Some WonderCon Pictures!

As usual...most of the time I either left my camera in my room or forgot that I had it in my pocket. But from time to time i would remember I had it and would get a picture here and there.

Here I am with my former boss, Jim Lee, at the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund booth.

It was great fun to run into Brian Haberlin, my former associate at Image Comics and TMP.

Also ran into another former associate, Steve Oliff.
We had a great conversation catching up on our respective careers
and mulling over old times.

Wow! David Laurence Wilson popped up too.
Dave's Readymade Rubber company was Beanworld's very first licensee.
I always liked those Beanworld rubber stamps.


Here I am with Terry Moore, a fellow veteran from self publishing days and Image Comics
I can't wait to see Terry's new book Echo.

Rory Root has been a Beanworld booster since we met at PetuniaCon in 1984.
It is impossible for me to go to Rory's Comic Relief convention store
and not see dozens of books I really want to read.
I was delighted to snag a copy of Mark Evanier's Kirby: King of the Comics book there.

BOTH Posters?

Ken's wrote: "Larry! My little brother was nice enough to pop by Wondercon today and pick up *both* posters. He didn't see you around, unfortunately.I can't wait to get my posters! SQUEE!"

And that prompted a response from anonymous that said: "Both posters? What "both" is that?"

Let me explain...

The top poster I created for Comic Book Legal Defense Fund in 2003. It was perhaps the only inked drawing I made that entire year. It's a contemplation of various ideas I've always had about possible Beanworld futures. It's not necessarily 100% accurate. But I think sharp-eyed Beanworld fans will be able to connect a few dots.

This poster is the one I drew last week for WonderCon. The edition was small--25 copies. There are still some left. CBLDF will be selling them in about 10 days after the stock gets back to their offices. I will post the details here as soon as I know them.

Tuesday's Tantalizing Teaser!

My view from behind the table.

Had a terrific time at Wondercon.
But I'm road weary and will have to wait to post in full tomorrow.
But here is the teaser for this Tuesday:
Believe it or not--after all these years,
a new Beanworld Action Figure presented itself to me this weekend.
And I happily welcomed it into the fold!

More news later.

Roarin' Rick's Road Bits!

My ol' pal, Rick Veitch sent me an e-mail this morning:

Larry,
I've posted one of my ROAD BITS on my blog this morning.
You have a starring role!

Rick Veitch's dream comics are some of my favorite reads of all time. If you aren't already a regular visitor to rickveitch.com--I can't recommend his site strongly enough.

I also make an appearance in Rick's Self Publisher piece on Boneville in a piece by Dave Sim and even one by me!

Today I'm going up north to WonderCon. I will post the details about the "Yoo-Hoo, Mr. Spook!?!" piece as soon as I know them.

Tuesday Tantalizing Teaser!

Yes.
It's a poster.

It will be on sale at the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund table
at WonderCon this coming weekend.

No, I'm not an official guest--so you didn't miss my name
on any of the convention announcements.

Yes, I will be signing and drawing at CBLDF's booth.
They will have a variety of Orphans and other things.

And I will be happy to discuss this drawing.

More details as they surface.
