Grasiela Rodriguez invited Alex and I to the San Gabriel Valley Comic Book Expo. She's a talented comic artist and painter as well as an exemplary chalk artist. Check her out at her facebook page
here and her website
here. She also helped to plan the event! She is inspiring as a sweet and energetic person as well as as a multi talented artist. The Expo had a lot of talented artists and interesting panels. I went to one on the forgotten treasures of Mexican comics, but if I get a chance I'll do a separate post on that. There were fun art activities for the kids upstairs as well as a SGV Comic Art Exhibition, the SGV Expo is done, but I believe the SGV Comic Art Expo runs until August 10th. For more information, please visit their facebook page
here.

Here is an updated work in progress view of my dragon painting. Now the sky has a bit more drama. I thought I was almost done with the sky, but Alex noticed that I forgot the sections underneath the dragon's wings... So, while I have made progress on the sky, it turns out I have quite a bit to go...
