Inktober!

My first year doing Inktober and I actually kept up with it. I was a few days behind but managed to do it all! You can catch all of them on my instagram and facebook account.

Returning to WonderGround Gallery!

I will be returning to Wonderground Gallery in Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort for the month of August. I will be making two appearances from August 5-6 from 2-5 pm and August 26-27 from 2-5pm. Hope to see you there. The gallery is not inside the park and it's free to get to the gallery.  So grateful for this opportunity! 

Comic Con San Diego 2017!

San Diego Comic Con 2017 was great and crazy as always. A lot of my photos are posted on my Instagram and FaceBook account so please check them out!

Here is a picture of my table and its the same usual spot F-11. This year I brought with me my watercolors. Its something new I have been working on. I have done digital work for a long time that I wanted to go back to painting. It just feels more organic. I won't be giving up digital work but its a good balance.  I'll be back next year! Thank you all who came out and said hello. Its always nice to see familiar faces. Its also great to meet new people.

If you didn't get to go this year - hope to meet and see you next year!

Summer and Fall!

I recently just got back from my London and Paris Family trip and have a big of jet lag. Yesterday night I was up for a couple hours so decided to finish up Summer and Fall to complete my 4 Seasons.

Here is Summer and Fall. The older 4 Seasons will be retiring.

Here is the other two that were completed earlier on. 

New Winter

I will be retiring a lot of prints end of this year. My digital style has changed and grown that when I look at older art its hard to identify myself with it. Its a good thing because I can see how much I have grown!

Also I started to watercolor and its been great. Its still a learning curve for me but I feel I am getting better at it.

Here is my new Winter print. I wanted to redo my geisha seasons so here is Winter.

New Print!

Been doing so much watercolor that I needed to take a break and go back to digital so here is a classic style! 

Getting ready for Comic Con!

Sorry for the delayed posts. Instagram and Facebook are places that I post on a regular basis that I tend to ignore my blog. 

The only thing I can report is I am getting ready for Comic Con in San Diego. I got some new shirts and prints that I will be bringing of course. Also this year I will have some watercolor prints and originals. Its just something I have been working at and slowly getting my confidence. I don't think I am nearly as where I want it to be but practice makes perfect! 

Here are some images I got from Instagram but please follow me @nanhockin for daily updates! 

New Shirt Site

I decided to move over to Threadless.com when it comes to printing shirt. I am not sure if I will stay here. It could be possible for Comic Shows I will get a limited number printed but for now check out my site at https://nanhockin.threadless.com/

I decided to move it over here because to be honest - carrying inventory on shirts is a big investment and I work out of my home so this allows me to not keep so much inventory. I don't think I would have the space in my house to keep all these shirts. Also it makes customers happy. Now you can get any design on any style of shirt and size. This way it works. I think the key thing is to get it printed on lighter color shirts. The quality is ok. I admit that. Screenprinting shirts are better but its still a good shirt. Here are a few samples I ordered for myself. Not so bad. 

And here is two where they came out ok but I took out the gradients so going to get these two reprinted. 

Threadless will be handling all my shipping and returns now but if you got any questions then feel free to email me! If you don't see it a certain style of shirt email me as well. I can turn on the style you may want. Threadless offers a lot of different styles of shirts!

WonderCon this month...planning for Comic Con San Diego

WonderCon is just around the corner. This year WonderCon will be back at the Anaheim Convention Center on March 31-April 2. I am all set for that show and will be bringing a lot of old and new artwork. This year will be some new watercolor prints. Lately I have been painting watercolor a lot and sure enjoy it.


I am also thinking about new prints that I would like to bring to San Diego Comic Con in July. I know July is still whiles away but its less stress for me.

Here is one I have been working on. Yup another Mermaid? I know...I just gotta do a new mermaid every year.

a few new artwork...

I know its not Halloween but going back and giving some of my artwork some backgrounds.

Watercolors

The past few years I have been practicing my watercolor technique. It's definitely getting better and feeling somewhat confident on what I am doing.

This year I will be bringing a few to my shows for purchase.
