I wanted to whip this up as a big "thank you" to everyone that picked up the My Little Pony comic from IDW today. 100,000+ orders strong, this is the biggest project I've ever gotten the chance to work on.... and so far I am humbled by the overwhelming positive response.
Also, I wanted to remind everypony that I can still draw... not just write.
Are you in the Chicago area?
Well, if you are, I'll be there December 14th!
One of my favorite places, Challengers Comics and Conversation (http://www.challengerscomics.com) is having an entire gallery show based around everyone's favorite thing that I do... my mini paintings! Teeny watercolor paintings of heroes, animals, food... whatever strikes my fancy!
There will be hundreds and hundreds of mini paintings up for sale, a HUGE exclusive print, my regular ol' prints, books and more! I also plan to be doing some paintings while I'm there. :) I can also sign copies of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" from IDW.
the NEXT day, I will be at Aw Yeah Comics for a signing/appearance... I'll post more about that later!
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #1 from IDW is out in just a few weeks….
Andy Price and I will BOTH be at Beach Ball comics in Anaheim, CA on December 1st! The store is throwing a launch party for the first book and Andy and I will BOTH be there to sign books, do sketches, talk ponies… whatever!
Where: Beach Ball Comics
When: Saturday December 1st
Time: 1:00 PM
This book has already sold OVER 90,000 copies... Making it one of the best-selling comics right now. Andy and I (and our editor, Bobby!) have put a LOT of love into this first 4 issue story arc. We really can't wait for you to read it.
There's a Facebook even page here:

I did a quick variant cover for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #1!
(I did three interlocking covers for issue 2... but for issue 1, I only did this piece. Be thankful, there's so many variants for issue 1 that even I can't keep track of them all!)
I wanted to do something simple, fun and related to the story (it's a known fact now that the Changeling Queen, Queen Chrysalis, is the main baddy in my 4 issue story arc).
It's funny… because I really wanted to use Derpy (can I officially call her that? I don't know…. but I LOVE the name and I think she's the cutest widdle pony there is… I love her crossed-eyes. She's charming as all heck) I originally put Rarity in the chrysalis, but then I threw in Dr. Whooves/Time Turner because I like to make fun of Dr. Who and I figured she'd be a TERRIBLE companion.... turns out everyone else already had that idea! HA! Bronies 1, Katie 0.
