Another Con sketch!

One of the most hotly-anticipated guests at this year's Toronto Trek was to have been Katee Sackhoff, who plays Starbuck on the much-worshipped Battlestar: Galatica. Unfortunately, she cancelled- the leaflet hastily added to the programme noted that she had been informed of a contractual obligation to appear at the San Diego Comic Con that very ( Read more... )

Very cool.

I really like your style, very clear who you're drawing, but done with such few strokes. Very cool

Well, thank you! That's a heavy compliment, too- the fewest strokes possible to get the point across is a skill most artists aspire to... and not just because we're lazy sods or anything.

Definitely planning to go next year- the guests are already announced to be Amber Benson and Michael Shanks, both of whom are pretty, pretty people!

One of *the* most popular guests this year was Rene Auberjonois (sp?), who was said to be very witty and urbane during his Q & A's; I was off a-panelling at the time, though.

And man, I would *love* to go as a group! One gracious friend came with me, and I met (and then perambulated with) sunnyd_lite; I can see how more would definitely be merrier!

Lovely. If she looks half as good as this drawing, she looks damn good. LOL

I'm so glad you're posting these.

She *does* look damn good, all healthy and relaxed and just glowing, really. Marriage and motherhood clearly agrees with her. And she was as gracious as could be, especially considering she was a last-minute replacement guest!

Absolutely love the style. Almost like a caricature, but without the big head. *gr*

Thanks! And funny you should say that... in real life I actually *am* a caricaturist, but never ever draw in the big head/little body style!

Well there ya' go then. I absolutely adore it all. To be perfectly honest, it's a favorite of mine to see caricatures like that, though not often seen.

Another brownie point in your column. *huggles* *gr*
