The Comic-Con in San Diego was nothing short of amazing again this year and I got to feel and talk with many of the artists that inspire me. I didn't get to buy as much as I usually do as many artists opted to sell more expensive hardcover books but I am VERY happy with what I did bring home:The Art of Deanna Marsigliese - The crown jewel of my collection. She was busy all weekend and was super nice. She is scary talented. Check out her blog...http://pinkydee.blogspot.com/
Belle Du Jour: Cheesecake by Bill Presing - Simply amazing book! His colors and playfully cute girls are inspiring. Check out his blog... http://billpresing.blogspot.com/
Fleet Street Scandal: A collection of Kevin Dart and Chris Turnham - These two artists never cease to awe me. Their textures, compositions and color palette are fantastic!

Mandy's Shorts by Dean Yeagle - Another great book by Dean. One of the few more expensive books I bought and well worth it. http://gallery.bellefree.com/dabeagle
J. Scott Campbell Sketchbook 2007 - Was happy to see that J.Scott was selling a sketchbook again this year. He drew a fantastic caricature of Dwight from the Office that just cracks me up. http://www.jscottcampbell.com/
Good Girl Bad Girl by Loter - Finally Loter has released a book and this was well worth the wait. A cute book with a fun poem and fantastic illustrations. This book was a huge hit with even my non artist friends! http://loter.com/
