DescriptionOne of my favorite pieces and stories. At the Chicago con and after rounding on his tables waiting for “forever” the boss shows up! He had a long night and was just sitting down at the table to enjoy his lunch salad. I asked if he could do a commission for me and he was like “dude I’m eating”…I feel bad about this now but at the time in my excitement and trying to play with him I replied “man if you got time for a salad you got time for me”….to my amazement he put down the only thing he had eaten for the day and was like “what’s up what you want?” I was shocked…unprepared…I wanted Angelus but I didn’t know I needed to bring paper or anything. He grabbed some paper from another person at a table nearby, looked at me and said, “one condition, I’ll draw but the minute you walk away I stop”…thankfully I had a cooler to help carry things so I sat down at his table. Eric talked to me and other fans for the next four plus hours. Famous artists and comic names came and shook his hand while I got to listen to the small talk of my idols. An amazing day, however He didn’t finish the piece yet. Eric told me to come back the next day and same deal “you’re here and I’ll draw you’re not here I’m doing my own thing”. I was there the next day waiting and as promised he showed up and gave me a “what’s up boss” took out my commission and went back to work. Man the stories he told, the fans, he had a iPad or something with his art on screensaver while I watched him make this. I think he likely put 6-8 hours on this. Honestly I was so excited time completely escaped me. One of the best cons ever and one of my most treasured comic experiences.Social/Sharing |
