Punching Pandas
Inktober, Day 1
I’m really excited for Inktober this year. Last year was the first time I introduced these pandas, and I learned a lot about inking from that one month of drawing. I look back at those drawings, and it feels rewarding to see the progress that I’ve made ever since last year.
That said, let’s start this party off right! Day 1: Potty Panda!
War Pandas
Hey everyone, I’ll have a print of this ready for Rose City Comic Con this weekend (9/19-20). I’m also still taking pre-commissions for this weekend, sign up here.
Just a couple more days! Looking forward to seeing you all in Portland!
A Week in Toronto
I’m back from my week in Toronto for Fan Expo Canada 2015. What a week!
Overall Fan Expo Canada was a lot of fun, and I plan on signing up again. The parts I enjoyed the most was catching up with old friends, making new ones, and the conversations that I got to have friend friends and fans alike.
This was my first time at Fan Expo, and it was by far the biggest one that I’ve tabled at. Overall, things weren’t as stressful as I thought they’d be, and I actually felt pretty relaxed while I was there, much more so than the commute. After this weekend, I feel pretty good moving forward and applying to other large cons.
I got a good share of commissions, a couple of them were pretty wacky, but I had fun. Seemed like the theme for Fan Expo was pandas and girls, but I enjoyed making each and every one of them. I mean, I get to draw a Hellboy and a Furiosa panda, how cool is that?

Now that I’m back in Seattle, I’m getting a little moment to breathe, but not for long! Rose City Comic Con is coming up fast, see you soon, Portland!
Cheers,
Nolen
Super Pandas Poster!
Hey guys! Just made a new poster featuring all of my Super Pandas! I’m going to be bringing these with me to Fan Expo Canada and Rose City Comic Con. I’ll also have premium giclee prints on my shop. Get ’em while they’re hot!
Super Panda Commissions
Just finished up a batch of commissions for my good friend Kevin. He’s a big fan of the Super Pandas, so I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed making them. Cheers!
Las Vegas sketches
Here are a couple sketches I made during my weekend trip to Las Vegas, or more like during my flight back home from Vegas. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my sketchbook with me when I visited Red Rocks Canyon. Next time, next time…
