This year was quite a bit larger than those in the past. I think the con took up the entire convention center space this time around as there were more higher profile celebrities, creators and exhibitors. I understand the lines were ridiculous for some, but I think those were mainly for the celebrity autographs and photo ops. Since I wasn't interested in either, it wasn't a big deal to me. I was there for the art and to have a good time.
Byron (Wookiee) make the trek from Saskatoon and stayed at my house and we had fun at the show getting more art for our collections. Wait till you see what he got!
Along with the artwork I was able to get a Bowen X-Force Deadpool statue for $175 (thanks Byron!) and the Nova #1 (Forbidden Planet Adi Granov variant) and the Superior Spider-Man #1 (LSCC Granov variant) straight from Adi himself. As well as the three DC ECCC Exclusive comics (Justice League of America #1, Batman #17 and Green Arrow #17.
So, now that I've decompressed from the show and finally got my art scanned and up on CAF, I can share it here. Comments are appreciated.

This one took me by surprise. Byron was my houseguest for for the show and he gave me this just as he was almost out the door on his way back home as a "thank you" for hosting him. NICEST GUY EVER!!!!

These last two I had done last September at the Jet City Comic Show. I wanted to start up a DKR theme to my commissions and wanted to get a few more from ECCC before I started posting them online.
