The next was at New York. I hate doing "stupid" drawings. And what I mean by that is the silly, character x drinking a beer or shooting a bird or whatever. I'll do them but I prefer to do just straight "character" drawings at cons. Now for a commission... that I do at home... that's a totally different story. I actually enjoy those and have one I'm working on right now... the Hulk vs Solomon Grundy playing Ping Pong. Anyway, this kid walks up and asks if I can draw Captain America. I said no problem... then he added... "sitting on a couch next to the Red Skull smoking a bong". At this point i said... well (shit) sure. Brian "Pants" Christman started picking on me any time someone would ask for a sketch. They would say... "Draw Catwoman" and he would add... "with a bong??". Ha, Ha freking Ha. Anyway the kids name was Austin and I had to get a picture of him and the sketch. By the way, the caption reads "Pass the $h!+, Bee Yoch".
Finally, Pittsburgh. One night at the bar (a place that I feel like a fish out of water) I was hanging around the Comic Geek Speak guys (who were looking over the Karaoke song lists) and this lady asked me who I was. I said "Andrew" and she introduced herself as Melanie. She was a fan of the Geeks and was having a blast at the show. the next day, she come by my table and said "I didn't know you were THAT Andrew". At least I make an impression. Anyway, she asked for a sketch and said draw whatever I want so I did... Venus and Ricky 17 from Tales from the Cornerstone.
