New York Con Sketch-Splosion!

so 10 of the 15 sketches i did at NYCC have been sent in, and here they are! i'd like to thank everyone who came out, and i'd especially like to thank everyone who sent back pics!





















larger views are available in the Convention Sketches Gallery.

Everyone else who hasn't sent theirs back to me, i'd love to get them, and rememeber the cleaner more high-res scan you can get me, the more likely i am to include it in my art book!

New York ComiCon signing schedule.



So here are the down-and-dirty details of where you can find me throughout the duration of the New York Comic Con 2008.

my booth will be Booth #1569, which will be right across from Neal Adams!

Also, i will be signing at the following times:
Friday
7-8PM: DC Comics/ Vertigo

Saturday
11AM-Noon: Dark Horse Comics
4-5PM: with Claudio Sanchez @ Autograph Area Table #6

Sunday
4-5PM: DC Comics/ Vertigo

otherwise, i'll likely be at my booth, #1569, doing commissions.
they'll be $100 each and I'll only be able to do a handful every day, so if you want in on one, get there early! But to keep it fair, i'll start the list fresh every day, so if you miss your chance one day, you could catch it the next.

See you there!

Help Wanted: New York Comic Con

Hey, gang. As most of you know, we'll be attending the New York Comic Con this year for the very first time. Kara and I are planning big, as it will be the biggest show for us this year.

So, here is where you come in. We are looking to hire one or possibly two workers to help us at the convention. The work is light and short (2-3 hours a day at most), plus you can earn some extra cash for the show! If you are interested, please fill out the questions below and email them to Kara at Artsales@tonymooreillustration.com

1. Please tell us a little about yourself and why you want to work for us.

2. What are some of your favorite comics?

3. How long will you be at the show each day?

4. Have you ever been to a comic convention before, and if so, how many?

5. Have you ever worked at a comic convention before, and if so, for whom?

6. Please tell us anything else you think would qualify you for this position.

Thanks!
