Scott Pilgrim 5 Status:
I'm about to start drawing it.
Projected release:
December 2008
There's a Scott Pilgrim movie?
What drawing tools do I use? People always ask. Here are the answers. Best-Of: My Online Comics
Older drawings: I have an annotated archive of drawings from 2005 and earlier here. NOTE: I usually sell original artwork (the pages from Scott Pilgrim), but am currently unable to do so, due to my immigration status. |

Day 2: Con Exhaustion Sets In May. 12th, 2008 at 12:53 AM
Hope felt a bit sick today (for which there a multitude of reasons - travel, germy convention-goers, etc), so we took it relatively easy. I got a good night's rest and avoided "Con Sunday Syndrome", feeling bright and rested as I got to the show. But Hope felt ill, came for a few minutes and couldn't hack it. I only stayed a few hours and packed in early to nurse her back to health. I only bought one thing at this con: a GETTER 1 REVOLTECH robot toy. I am very stoked about it. I also had a chance to stop by Urban Outfitters and pick up a totally awesome Japanese Tony the Tiger Frosted Flakes t-shirt. Thanks to everyone who came out, and sorry to anyone who missed me late in the day after I'd left. Fortunately, it was a much slower crowd than yesterday, so I'm not too ashamed. Most of you got to me on Saturday. Con exhaustion has caught up to me, too. I feel half-dead, and we're waking up at the buttcrack of dawn tomorrow to sit in airports and on planes all day long. Emerald City - Wish you were here May. 11th, 2008 at 3:50 AM
Here's the only photo I took today, of my favourite con sketch from today. I am pretty tired. Hope and I hung out and had Indian with Jacob, Brandon G., Marion C. and Erik (Lars) Brown. One of those cartoonist evenings. Good times. The Seattle Hyatt is nicer than the Century City (Los Angeles) Hyatt. There, I said it. Reminder: Emerald City Comicon, Saturday-Sunday May. 10th, 2008 at 3:47 AM
Hope and I will be in Seattle tomorrow. We're coming up from Portland and we'll probably be a little late, in case you're planning to be first in line at the show. Wait patiently and we should be there around noon! Hope has: Gray Horseses, Salamander Dream(s), t-shirts, and one beautiful preview copy of Chiggers for you to ogle I have: books (at Oni), original art, posters, and new t-shirts! (first run, black only) We're sharing a table, somewhere. Reminder: Cosmic Monkey, Portland, Thursday May. 6th, 2008 at 7:33 PM
 We're heading to Portland tomorrow. Portlanders(?), don't forget to come to the Hope Larson and Bryan Lee O'Malley signing extravaganza! Thursday, May 8th 6-8 PM COSMIC MONKEY COMICS 5335 NE Sandy Blvd Portland OR www.cosmicmonkeycomics.com The back show May. 4th, 2008 at 5:45 PM
Just a brief note to say that I'm back home. We're going out to Portland in a few days, though, and Seattle on Saturday. See you there? Street Fighter Tribute - preorderable May. 4th, 2008 at 1:58 PM
Udon has put together STREET FIGHTER TRIBUTE, a book of Street Fighter art by many top illustrators from around the world, and some bottom illustrators such as myself. You can learn more and preorder the book here! Pictured: the cover. (Not drawn by me.) I can't show you my drawing just yet, but I think it's pretty cute, and I will hopefully have official posters of it available at the San Diego Comicon. EDIT: Oh hey, that page doesn't mention... this is a Special Edition of the book. A normal edition will be in stores in September for a normal price. (The special edition on the website and at conventions will be $80) blogging day 3 May. 3rd, 2008 at 3:49 AM
i am too tired to use the shift key for capitalization. also might skip some punctuation. AM: slept in a little (up until almost 4 AM due to late-night Iron Man screening) remembered about burgers - consulted Adam & Jared and decided to go to Apple Pan. bonus: it's right near the Hyatt. Apple Pan hickory burger and fries for breakfast. kept me full all day. no lie. 11 AM to 5 PM, i didn't even have a hunger pang. i usually need to have like 2 snacks in that period. 12-2 PM: went to Meltdown for comics. stuck in traffic for a while on the way. procured Dororo Vol 1, Ganges #2, and The Education of Hopey Glass spotted a Dick Blick's (on Beverly) and stopped in for some art stuff. not a wide range of art supply shops in Asheville. got a new triangle, a circle template thingy, cute japanese watercolor sketchbook, some pens for Hope. 2-3:30 PM: secret 3:30-5 PM: mostly stuck in traffic. came back to room, checked email, no time to blog, ran back out, stuck in traffic... 5-7 PM: meeting at Universal (see pic). topic: secret. i think this was my first Meeting with a capital M. strangely, it involved eating cake, and was pretty laid back. I don't think it was a "typical" meeting. 8-11 PM: farewell dinner - I'm heading home first thing tomorrow, and the Big Talk folks are trickling back to London over the weekend. special guests: secret. now: unable to support weight of giant head. flopping around like giant baby. may blog a bit tomorrow on my layover if i see anything interesting. photos here Day 2: The Blog May. 2nd, 2008 at 12:24 AM
Today I sat in a conference room on the Universal lot for six hours. Edgar took me through every page of all four Scott Pilgrims and asked me if every visual thing was a reference or homage, or if I made it up myself. Basically, I had some 'splainin' to do. See, in the movie business, they have to get clearance rights for all these little teeny things that nobody's too worried about me doing in the comic books. I guess there's a difference between a crappy black and white drawing of a brand name and a giant cinema-screen-sized moving photograph of a brand name. Afterwards, I cured my ills by lolling around my hotel bed for a while, then going to the mall and buying some manga and quasi-healthy fast food. The mall didn't have Tezuka's DORORO (vol 1 of which was just released). So sad. They did have copies of all four Scott Pilgrims, though, which was unusual. I wish I had stopped by Meltdown on my way back from Universal. Maybe tomorrow. If I can survive until midnight, I am going to see IRON MAN with some of the fellows. If I can survive to the end of IRON MAN, I will come back to my hotel room and sleep. Beautiful sleep. CIMG3853 May. 1st, 2008 at 6:49 PM
