SDCC Spotlight: Ray Sumser, Creator of “The Comicosm”

SDCC Spotlight: Ray Sumser, Creator of “The Comicosm”
With the comic community growing at an alarmingly-fast pace, some stories and characters start to blend together, but artist Ray Sumser does it on purpose! I really wish you guys could have seen this HUGE painting of hundreds of our favorite characters, battling across a never ending sea of bodies. It’s called The Comicosm, an epic name, to say the least. Ray is the sole artist behind the project and he knew just about every character I shouted out. From The Animaniacs to Godzilla, this guy had everybody. A crowd of people surrounded him, with those in the front row shouting out names. We were all surprised by not only the number of characters but also the intricacy with which they were included in The Comicosm.
This sliver is just one fraction of the whole painting. In trying to identify the famous characters in this bit, the most obvious thing to me is Captain America Vs. Duffman. I can also see Batman vs. Stephen Colbert. Also caught in the fray are Space Ghost, Dilbert, B.O.B, Snap, Crackle, and Pop. Beyond that, the rest of the characters are a complete mystery to me.
You can view the piece, as well as some of Ray’s other works, on his personal website and Facebook page. Poster prints of The Comicosm are available for order, but due to the mass popularity of Ray’s presentation at SDCC, they’re flying out of stock!

2011 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs camera as well as two Nikon models -- the D90 and the new D7000. Mostly a toy, I also purchased a Fuji Real 3-D W3 camera, to try out 3-D photographs. I found it interesting although I don't see any real use for 3-D stills now. Given that many of the photos from the 1860s were in 3-D (including some of the more famous Civil War shots), it's odd to see it coming back.
Trips this year:
Civil War Trust conferences (Savannah, GA, Chattanooga, TN),
New Jersey over Memorial Day for my birthday (people never seem to visit New Jersey -- it's always just a pit stop on the way to New York. I thought I might as well spend a few days there. Despite some nice places, it still ended up a pit stop for me -- New York City was infinitely more interesting),
my 6th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco).
Ego strokes: Author photos that I took were used on two book jackets this year: Jason Emerson's book "The Dark Days of Abraham Lincoln's Widow As Revealed by Her Own Letters" and Dennis L. Noble's "The U.S. Coast Guard's War on Human Smuggling." I also had a photo of Jason Stelter published in the Washington Examiner and a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post.
Number of photos taken this year: just over 390,000.
