HEROESCON 2011 :: Project: Rooftop Redesign for CBLDF
Not only did our friends from Project: Rooftop host an excellent panel while visiting HeroesCon this year, they were also asked by the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund to redesign Lady Liberty. Check out this video documenting the fun! Thanks to the folks at Project: Rooftop and the CBLDF for helping make HeroesCon 2011 such a great event!
CHECK IT OUT :: MARCUS HAMILTON ON CHARLOTTE TODAY
Dennis the Menace cartoonist and Charlotte native Marcus Hamilton made an appearance on Charlotte Today this morning to promote the new Dennis the Menace stamp. Last month the US Postal Service released five stamps commemorating some of the best Sunday Funnies. They weren’t able to talk about the stamp but for a brief mention because they were too busy discussing Hamilton’s work and process. Hamilton has been doing the Monday through Saturday daily Dennis the Menance strip since 1994. It was fascinating getting to learn how he got the job and how he was trained. And he gave a mention to another Charlotte cartoonist Jim Scancarelli who does Gasoline Alley. It is a really interesting interview and I hope you take the time to watch it!
My family and I have been big fans of Hamilton for a long, long time now. When I was a young child Hamilton spent some time with my family taking photo references for some illustrations. The following ad is for the Children’s Home Fund Organization and it features my brother and me. You can’t tell it is me because my back is facing the audience but I know it is me and that’s all that matters. My dad has a Dennis hanging up in his living room that was done for him when he was running for Mint Hill Town Commissioner. And Adam and I won the Dennis the Menace piece at the Art Auction at this year’s HeroesCon. I am really happy to see Hamilton get recognition for his hard work!
