SKETCH CARDS !


They're here! These are the JLA sketch cards I did for DC/Rittenhouse I mentioned a little while back. Well, actually, it's only a handful of them since I figured it would be a bit much to post all 250 so I just picked the ones I liked the most.

They came out a couple of months ago and I have seen them circulating the web on various message boards as well as on eBay, which is pretty cool. The ones on eBay are not being sold by me but I did receive 5 blank cards of the set for me to draw new ones. So keep an eye out for when they're available; I'll be posting them on here pretty soon.

And as an added bonus, it introduced me to the awesomeness that are Copic Sketch Markers. I never really cared for markers as a medium before but figured they would be the most convenient option for this project. My wife told me about Copics since she's used them before, so I got a set and, man, they are nice. The colors are very vibrant and blend incredibly well, unlike other markers I've used in the past. They actually almost have a watercolor type quality to them. If you haven't used them before I highly recommend trying them out.

And as another added bonus, this marks the first time I got to draw Superman professionally, (and some other characters you may have heard of) which is pretty sweet. It was a great project to work on and I would love to do more of these in the future.

Later!

VILLAINS!

Bizarro and Black Adam are going to get you.

HELLO BLOG...

...long time no see.

Hey everyone! So it's been a little while since my last post, but, despite my lack of presence on the old interweb here, I have been keeping busy. And one of the things I have been keeping busy with is drawing sketch cards for the JLA/ Rittenhouse Archives' Card Sets. Here's the item from the May issue of Previews:

The sketch cards are all original, hand drawn pieces that are inserted into each pack (one per pack) and every artist that worked on this project had to complete 200 cards. It was definitely a big project but it was really a lot of fun and I would love to do more of these. I'm not allowed to post any of my images until the cards are released, which will be sometime in July, but I will post them up here as soon as I get the OK. So, keep an eye out for when the cards finally hit the stores and, if you are so inclined, grab a pack; maybe you'll get a set that has one of my cards inside! Stay tuned!
