Normally I draw characters rather than actors, but I had the good fortune to be able to meet Joe in person at a recent Stargate convention, and, well, this is my way of summing up the experience.

I think I've gotten better at getting a range of tone out of my pencil. Either that, or I finally got my scanner settings right, because I didn't have to adjust the contrast on this one.

THATS AWESOME!
Love It ~ Great Talent.
It's a bummer that Joe had to cancel that one -- he also canceled on a con I went to last year. I hope he can make it to Germany sometime soon. He was really great to meet and listen to -- funny, thoughtful, and very charming.
Hope, I'll also meet Joe on a convention. Here in Germany was a Convention named "Battlestar Atlantia" (Con for Battlestar Galactica and Stargate Atlantis) and Joe was listed as guest, but unfortunately, he must cancel this one. What a pity!
I really love your drawings!
i'm glad you got to meet him though, and as always I love, love, love your work.
How are you liking season 4?
I'm loving Season 4. Doppelganger is my favorite episode so far. Two Sheppards -- it was just tailor made for me.
If you haven't seen it, there's a bit of video from the con here: [link]
Lovely natural likeness.
*checks vital signs* Not dead yet!
So glad you liked. I'm drawing a lot more quickly than I used to, and it's interesting to see how that affects the results. (In this case I was too lazy to sharpen my pencil, so the shading and hair are a bit impressionistic.)
