Something I drew today at a drawing event at Isotope Comic Lounge in San Francisco: #isotopecomics #sanfrancisco #ekimtiki

Day 8 of my #comicbook room and #comicart tour, and we come to the wonderful #TimSale, who passed away earlier this year. This #sketch of #Batman is amazing in its simplicity -- it was drawn in less than 15 strokes of the pen, by my count. I met Tim at an in-store event at #IsotopeComics in 2008. He'll be missed.

Day 5 of my #comicbook room and #comicart tour, and one of my favorite stories about getting a sketch. This vampire was sketched FOR FREE by #BenTemplesmith during a really busy in-store at #IsotopeComics in 2008. NOTICE THE SMUDGE in the middle of the head. He finished and accidentally got his thumbprint on the middle of the sketch, frowned, apologized profusely to me and offered to do a new one. I, of course, refused. Templesmith is one of the nicest comic guys I've ever met.
