Phase Two- Sketchbook and Staple! Independent Media Expo March 7-8 2015

Wow, it's been a while, sorry everyone! Do people still use blogspot?

Anyways, how's everyone doing? I've been cooking up plans for "Phase Two" if I can steal a term from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It'll be my second year jumping into the convention scene and I've learned so much since Wizard World Austin 2013. Boy can I write an essay about what conventions to avoid, awful disrespectful experiences, and what cons are amazing for an artist like me, not so much as comic artist. Tangent: You know not many can afford to be "pro" comic artist these days, but I'm still a "pro" concept/vis dev artist who still creates artbooks/sketchbooks and original creator-owned stuff.

Anyways, there's a story behind that, but hey look Staple! Independent Media Expo is happening March 7-8 in Austin, TX! That'll be my first show this year and I'm so excited.

I'm bringing some new goodies to Staple as well. Not only will my artbook, "Coffee and Ramen" be there but I have my first saddle-stitched sketchbook "Chinscratches: A Sketchbook Vol. 1" debuting too! They'll be available first at Staple for purchase and later at the online store. 

  

I have some more amazing exciting announcements coming up soon before Staple. Stay tuned! Thanks team, this is going to be an amazing year! 

UPDATE: Coffee and Ramen: The Art of Kevin T. Chin book preview

It's been a while since I kicked off my Gofundme artbook campaign. The proof copy came in an I think it turned out great. I'm so excited! The books should be printing as we speak. Here are some preview pics. You can still get your copy pre-ordered through reward tiers on the Gofundme site. I'm only printing 100 of these, so far about 10 have been accounted for.

UPDATE: Copies can now be purchased on my store

Austin Comic Con 2013 Recap

Hello everyone! Last week was the Wizard World Austin comic con. I was fortunate enough to get a table at Artist Alley and shared space with my concept lead Dave Greco. I can safely say that I had a blast and learned a lot. I'm very excited for next year now and am starting the broad strokes planning for what I want to do with my personal art career. Here are some pics of sketchcards and sketch commissions I had at the con. Some of them I didn't even get to take a pic of before they sold! If anyone has that Spidey sketchcard hit me up! I wish I had taken more pics, especially of fans buying my prints and sketchcards. Expect next year to be bigger and better! Take care everyone, have a great weekend!

PS: Catch me on other social media, it would mean a lot to me!
