Every couple of moths or so there is a local
Comicbook/Sci-Fi convention in LA. I try to attend, if not only to hang out with my friends and eat lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant, which happens to be around the corner from the con. Well last Sunday a group of us went down to see if we could score any good deals. Also one of the Artist's who's blog I link on this here page, ERIC CANETE was there signing and doing sketches. I posted on his blog that I would stop by, so I did. Eric could not have been nicer. The guy was a true gentleman. Not only was he talking it up with his fans, he was doing sketches for FREE. He even missed out on the AvP 2 presentation so he could do a few sketches for folks (AvP 2 looked great by the way). He was nice enough to do this great Captain America sketch for me. I will be framing it and putting up on my wall.
I even offered to buy him lunch as a thank you, but he graciously declined. What a nice guy. This guy is a tremendous talent and it was great to chat with him and watch him work. As he's based in Los Angeles, I hope to bring him on to do some freelance concept work sometime in the future. Maybe he'll let me pick him up lunch then. If you've got some time, check out his
blog. He's got some great art.

That's fantastic. What a combination: impeccable draughtsman and perfect gentleman.
Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for linking me up from your blog. I didn't win (as you probably know), but I got a lot further than I thought I would, and that's largely down to people yourself. So thanks a lot!
