i've recovered

[listening to christmas music. yes, already.]



so either i'm getting old or new york comic con was just more hype than ever before this year. today i finally feel like i've recovered from that awesomeness that was NYCC. i've caught up to a bunch of stuff that was looming over and i'm ready to take on new tasks, despite this cold that i just got yesterday. no worries, it's not the con flu so i'll get over it soon.

i've finally gotten all the pics from both Baltimore Con and NYCC off my phone and working to post them online. so without further delay, i'm sharing a few of my favorite commissions from this past Baltimore Con. these were all done with a combination of colored pencils, copic markers & pens, and sometimes a brush pen.

this was the first time i've ever had my very own table at a con and i was really nervous to see if i do well without my studiomates. add that to the fact that, because we decided to attend the show so late, my table was far from the hubby - i was a nervous wreck. BUT i was so pleasantly surprised at how well people responded to my work. there's no greater feeling than to hear people appreciate your work for what it is. i wish i could show everyone just how much i appreciate the support, but it's difficult to describe. just know that i really really really appreciate it guys. i will not disappoint you, i'll try to keep things interesting. =D

if you want to see ALL the pics from this con, head over to the ID STUDIOS FACEBOOK PAGE and give us a LIKE while ur there. OR u can follow this link -

nycc 15

[listening to "faint" by linkin park]


it's been quite the 2 weeks since Baltimore Con. i turned 35 (!!!), i've barely had time to participate in #Inktober, and the hubby bought me a subscription to Schoolism that i haven't even been able to get into yet! then i turn around and New York Comic Con is basically tomorrow. still, i managed to squeeze in one new premium print and got my Star Wars limited-edition lithograph of Princess Leia from Acme Archives Direct called "Imprisoned." come and find me at TABLE N15! my hubby Jerry "theFranchize" Gaylord will be at TABLE N14 and my other studiomate Bryan "Flash" Turner will be at TABLE N13! it's gonna be a great row.

Supers Coffee Break
all available premium prints

the premium prints did better than i expected at Baltimore so i'm super excited to bring them to NYCC. my newest print - Supers Coffee Break - is a digitally colored version of the drawing i'm donating to the NYCC Charity Auction. my premium prints are just $5 more than my regular prints but they're on heavier textured paper and they make my work look kinda dope if i do say so mahself.  they are all 11x17, just like my other large prints.

my Star Wars lithos arrived just today and Leia looks so sensational all printed up! the lithos are 16x20 and comes with a certificate of authenticity to prove that it is, indeed, an officially licensed product. i will sign each one sold. i only have 9 of these available so be sure to come by the table and snag yours. after these are gone, i will have no more at all. you can also get them online if you're unable to come to any cons that i'll be in. just go to DarkInkArt.com or follow this link - http://www.darkinkart.com/star-wars/imprisoned-penelope-gaylord.html. my first official Star Wars print - squeeee!
