Sketchbook Stuff

















I haven't updated the blog in a while, so I thought I'd share a sketchbook image (I just scanned this the other day as part of my portfolio submission to return to school). It's drawn from life, after having the opportunity to sit in on a terrific life drawing workshop in Evanston last summer.

I never get tired of drawing from life.

Meet my Art Dealer: The Interior Pages!











I'm thrilled to announce that The Interior Pages is my exclusive art dealer! The Interior Pages is the brainchild of longtime comic fan (and supporter of the arts!), Jason Palmer.

Growing up, Jason read comic books as a way to learn how to read. Years later in middle school, he met a kid who handed him a Punisher comic book and forever changed his life. After college, when money was easier to come by, Jason began buying comics again, transitioning to original comic book art and commissions. This quickly turned into a full fledged hobby. After years of collecting art and making contacts in the comic art world, Jason fell backwards into the art dealing world by helping his friend Rahsan Ekedal with his sales. After a year, he added to his stable by bringing in Joe Eisma. From there, The Interior Pages were born. Jason is married and has two kids and currently lives a few miles north of Seattle Wa.

Jason currently has over 150 pages of my original art, pinups, and covers up for sale, including all four issues of Athena Voltaire: Flight of the Falcon, both stories from the Complete Webcomics (Terror in Tibet and Wrath from the Tomb), the 2007 Athena Voltaire FCBD story, the Athena part of the Athena Voltaire/Black Coat crossover one-shot, my ComicTwart pieces, and a few unpublished pin-ups.

Check out all of the other fantastic artists that Jason represents:

And once you're done checking their work out, drop by The Interior Pages! Comic art makes a great Christmas gift! ;)

Commission: Athena Voltaire and Wolverine revisited












Today's commission is actually an inked version of a piece I did a few years back. I've uploaded the pencils for the sake of comparison.

I really enjoyed revisiting the piece. I spotted some things that I used to do in my pencils and really want to get back to. Additionally, I saw a few cringeworthy things that I was eager to fix.

I'm a much looser, confident inker these days and was thrilled to slap a juicier line on this than I would have four years ago.

Which one do you like better?!

Commission: Rocketeer to the Rescue






















I've said it a hundred of times, and I'll say it a hundred more times…I never get tired of drawing the Rocketeer.

Here's the description for today's commission:

"Here's what I was thinking, a scene where Rocketeer comes crashing in through a window (skylight? etc) while Betty is tied up or chained to a wall (like girls in pulp books tended to be), maybe in torn clothing, however you want to have fun with it."

This one presented a challenge in that it's tough to fit in both figures, and the setting, AND create a sense of dynamicism. My solution was to put the point of view on one of the characters. Obviously, having the hero big is best, but the compositions I was came up with him in the foreground were shots over Cliff's shoulder or behind him, which makes for a great shot of the jetpack—but not a good shot of the Rocketeer.

Putting Betty in the foreground gave us a dynamic composition, and a front view of the Rocketeer—even if he was smaller. I tried to punch him up by adding some dynamic blacks and having all of the breaking glass radiating around him. Hopefully, this creates a focus on him, even if he's not the large figure.

I usually stay away from any implication of sex/bondage in commissions, but the "bound Betty" in this piece works for two reasons: (1) as the commissioner says, it reflects the pulps of the era, and (2) it's a winking acknowledgment of Betty Page's actual background (which Dave Stevens acknowledged throughout the series).

And the Buddy Commission Surgery Fun Drive continues! Information below:

PRICING
$40 for an inked single-character piece on 8.5 x 11 (or 9 x 12...depending on what I have lying around). Additional figures, email me for a quote. Plan on $5 for Priority Mail shipping if you won't be picking up the piece at the show.

Commission: Lady Shiva versus Karate Kid






















I haven't stopped doing commissions—I just had to clear some assignments out before finishing more of these. Look for more commissions, plus some other new work on this blog in the coming weeks!

Today's commission features the Legion of Superheroes' Karate Kid sparring with Lady Shiva. The description was " These are two of the best martial artists of all time so I think it would be a great fight. The only thing I ask is that neither character is shown as clearly winning."

This presented a really fun challenge: I didn't want either character to have their backs to us, and I wanted neither in the foreground, overshadowing the other. My compositional instincts led me to "stacking" the characters, with Shiva leaping/kicking, while Karate Kid punches/ducks. Both characters are untouched, but thwarted—evenly matched.

I added in the graphic of the yin/yang symbol to drive home the concept of balance.

The Buddy Commission Surgery Fun Drive continues! Information below:

Commission: The Rocketeer (AGAIN!!)






















Seriously. I've done more commissions of the Rocketeer than any other character besides Athena Voltaire.

And it's always fun!

I'm not thrilled with the scan on this one: some of the subtleties of the clouds are lost (the darks are too dark, and the medium tones are blown out), but the original came out pretty well. Inks and grey marker on 11x17 bristol board.

Post SDCC Pre-Wizard World Commissions, and Dog Surgery























Most people that follow me on Twitter or Facebook have heard this, so I apologize for repeating myself.

About a half hour after my flight landed in San Diego for Comic-Con a couple of weeks back, I got a call from my dog's veterinarian. Buddy, my pooch, needed emergency surgery due to a twisted stomach and bloat. I was devastated to hear that the procedure had a 30–50% mortality rate.

Thankfully, he made it through in good health (YAY!) and is on the road to recovery (see photos: his stitches and him in a T-shirt to prevent chewing on the stitches).

The surgery and health care cost almost $2,000. The long and short of it is that I'll be doing commissions for the forseeable future. If you're interested, here are the details:

PRICING
$40 for an inked single-character piece on 8.5 x 11 (or 9 x 12...depending on what I have lying around). Additional figures, email me for a quote. Plan on $5 for Priority Mail shipping if you won't be picking up the piece at the show.

Commission: Bikini Babe

Today's commission had a simple description, "under the vague heading of 'pretty girl in bikini' and leaving it to the artist at that point." With that in mind, I knew I wanted to have some fun with a retro pin-up approach.

I had the opportunity to contribute a pin-up to an upcoming Fallen Angel collection. J.K. Woodward, the incredible artist on the series, has set the bar high, so it was a fun challenge.

Shown here are my original rough, a couple of work-in-progress camera phone shots while I was inking, the finished inks and the colors, courtesy of my ever-amazing collaborator, Jason Millet.

If you're an art collector that prefers to have commissions done in your themed sketchbook, you can mail me your sketchbook and I'll be glad to bring it to the show.

PRICING
$40 for an inked single-character piece on 8.5 x 11 (or 9 x 12...depending on what I have lying around). Additional figures, email me for a quote. Plan on $5 for Priority Mail shipping if you won't be picking up the piece at the show.

$80 for an inked single character piece on 11 x 17. Again, for additional figures, email me for a quote. And again, $5 for Priority Mail shipping if you won't be picking up the piece at the show.

(ink wash added at artist's discretion...let me know up front if it's something you really, really, really have your heart set on.)
