Flaming Artist
Here’s a drawing I did while tabling last Sunday, August 8, at Hard Heroes, at MJ’s in Silverlake, California. I was offering it for $15. It’s drawn with a Fountain Pentel on a 8.5 x11′ comics backing board. I did a number of backing board sketches that night. I will be posting them and offering them for sale. Hmm. That’s kind of a pain in the ass right now. Never mind. You can’t buy it. Maybe in a couple weeks, when I get back from my niece’s wedding in Alaska.

“This is a fantastic exhibition for anyone who appreciates graphic novels. Each of Mr. Rader’s panels has a small placard that describes a bit about the behind-the-scenes creative process that takes a raw idea and transforms it into a finished book.
