(2/2) It has been a long journey. It’s not over yet. I hope the book makes you smile.

For folks that aren’t Kickstarter backers, the book will be made available after the physical rewards have been mailed out to the campaign backers that answer the forthcoming survey.

I still have to do the text edits, take one last editorial pass, and prep the digital and print files, but... the interior art (pencils, inks, colors, and vintage effects) for Undersea Hero is done.

Got my Live Drawing Stream tonight at 8 PM EST on YouTube, Twitch, Facebook and my website. I'll be working on some new art & raffling off this piece from last week. Just put a comment on one of the platforms during the stream to enter. The more comments, the more chances to win it.

Have not been on here in some time. Here's a random piece of Conan art by Walt Simonson that I dig. #comics #comicart #conan #simonson

Just an October Charlton Comics horror appreciation post. So much fun. Tom Sutton, Steve Ditko, Pat Boyette, Jim Aparo, Bob Hall, Wayne Howard, Joe Staton, Rich Larson, and so many others contributed to these fun titles.

Terror Con is coming up. I did the poster art for it (pencils, inks, colors, and hand lettering), and I quite enjoy this one. I could draw those silly monsters all day.

Big pile of comics, graded comics, and art all boxed up and ready to go all over the world. Everybody gets a box doodle.

TONIGHT AT 8 PM EST! LIVE DRAWING ON CONAN #1 RELEASE DAY! THE ROAD TO FAN EXPO BOSTON this Friday! Sketches of Red Sonja & Belit for folks that ordered my variant/sketch combo off of my website. You can order one there if you like. We'll have some laughs, and I hope to see you there!

I get asked a lot how do I improve my art? The words are simple: study anatomy, perspective, composition, design. It’s the thousands of hours & drawings no one sees that’s hard. More sketchbooks to the recycling. Thousands of successes & failures. Took out the good, thank you & goodbye to the rest.

Thank you to everyone that came to see me and visit at San Diego Comic Con. I saw so many people that I hadn’t seen since before Covid, and it was just so wonderful. I’m very lucky to have so many friends from all across the country.

Best Fishes,
Ian

I'm going through lists, checking suitcases, hoping I don't forget anything. I'm flying out tomorrow early, and hopefully I'll be at booth 2200 at San Diego Comic Con tomorrow. Here's a handy map to where the booth is, stop on by if you're around. I've got new neat stuff that I'm pretty proud of.

Big day for me, copies of my Conan the Barbarian #1 wraparound cover arrived today. I grew up reading these comics, and the Conan paperbacks my father gave me as a kid. This is the stuff that dreams on paper are made of for me. You can get it on iancnichols.com if you like.

I'm packing everything I can think of to get ready for San Diego Comic Con next week. I've got my official SDCC debut books and prints packed, and I'm trying not to forget anything. If you are at the show, I'll be at booth 2200.
