I’m finally back from LA . The Secret Meetings went well, but like many of these things, I won’t know more until later. As much as I’d love to have that “I like the cut of your jib, son, let’s do this deal”, that’s not the way these things work. I even got some good [...]
Right before I left for Mid-Ohio-Con, I got a call from Mark Goodman at the Ft. Worth Weekly asking if I could bang out a cover. I had the show to do, and Thanksgiving events and all sorts of other things, so I said "Sure." I love working for Mark, and the cover was a [...]
Other than the aforementioned lunchbox incident, Mid-Ohio-Con lived up to my billing as (say it with me now) my favorite comic convention. Let me give you some random hits of the goodness that was MOC 2007. MOC07 was my girlfriend’s first real comic convention. We did the Licensing Show in New York last May, and [...]
Mid-Ohio-Con was another phenomenal weekend. I got to see a bunch of my friends, my girlfriend experienced her first real con, I met some great people, and I sold really well… …and you can hear the "but" coming, can’t you? There was one thing that happened that soured an otherwise great weekend. It’s no one’s [...]
Things may get a little quiet here for a bit. I’m off on another Secret Mission to Los Angeles. I can’t say much about it, except that it’s definitely not me crossing the picket line to write an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. If, once the strike is settled, Shonda Rhimes wants to give me a [...]
I’m at Mid-Ohio-Con, even as you read this. This post is being made by the Thom-o-Tron 3000, a super-intellegent artifical intellegence that simulates all the wit and style of the actual Thom Zahler. Or, I just timed this post to appear on Saturday. I don’t like flooding the zone with my posts, and especially with [...]
If I’m going to keep doing these pieces, I want to make sure I change things up every now and then. This Catwoman illo is done in Adobe Illustrator, which allows me to do mathmatically perfectly curves. I figured that would be a nice effect for capturing Selina Kyle’s sleek and sexy look. As for [...]
I think I’m drawing characters from my childhood. Supergirl at one point had as many different costumes as the Wasp did. She started out in a kind of ice skater’s minidress and then went though a bunch of variations. The 80′s headband look was particuarly, well, 80′s. I think the movie uniform from the otherwise-forgettable [...]
Love and Capes #6 is in stores now! It’s pretty darn cool, if I do say so myself. And, since it’s in stores, it’s in the LNC Store. If your comic shop doesn’t carry it, or if a throng of rabid fans have bought all of them, then you’ve got a way to get your [...]
Some of you may remember the infamous 2004 Mid-Ohio-Con, also known as "Thom Gets Kicked in the Teeth a Lot." One of the big issues was the program books, which never arrived. (Brown, What Can We Do To You?) Fortunately, with new printers and new procedures, the program books haven’t been an issue this year, [...]
