Boston Comic Con

Hey everyone! I had a chance to go and check out the Boston Comic Con this past weekend. It was an awesome show and I had a blast checking out some really great art and sitting in on an Adventure Time panel (and meet the comic book illustrators, Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb!) Of course I also stopped by to meet comic book legend, Neal Adams and get a signed Spider-Man print. I'm looking forward to a couple of pieces of art that should be arriving in the mail soon. I'm going to keep the details under wraps until then...

Minion Art - Wild Willy

Some more Minion art. This guy here is called "Wild Willy" I suppose he would have to be pretty crazy to come at you with a spark - I know I'd get out of his way.

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na BATMAAAN!

I've been doing a lot of sketchbook drawings recently - it's not that I don't use it on a regular basis, but I've been working in it more than usual. I've already mentioned it before, but I find sketchbooks are some of the most important tools that I use. I sketch, doodle, draw, and write down ideas that I may forget later (so it's a good thing I documented it). Today's sketch is none other than the caped crusader himself - BATMAN! I recently watched a 3-part comic book documentary by PBS, it was really great - there was a ton of information and history on the industry that I was unaware of. If you're looking for info here's a link to the PBS site with episode descriptions: PBS SUPERHEROES

ADVENTURE TIME!

I couldn't draw Finn and not draw Jake. It's simplistic but it makes me happy to have an entire sketchbook page of Jake.

What Time is it?!

ADVENTURE TIME!

Guess who's been watching Adventure Time? I started and finished seasons 1 and 2 (currently up on Netflix) and I reallllllyyyyyy liked it. I had watched the Pilot more times than I can count years and years ago when that was first released and just never got around to watching the actual show - strange, I know. The good news is that there are 104 more episodes that I haven't seen yet, so the adventure isn't over yet! Today's work is just a drawing out of my sketchbook colored with marker.

Rocket Raccoon Sketch

I really think Guardians of the Galaxy hit it out of the park. It was a really funny, enjoyable, action-packed sic-fi/comic book movie. Without a doubt Rocket and Groot stole every scene. Here's a quick Rocket sketch colored with some of my new Prismacolor markers (hurray for new art materials!).

Reptar on ICE!

While at the Brass City Comic Convention someone inquired if i had any Rugrats art, and sadly I did not. I set out to rectify that problem and I figured "What better character to draw than REPTAR?!" Now if you grew up in the 90's watching Rugrats episodes over and over again there's no way you can forget "Reptar On Ice" the musical. After watching that episode again I had to do a piece based on the epic love story of when a lizard takes a wife. Now, back to inking another childhood inspired piece...
