A year has passed and I just can't find the time to post photos.  I'd said that you could catch the Inkwell Awards-related pics at the IA site but since then we've revamped the site, deleting the Photos section and relegating them to our Facebook page since it's much easier and efficient there at that venue.  So I have a few images here but from now I'll occasionally just post a few highlights.  Just so you can see that I'm up and about and overweight.

Or not.  Here's an inking panel I participated in on June 5, 2011 at the Heroes Con but I'm covered up at the end and there are no other pics from the event with me, like I wasn't even there. L-R: Karl Story, Tim Townsend, Bob McLeod, Mark Morales, Scott Hanna, Dexter Vines (not seen) and myself (non-existing).

This earlier shot is from the November 16, 2010 Wizardworld: New England show where Inkwell ambassador Ethan Van Sciver read off the Inkwell Awards results over the mic and here presented his cover sketch raffle prize to an ecstatic winner.  Committee member Jim Tournas is behind him and I'm to the far right.

Here I'm appearing at the Southcoast Toy and Comic Show on March 27, 2011 in Fairhaven, MA which is literally 5 minutes from where I live!

At Pittsburgh Comicon, April 15-17, 2011 I attended my annual stomping grounds yet again and even posed with 'Being Human's Sam ("Aidan") Witwer with him wearing an Inkwell Awards shirt!  In pic 3 also posed with that venue's Ms. Inkwell Alana Stanley (right) and next year's model Melissa Dloughy Bender (left).  Renee George the promoter is always a joy and huge support to my non-profit organization.  Lastly, below, I posed with Joe Sinnott and Alana at the Inkwell Awards booth.

And to end on a high note, here's a few pix to the first Heroes Con Inkwell Awards ceremony below.

L-R: Prewsenter Tim Townsend, Auctioneer Ethan Van Sciver, Keynote Speaker Dan Panosian, and myself at the podium. See, I don't just wear Inkwell shirts! LOL!

L-R: Sinnott Hall of Fame recipient Kevin Nowlan, Best Inker and Most-adaptable Inker Scott Hanna, Props Award winner Art Thibert, and J. David Spurlock (cropped) representative for Hall of Fame post-humous winner Wally Wood, and me ("blah-blah-blah").

Exiting committee member Bob Shaw receives (and proudly displays) a silver inkwell trophy for his three years of devoted service.

Ms. Inkwell Kathy Taylor displays several donations for the audience to bid on at our live auction.

Ok that's it for this year!  Hope to see you on the next tour!

I've had a good record of posting pics from almost every show but most of mine from my whirlwind tour this year are Inkwell Awards-related and would get posted on that website and I can't see posting it all twice.  To check out IA pics you can go here, but that section is less updated than this one is;-)  Since the last entry for Boston Comic Con here below this entry I've attended Pittsburgh Comicon on April 23-25, Free Comic Book Day May 1st at both That's Entertainment with Mark McKenna (see photos) and New England Comics: New Bedford beside artist Juli Mayers (blurry photo), Granite Con in Manchester, NH on May 23 (I forgot to take pics at this event), and Heroes Con on June 4-6 (one pic with Jay Fife).  Hopefully there will be more pics from the shows in October, Wizardworld: Big Apple in NYC and WW: New England in Boston.

Excellent show! Awesome turnout!  But long lines, as seen in the photos posted on Facebook taken by Amy Fletcher, Sarah Montani, Mike Gelbwasser, Zante Kry, Rick Fonseca,and others at the location of the Westin Boston Waterfront on April 10-11.  I'm a huge Joss Whedon fan and I've taken photos with Clare Kramer and Julie Benz (posted below the other pics) so posing with Amber Benson from Buffy was great!  I spent some time catching up with Jim Starlin at his table talking about his recent work as well as our collaboration together on Warlock and the Infinity Watch at Marvel in the '90s.  And I was reunited with the Martinecks: my pal and sometimes assistant Warren, his wife Patty who I haven't seen in ages, and their son DJ who I finally met.  The Last photo is the Joe Linsner and Eva Hopkins booth where they both donated art to the Inkwell Awards.  For more Inkwell Awards-related photos and donators please go here.  Much thanks to Bob Shaw, Amy Fletcher, and Erik Korpi and the rest of the staff.

...but these fan photos sat in my inbox for the last two years and I didn't know what to do with them and now I do;-)

"Bob,
Hey. I'm a friend of Christos Gage. We met during a comic signing in Worcester earlier in the year. We bought 2 prints and my wife, who is a framer, framed them and we put them up in our kids rooms. They turned out so nice i thought you'd like to see them. i've included the pictures.
Thanks for the artwork!
Sean in Ct."

Thanks a whole lot for sharing, Sean!
