FUGAZI /PHOO-gah-zee/ was an American GI slang during the Vietnam war. "Fugazi" is an acronym which stands for "Fouled Up, Got Ambushed, Zipped In." It refers to out-of-control situation such as in a chaotic jungle warfare combat environment.

Since the late 1990's, Studio Fugazi has been helping many clients who have found themselves in chaotic, out-of-control situations find inner peace through great design.

 

Con was INSANE! We had a blast and sold a ton of stuff! Here's just a few fun snaps of what we saw and what we did...

Here's me on Saturday night after three days...I'm pretty wore out and I still have an art auction to go to...

This cosplayer asked me to sketch...HER! It was a lot of fun and she seemed happy with it...her costume is way cooler than the photo lets on.

Gary Coleman died on Friday. I got bored and did a sketch card. Nobody bought it, but interestingly enough I sold TWO Dennis Hopper sketch cards the next day...no lie.

This was our favorite Power Girl cosplayer...why? Because if you're going to go as Power Girl you have to have some curves and ummm....well, she's got 'em. Yes, my wife has seen this picture. Calm down, people.

Dude, this guy bought my painting for $50! I put it up on the art auction and wow...there was honest to God bidding going on for it for a bit there. I'm determined to do more for the next con...plus I find painting relaxing anyhow, so it's a win-win.

Yeah, yeah, I know...did I take any pictures of any MALE cosplayers?

No...No, I didn't. :)

I was so busy working I couldn't go out and spend much money (that's a good thing), but I did make enough to get this cool addition to my Green Lantern sketchbook from a guy called Todd Nauck. This particular Green Lantern has this weird mask that many artists are afraid to tackle because it's tough to make it look good...Todd had no fear...the sketch card next to it is a Ms. Marvel my friend and co-conspirator on Thugs, Steve Reid, did for the Marvel Masterworks series. He said I could have one of his, and I took him up on it.
