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!

LATE NIGHT SNACK...
Here's our pal, the Martian Manhunter, enjoying a late night snack for this last post of 2009. Look at him- he sure loves those cookies! (Frankly, I think he might have a problem).

So, you may (or may not) recognize this image since it is the inked and colored version of sketch I posted a little while back. I made a few adjustments, such as adding some more counter top items in the background as well as some notes attached to the fridge. The biggest addition was the moonlight, which I added to give it some more atmosphere. And I also changed the box from "Oreos" to the comics' official "Chocos". You know, just to keep everything in continuity.

Happy New Year, everyone!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Seasons Greetings from me and Gizmo! Here's the X-Mas card that I did for my friends and family this year. And just in case someone happens to give you a Mogwai (like our pal Gizmo here) please do not get it wet or feed it after midnight. Unless you're bored. Then, by all means, go nuts.
Hope everyone has a very Happy Holiday and an awesome New Year!

Darkman says: HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Have a happy and safe Halloween everyone! And in case you're wondering (and I know you are) Darkman's favorite candy is Charleston Chew, which I think are terrible. No offense, Darkman.

YODA......Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda! Sorry, I've been listening to a lot of "Weird Al" lately.

HATS!Here are sketches of "V" from V for Vendetta and, for no reason, an Old-Timey Villain. But look at them! They sure love their hats! Other interests they share include cloaks, mustaches, smooth jazz and blowing things up with dynamite. And kids, never trust anyone that likes smooth jazz.

MOCCA!

Hey everyone! This weekend, I will once again be attending one of my favorite comic art shows around: the MOCCA Art Festival! This year, due to it's continuing expansion, it will be held at the 69th Regiment Armory at Lexington Avenue and 25th Street in New York City. I will be there, along with my wife Erin Gallagher and our friend Brad Johansen selling prints, mini-comics, books, buttons and other cool items. So stop on by to say hi. The entire show is filled with super-talented people with great items for sale, so you'd be crazy to miss it. Check out the full list of contributors here.

Hope to see you there!
