Fetish Art Paddles, Comic Show, and Web Comic News

What you’re looking at is one of the first paddle prototypes. It sold at the last Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Expo, and the buyer paid me extra to do artwork on the other side.

In short, the next comic show is coming, January 11th, at the Shrine Auditorium over by USC. I’ll be there. I have no idea what specials to come up with. At this point, I’m just showing up to hang out, draw, and put some art up for sale. I’ll present the completed paddle to him at the show. For details on the expo itself, go to www.comicbookscifi.com

I started with the image on the right first. and you may have seen it in previous posts. The image on the left is new. While I’m impressed at how the photos came out, this may be the last time I do the paddles like this. The media is colored pencil, in a technique that Sherry showed me. I’m still not sold on the look.

The buyer got a great deal, and my hope is that he’s also getting a true collector’s item.

By the way, on an unrelated note. If you’ve been following me on Twitter at @FetishArtist, you may have noticed my tweets about @GWS_Comic, aka GirlsWithSlingshots.com. It’s a comic about a writer, her friends, and their love lives. Which stayed off my radar despite being very popular with web comic artists like those at Questionable Content, Failure to Fire and Menage a 3. That is, until I found about about a character named Clarice, who is a Dominatrix who used to work in a porn shop. Obviously, it intrigued me, and I was hooked. Threaded through loads of story about dating, drinking, and more drinking is great humor about sex toys, Boobs!, and occasional strips on Female domination.

Unfortunately, Danielle Corsetto, the creator of the series, is winding it down for a while to relax and pursue further education in fine arts. I’m upset that just as I got into the comic, she’s going on sabbatical. On the other hand, there are over 1000 strips in her archives, and I’ve only made it through less than half of those. I highly recommend Girls With Slingshots to anyone kinky looking for a good laugh in the morning. Start from the beginning, and you’ll get hooked like me 🙂

Have a Happy New Year, and I’ll see you in 2015!
