2020 – life without conventions…
pretty apparent we won’t be having comic cons in the near future (or, at the very least, I won’t be attending.)…
also, with zero foot traffic, made zero sense to keep the studio space over at the narrows venter for the arts in fall river…
SOOO, i’ve got a lot of stuff here that i need to pack away… or preferably, sell … so, keep an eye out for updates at https://craigrousseau.bigcartel.com
NotAtAnyCon
not at c2e2? hey, me neither… but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a commission from the comfort of your own home… i’m doing a limited number of #NotAtnyCon sketches this weekend.
2020 is gonna be BIG!
okay, so 2020 is shaping up to be a VERY busy year…i’m providing art for a 6 issue mini series from dynamite, KILLING RED SONJA, written by mark russell and bryce ingman…
working on new material for the scout release of KYRRA volume 1 (20 pages of new material, and a cover or 2)… if sales are good, we’ll jump onto volume 2 sooner than later….
been a slow road, but todd and i are ramping up for the next PERHAPANAUTS graphic novel (barring any crazy developments, we plan to chart our own course and self publish again with a kickstarter campaign later this year)… it’s gonna be wild…. AND todd and i have been working on a fun little, animated style HAPS story to get out for the convention season too, so we’ll have something new on the table…
working with my pal, mike federali, hard at work on another creator owned book OWLGIRL the we hope to get off the ground soon as well (… ha, i made a bird pun)
much as i love posting my daily sketches and whatnot on social media, i realized it doesn’t do much to keep THESE projects all moving ahead (or build my own cache of art and characters… i’ll always love the big 2, but why not promote my own characters?… so besides commissioned head sketches (looking at you, steve)… most of the stuff i post here and on my patreon will be for the creator owned stuff…
hope you stick along for the ride, post comments, invite your friends… (or enemies, whatever works)

NotAtHeroescon… sketches!
well, seems weird to say it… but for a second (!) year in a row, todd and i will not be set up at one of our favorite shows, heroescon. we’re taking a break to spend time with the families, recharge and plan for for the future…
but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a sketch… like previous NotAtAnyCon weekends, i’ll be doing some LIMITED sketching on cape cod (and back home next week) and shipping them out. if you want to get one… drop me line (me@craigrousseau.com)
living in a social media world…?
i realize that i post most of my art on various social media platforms (and have links to them on this website)… but want to get better about curating my art and keeping things up to date on my personal website. i’ve updated the convention appearances, started with galleries highlighting the “just for me” concert posters and more, but there’s PLENTY more to go…
also need to get better about updating the web store and selling art beyond convention appearances…
and even considering a mailing list to keep folks in the loop beyond the social media.
so much to do, so little time… bear with me (and any thought on what you’d like to see, drop a line!)

a Not AtAnyCon weekend
well, seems like it’s gonna be one of those weekends… a NOT AT ANY CON sketch weekend!
not sure how many of these i’ll be doing in ’19 (or the next time i’lll open the commissions list, so...)
email me@craigrousseau.com to get on the list, i’ll be doing commissions over the weekend to ship out next week…
online and pre-show commissions
okay, after an amazing two weeks in the UK, it’s back to the grind… and that includes CONVENTIONS (DRAGONCON in a few weeks and then BALTIMORE COMIC CON and RHODE ISLAND COMIC CON in november)
i’ve had a few emails about lining up pre-show commissions, so i figured a quick post would be easier… and if you’re NOT going to any show and want some art, it’s the same deal (just add $10 shipping)…
patreon…!
okay, so i’m slowly getting on board with the 21st century.
i’ve been posting a LOT of free art over the years… and figured, maybe it was time to try and do something new… so…
sign up for s low as $1 a month to get access to all the art posts and ramblings…
$5 gets you downloadable monthly PDFs … and higher pledges gets even more. (and a chance to win the monthly art raffle)…
who knows, you might even get to see new pages from upcoming creator owned stuff and more…
i’ll continue to post art online elsewhere, but if you want access to it all first, here’s the way to get it.
thanks!

memorial day 2018 NotAtAnyCon
seems it’s that time again, so details on the latest NotAtAnyCon* weekend…
instead of flying all the way to orlando or phoenix and setting up to sell books, art, and sketch, i’ll be staying in new england and doing sketches over the weekend and (with any luck) mail them out the following week… (not surprisingly, any full commission requests might take more time)
*with everything on the calendar for the summer, there’s a VERY good chance this will be the last NotAtAnyCon weekend until the fall or beyond…
pretty straightforward – email me@craigrousseau.com to get on the list… (i’ll cut the list when i think i won’t get to any more sketches )
head sketches and full figure available on limited sketch covers as well ($10 extra)
