A cool dude who is named...David Petersen!





Spent Sunday afternoon at the Shrine Auditorium for the monthly Sci-Fi comic con.This months guest were Rutger Hauer and the man Mouse Guard's David Petersen. David was there promoting his new trade hardback book, Mouse Guard Fall 1152.It's a great book, looks beautiful inside and out .David's storytelling , beautiful art and coloring,make this book a must-have.Personally,he is one of the genuinely nice and approachable people.Aside from being so talented artistically...he's just an all around nice guy.I spent maybe 20mins. with him and his equally pleasant and nice wife,Julia.just chit-chatting about upcoming projects and their short stay here in L.A.We also talked about all the wonderful folks on the Hellboy.com Messageboards.i was there to obviously pick up David's book ,but picked up copies for my messageboard buddies SpydaWeb(Maurice) , Bandit37(Jake) and my friend,Bobby from Crazy Cat Comics.David was gracious enough to sign and sketch in our books , he also did a sweet Hellboy sketch in my Hellboy sketchbook.Basically ,the more people I meet whether it be from the messageboards or from the industry have been all positive.Sunday was just another positive and memorable experiece.Thanks David!!!
