Salt Lake City Day 2: Found possibly one of my most favorite shirts and dressed up as a casual Starlord for the booth today. Had a lot of great conversations and got to share my work with a lot of cool people!! Remembering how awesome @jamesgunn is today and how huge companies need to not be critical of what someone says a million years ago. Be kind, and excellent to each other!!! .

Day 1: Here we go SALT LAKE CITY COMIC CON!!! Traveled most of the day yesterday with the lovely lady. Saw some incredible sights and weather and now we are here in beautiful Salt Lake City. We found a local who gave us the run down of the way the city works! So excited to be branching out of my hometown. I can’t wait to share my work with new people!!!

So very excited to have been selected to be a part of this lovely art book. Thank you @matttaylordraws and @playstationeu for this incredible opportunity!! // This book is filled with amazing art inspired by the Shadow of the Colossus video game. Growing up this was one of my favorite games and definitely inspired much of my work in terms of scale and mood. To say that I’m honored is an understatement. And yes I stood in a bush to get this photo taken, sacrifices must be made!! .

SO COOL!! I met this kid @drewrende at comic con this year. He and his dad came to visit the booth and I found out he is an up and coming artist!! I always want to encourage artists to keep at it and to keep drawing. I asked Drew if he’d mind drawing one of the characters from my comic book. He knocked this out of the park and even included some goodies! Gonna frame this man, and the envelope!! THANK YOU DREW!!! Keep drawing and I hope to visit your booth someday! #manifestfuturecomic #derekwk #fanart #manifestfuturefanart #drawing @denvercomiccon #denver #denverartist
