CON-tastic

I forgot to upload these a while ago and I just found them.
so here you go. A second wave of funny folks from Wondercon and San Diego.
The idea is that any two can be paired to create ironic conversations.

enjoy and please don't take too seriously if you resemble any of the characters.
the satire is done with love and quite a bit of personal reflection.

I started a series of character drawings based on some sketches and picture from the Con it's self. These were made with only love and respect for the people I saw and spoke to. The illustrations are design to be paired randomly for maximum irony. Here are the first two in the collection...

Valentines '09
