I know. I know. And I don’t even want to hear about it either. I haven’t updated the blog, I haven’t called, I haven’t been around blah blah blah. Well guess what? You’re not the center of the universe ok? I am! So if I don’t feel like posting, I’m not going to post. Get it?
Oh God. Where are you going?
Look I’m sorry I really am. I’ve uh….been drinking a lot lately. Yeah that’s it I’ve been…Dammit. You’re not buying that. Ok how about this then? I’m really lazy.
Wow you believed that a lot quicker than I hoped you would. Well…ummm….ok then. But either way I’m back now so let’s just live in the moment shall we?
The purpose of this post is to whore out my friends instead of myself for once. See I’m a giver not a taker. It’s just the way I am. I’m being so sweet right now you would get a cavity from just looking at me.
So what has brought on this need for me to promote those other than myself? Why Heroes Con 2010 of course. You see I really didn’t think that I was going to make it to the con this year but I ended up being able to after all. Although I was totally not ready for it, I still had an absolute blast. I’m not going to rehash some of the con stories from my Deviantart blog entry.
Instead I’m just going to focus on the artists I met there who maybe lucky enough to call me a friend. And who knows maybe in time I may even allow them to call me by my first name instead of Mr. McLellan. Again I just can’t help myself…I’m a giver.
Now without further delay, below is a short list of five artists from this year’s con that I think you should follow and quite frankly worship.
The Great Loston Wallce. Loston is one of the most talented artist I have ever met. Loston not only has the ability to draw in multiple styles. but is also a hell of a teacher who doesn’t mind sharing his knowledge. Loston has worked for both DC and Marvel comics and is rumored to be able to bend spoons with his mind. Pretty incredible.

Clever Jeremy Dale who has an incredibly clean and polished style breathes life into his creations. Jeremy’s style is in the same vain as the late great Mike “Ringo” Wieringo but still uniquely his own. Jeremy is one to keep your eye own because his talents will not be ignored for long. Jeremy and his lovely wife Kelly (who is a pretty mean inker) are a dynamic duo of sorts and can be found kicking ass and taking names at most cons.

Sassy Danielle Soloud. Obviously Danielle is a great artist (she wouldn’t be on my this list if she wasn’t) but in my opinion Danielle’s greatest talent lies in her ability to inject a little of herself into her art. Danielle is an instantly likeable person and this bleeds into her art. Her characters possess a charm and quirkiness, which pulls the viewer into their world. Danielle has definitely found a nitch with her lively versions of popular characters but her own weekly webcomic “Life with Death” is where she really shines.

Workhorse Bryan Fowler is probably the most dedicated artist I’ve even known. Bryan loves the technique and the craft of creating artwork, he loves getting his hands dirty and is a sponge ready to absorb all that he can methods and techniques. Bryan’s persistence and voracious appetitite for understanding artistic processes and theories has made him a well-rounded artist set on the path of success.

True Original Henry Eudy is truly a free thinking, honest and funny artist whose style transports the viewer into another time and place. Henry’s art is unapologetic and transcends labels. He is indie without being pretentious, he is a social commentator without being preachy, he has an offbeat style that you can identify with, in short Henry is a indie artist whose humor is sure to win you over.

Ok folks that is my list of artists from this year’s Heroes convention 2010 that I think you should follow and worship. Each brings something unique to the table, yet I’m sure you will find that you will love each and everyone.
Or else.
