Woebots

Before SDCC became saturated with thousands of fanatics of all things nerdy, I enjoyed the camaraderie built just by having conversations with artists while having them draw their signature characters in my sketchbook. Sketches have become incredibly hard to come by as of recent due to the amount of people wanting to meet the artists.  However, through the years I've gotten some pretty cool work done from JLED, Ron English, DEPH, Frank Kozik, David Horvath of Ugly Dolls, Gary Baseman, Simone Legno of tokidoki, TILT, MAD, Buff Monster, amongst many others.

One of my favorite drawings is one done by Aaron "Angry Woebot" Martin.  I always enjoyed witnessing the technique all these guys had.  Aaron was a really fun guy to talk to.  Fresh from the island at the time and rapidly making a name for himself in the industry.  You may recognize some of his work when you see bold pandas with cartoonish expressions.  He recently did a Paper & Pen session with Hypebeast.  Check them out!
