Update and eBay auctions

Hey Gang,

It's been awhile and I've been busy. Working on Chapter 2 of the new Outlaw Entertainment book. Penciled about 12 pages so far. Here's some proof:



I love this shot, BAM! "Wolfman has nards!" hahaha. Believe it or not, I actually looked up photo reference since I had to draw it a few times. There's a lot of groin kicking going on, on the web.



I was re-reading a friend book, Hysteria, which is amazing by the way. GO BUY IT NOW! lol Anyways, Hawthorne does this realy cool line work on the face, thought it was great and wanted to use it for myself. It works great for a "oops I'm really embarassed at the moment" feel.



In the meantime, I've been getting a lot of questions about commission/sketches (prices etc) and then never hear back from them. I'm pretty reasonable as for as prices and ability to get things done in a timely fashion and I have a paypal account for speedy transations, so I don't know what the hold up might be...hahaha. Well at any rate, I have a few pieces up for sale on eBay:


Iron Fist


Superman

They're a steal. If they sell soon, I might just start putting up more pieces or possibly "samples" with a bid for a custom sketches.

And finally, I will have a few pieces in the local art show in Lawreneville, NJ. I'm dropping them off this Saturday and will post a final date and location.

Look for a few new posts soon.

R!

Hulk Commissions, Collect the whole set!

So after returning from Boston, I received an email from a fan, Ryan. He purchased the Hulk sketch I posted the other day. He really really loved my style so he commissioned me for a whopping 9 commissions! WOO HOO! So I just finished the last one today, check em' out! Thanks Ryan for the support and I had a blast drawing these characters. I've never been asked to draw any of them before!

Reilly, a man of our time....

So I don't know if I mentioned this before but I was the subject of a news article for the University I work for. I'm use to the occasional podcast, website or student documentary project interview, where they ask you a few questions. I answer them and that's what they go with. This was a totally different experience. Thankfully, the student, Kaitlin MacRae, was someone I knew since she works next store to my office, which made the process much easier and comfortable. Though I answered questions, she turned it into a story, a very well written one and I doubt that I'll ever seen as important or intelligent again. lol.

Anyways, check out the article by clicking the image. I couldn't ask for a better promotional piece. Thanks Kaitlin!

Bean-town, Just Been-there....

Well I made it to Boston and back again in one piece. Though I did nearly hit a wall doing 45 mph at 6:30 am on Thursday morning just a mere 10 minutes into the trip. That was scary, never had a car turn 90 degrees and a slide 15 20 feet on a off ramp....oxymoron? hmm....anyways, got to spend 2 days in Boston, do some site seeing and did some tourist stuff. I've never been to Boston and it was like a mini Manhattan. The subways were easy to manage (unlike Chicago, ugh!), people seemed friendly enough and the hotel I was staying at was perfect. 2 minute walk to the Charlie (subway), a meer 10 minutes from downtown and a 5 minute drive to the convention hall. Saw a few spots I recognized from one of my all time favorite movies: Boondock Saints....I know, I'm a nerd.

Here's a few photos from the trip:













As for the show, much bigger than I thought it was going to be. Good crowd, made a few new friends and fans. Here's a few sketches I was able to bang out, though I missed one or two. If anyone got a sketch but I didn't put it up, email me and I will do so ASAP! Thanks again for stopping by the table and supporting me.

Also I wanna say thanks to anyone who placed a bid on the sketchcards that were up for auction and especially those who won! You helped raise $50 for American Cancer Society. Not bad for only 3 cards and 30 minutes of my time. YAY!
