The story of this sketch is told in my con report from San Diego 2000. It was my second sketch of the third day of the con. I look back and find it amazing that I was able to keep track of everything that happened at San Diego 2000 so well, but there is a reason for it. I got 42 sketches and spent four days in pure bliss, and the instant I got home I wrote to my little sister who was out of the country at the time and gave her an absolutely detailed report of the con. A carefully edited version of that became my official con report. The next year at San Diego I didn't have anyone to write to, and so my recollection of that con is much poorer.

I really like this sketch for the fact that it isn't too detailed. It always amazes me that some artists can draw such a sparse piece that perfectly expresses their style and yet is only a few deft lines. This is one of those pieces. Anyone familiar with Gilbert's work will instantly recognize that it's his, but it's so wonderfully simple!
