Dave at a Con getting his sketch on... sorta

Last weekend was the ever-impressive San Diego Comic Con, and if you don’t have the pleasure of following webcomic people who frequent such an awesome event then you won’t realize what your missing.  So, let me tell you what you’re missing.  Most of the time you’re missing inside jokes between creators, but there are also great pictures including the fan arts the creator is drawing.  There’ll also tell you about the panels and after parties so you get an idea of what’s going on and who’s having all the fun.

I’ve gone to one SDCC myself, and the event was amazing.  Every year after that I had to rely on blog posts that typically recapped the whole weekend days after it was over.  Now, thanks to Twitter, I’m able to feel in a small way like I’m still out there by following celebrities and webcomicers who actually ARE out there.  It’s actually pretty fun.

That said, I thought I’d suggest an artist for you this week, and though there are a lot of great people to follow I decided on Dave Kellett for a few reasons.  First, Dave is one of the first people I started following and one of the few I’ve never stopped following.  Since I follow Dave, I also know for a fact he really is one of the more entertaining follows – especially at cons.  Lots of pictures, jokes, sketches and such in his feed.

There is an alterieror motive I admit.  Just a few days before SDCC, Dave actually posted his 3000th Sheldon Comic!!  That’s a huge feet, and there aren’t a lot of comic people out there that have been doing such high-quality comics for so long.  Sheldon is one of the first webcomics I found, and it’s still one of the ones that can make me laugh almost every day.  After 3000 comics, that’s really impressive.

Plus, Dave’s started dipping his feet into Sci-Fi now with his new comic Drive which updates on Saturdays.   Both comics are great, and I fully recommend both to anyone who loves webcomics – which, hopefully all of you visiting this site do.  Love webcomics.

Anyway, jump over to Twitter and check out Dave’s awesome feed and then add him to your follow list.  You can thank me later.
