Damon’s Sketch Dump, Stumptown 2013

Damon — Thu, 02 May 2013 05:55:12 +0000

I went to Stumptown Comics Festival in Portland, OR this past weekend, and a good time was had by me. Here are some portrait sketches I did in my little book thing that holds sketches. These were drawn from life with ballpoint pen. I’m gonna write some notations like a diary so I can look back on these entries from the far future, after the singularity has occurred and humanity has been crushed under metal terminator feet, but a rag tag group has survived including me, and somehow we backed up the internet for me to fondly peruse this entry, and this is getting too complicated I better stop, now I’m really stressed out about my unfortunate far future. My sympathies to myself, from the past.

John Ohannesian by Damon Gentry.

This first one is not from my Stumptown trip, I drew John months ago sitting next to him at a Seattle art meetup called “Dune.” I spent about 60 seconds on this sketch, in contrast, I spent 20 to 30 minutes on the rest of these in Portland, which you can tell ’cause they got more lines, I guess.

Farel Dalrymple by Damon Gentry.

I drew Farel from the audience at the Meathaus reunion panel at Stumptown, below is a picture by Glenn Peters of the panel and you can see me in the orange shirt drawing Farel, so now my alibi will hold up in court.

Matt Southworth by Damon Gentry.

This was drawn Saturday night at dinner in a Thai restaurant in downtown Portland with Matt and Brendan. I had the veggie egg rolls appetizer.

Brendan Wright by Damon Gentry.

At breakfast Sunday with Matt and Brendan, who is a saint among kings for giving me a couch to crash on for Stumptown, so I feel bad that this is not the best likeness. We joked that it’s Paul Giamatti playing Brendan. A good joke.

Dash Shaw by Damon Gentry.

I drew Dash at a panel he gave on Sunday about his work. There is something about this sketch seriously bugging me right now that I want to fix, but I already scanned it, and I’ve got deadlines to worry about, so I will broadcast my shame to the universe, unfettered.

Simon Roy, Damon Gentry, Brandon Graham ECCC 2013 Jam

Damon — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 01:24:41 +0000

Y’ELLO. Last weekend I went to Emerald City Comic Con 2013 edition and met lots of cool people and blah blah fun fun, I got shit to do, but real quick here’s a 3 panel comic jam for a Prophet fan, with Simon “Bad Bad Boy” Roy, myself (Damon “The Sentry” Gentry), and Brandon “The Brand Slam” Graham. (Those are my nicknames for them, please don’t actually call them that.) I took the second panel in a silly direction a la Die Hard and Brandon killed it with a Mexican stand-off which still makes me laugh to look at. Sorry for the crappy cell pic quality, I guess. Also, excuse my crankiness, I am EXHAUSTED WAAAUUUGH.

Edit: Here’s a photo I found online of Brandon drawing his panel.

Wolverine by Aaron

An awesome Wolverine drawing for somebody, by Aaron Conley, on one of those blank variant covers that Marvel puts out. Why the hell do they do those blank variants, anyway? What is that all about? I don’t understand this world we live in.

Here is a ridiculously awesome music video for one of my songs (with my musical collaborator David Roby), courtesy of my pals Andy & Jeff Crocker, with the assistance of other fine and very talented folk. I can’t express how much I love everything about this video, from the concept and the tone to the performances and cinematography… It’s so… I just… I promised myself I wouldn’t cry… Anyway! HERE IT IS!
