Happy Hump Day everyone!

I want to thank everyone who stopped by the Amano table this weekend at the 2009 Emerald City Comic Con. I had a lot of fun, in fact, I’d say its been a long time since I’ve been to such a great show. All the artists and guests were amazing! I was fortunate enough to meet one of my fav artists at the show, Playboy cartoonist Doug Sneyd (www.dougsneyd.com):

Doug was personalizing copies of this latest book “Unpublished” to all the fans out there. I was honored to get a Bettie Page sketch in my copy. Score!

Saturday I was pretty busy trying to get everyone’s sketches completed before the close of the show. Here’s a couple of them:

Hula girls are sexy!

Black Widow boobies galore!

Conventions are always love/hate for me. I love meeting interesting people, talented artists and tormenting the furries but just when you get in the groove of things, its over. All good things must end it seems. Or just be patient until the next show!

I’ve been pluggin away on commissions. In fact I’ll share one I just finished in time for the show this weekend:

Pale boobies.

I try to post new work when I can. Alot of the pieces I do are private tho, so no soup for you. I have also been focusing on my side project, a full color book. I’m shooting for next year to wrap it up. Its alot of work, but I’m confident that when its done it will snock your sockmonkeys off.

Speaking of sockmonkeys… Spicey stayed at home this weekend. He wasn’t happy about that. So I thought I’d make it up to him by getting him a Carla Gugino Silk Spectre doll:

Don’t let the book fool you this sockmonkey only looks at the pictures.

Well, that’s all for now. I want to dedicate this Hump Day to pinup girlie extraordinaire Miss Jeannie (www.pinuplifestyle.com/profile/MissJeannie) for hanging with me at the show this weekend:

Westside! Yea, totally gangsta!

Ok kiddies, that’s all for now. I’m wrapping up drawing and watching a little Ratatouille on DVD… then its bed time for this rum runner.

Peace, love and rum,

P.S.
Ratatouille promised to help with next week’s update, so stay tuned!
