Comic Book Legend Jim Lee Draws Lady Gaga

New York Magazine reached out to designers and artists to design a new look for Lady Gaga. 20 artists submitted their designs, including comic book fave Jim Lee.

“My goal was to showcase what made Lady Gaga so creatively dynamic—from her music to her costumes to her hair to her flair for theatrical performances—and interpret her as a thoroughly modern and contemporary superhero. Part otherworldly, part vixen, part Lady Darque, my take on Lady Gaga showcases the eclectic elements which define her talent and style.” 

This reminds me of Witchblade mixed with Gaga. Cute, though.

BENT-CON was a Blast!

Yesterday, I went to Bent-Con, a comic-con for the gays. This was its first year and I believe it's off to great start for the future.

Several comic book and Sci-Fi writers and artists were present for the event. I spent quite a bit money yesterday, but I didn't mind. I'm supporting the work of highly talented gay people.

I was very fortunate to meet the some the writers and artists. You could tell how passionate they are about their work.

For example, I talked to J.T. Tepnapa and Carlos Pedraza, the masterminds behind the upcoming movie, Judas Kiss. Their info and advice was very helpful and informative. They have truly put their heart and soul in their movie and I totally admire them for that.

And for my ego, there were some readers of my blog and tweets. I was very happy to meet them.

I really can't explain how inspirational it was to see gay creative people in one setting. Sean Z, who's one the founders of this event, was pleased with the turnout and hopes to make it bigger next year. I believe it will get bigger and better. As more gay geeks, artists and writers hear about Bent-Con, I sure it will grow.

I'm Going to BENT-CON!

Today, I'm going to BENT-CON, a comic-con for gay fans. I will get to meet many gay writers and artists who are making the way for gay comics into the mainstream.

The neat thing about all of this, I will get to see artist and friend Sean Z.

Sean is the creator of the sexy Sci-Fi comic, MYTH. I was very fortunate to meet him at San Diego Comic Con this past summer; and I have to say, he is very nice and very real. Sean will showcase his work and he has new stuff to share at the event. He's also co-creator of this lil' Comic-Con.

Go here to see more of his superb work.

Oh, Sean Z is Fanboy of the Month for December. Check out his photo shoot
