me in" and had gone above and beyond by giving me both a speaking role and put me in over ten panels in six pages. The two of us talked to him and his wife for quite a long while. Upon seeing me, even before getting to his table, he set aside a copy of the book I was in.... FOR ME TO SIGN! That was awesome! He signed a few copies for me, did a sketch, I bought a pic he did for Rachael, and got a photo taken with him. Freddie Williams II has definetly made this fanboy a fan for life.

One thing I noticed however was this, a lot of these guys are going to have future projects with DC, that they couldn't announce yet. So I'm looking forward to reading about that news.

Below are sketches and pics I got from Saturday. Enjoy!

Here I am with Josh Howard and a cool Supergirl sketch he did.


Thirteen Steps artist Kevin Mellon was cool.

Here I am with writer Jason Aaron. I can't believe how fast he's gained in high profiled projects.

Finally, here I am with Freddie Williams II. Below is a Martian Manhunter sketch and that Superman sketch he did.
