...and I got to meet her!
I first ran into her when I was getting the lay of the dealers room on Friday. She was only just setting up so I introduced myself and then scooted when some potential customers came by. I took (no, not quite dragged
) a JMS fan down to her table later on but it was covered. I think I still managed to convince him that he *did* want to catch up on all of the BoLS issues (as well as anything else of hers that might catch his eye).
Saturday I barely enterred the dealers room as it was, naturally, the busiest day for the con. I was interested to see when I passed by, though, that it looked like she'd brought some of her original artwork. I wondered if any of it might be BoLS.
On Sunday, the only reason I went to the con was to look for Colleen since JMS didn't have anything but a signing and I'd already gotten everything I had with me signed. I lucked out and, though busy, Colleen was nice enough to let me s l o w l y go through the pages she'd brought and talked about her models and hinted/teased about the villain in the upcoming issue #7.
I'd previously bought the wonderful cover for BoLS issue #2 from her and I found a pencil sketch first draft of that which I snapped up. I also bought a lovely 'splash' page of Jonathan looking down into the river from issue #1. Have I mentioned how gorgeous Jonathan is?
She was nice enough to autograph both and I particularly like the inscription on the Jonathan drawing "Not all those who wander are lost."
I'd picked up a copy of 'Orbiter' and the first collection of 'A Distant Soil' from her table at the OneRing convention here in Orlando a few months ago but I haven't had a chance to read them yet. It's obvious that Colleen can adapt her style to any story, though, and I look forward to seeing a lot more of her work.
