Motor City Comic Con thoughts and another batch.

Well, the Motor City Comic Con is over and I must say I had a great time. It being my second year in attendance I can say I did very well for myself being more under the radar than others. It was definitely a learning experience, which is good, and I feel that I can grow more as an artist after being around so many great people and other artists.

Having said that, my original sketch cards went over very well and I received alot of great feedback from them. I really enjoy doing them and will continue to do so. Now having said that, here's another batch I whipped up while at the convention (a few I did beforehand, but didn't get a chance to post them. Enjoy.

Comic Con 2.0

This is the first of two prints that will be on hand in Novi. Loosely based on Bub from Day of the Dead and the Obama "CHANGE" posters that came out a while back. I was going to go with a grayscale palette, but decided to go with the colors used on the cover of the DVD. The borders around it will be smaller because I've included bleeds to it.

Comic Con 2.0

I was in a sketch card funk this past week.....big time. Out of 10 I started to draw, I threw out 7. For some reason they just weren't clicking for me. I decided to shift gears and do something bigger. Last year I had a few monotone sketches that people really seemed to dig; something that's one of a kind is pretty special to them I guess. This sucker is 19" x 25". I forgot how much I liked doing these.

Comic Con 2.0

I became really motivated this past weekend and decided to hammer out another set of 8. I'm shifting gears here and opted to do some more Spiderman cards as opposed to Batman cards I decide to throw in each set. I think I'm going to do more classic Spiderman villains such as Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Electro, etc. My personal favorite for this set is the Mark I suit by far.

Set 5. I had some requests to do some Ghostbusters cards and what better characters to do than Slimer and Stay-Puft. I even added good ol' Destro in there to boot. The Iron Man/ War Machine cards are incomplete; I'll be adding some bells and whistles with paint (think the inside of Tony Starks helmet with all the scans, crosshairs, and the like. I finally got around to doing Two-Face, my all-time favorite Batman villain and I think I'll be doing a couple more of him featuring his different incarnations throughout time.

Set 4 believers. I did a few requests here including Swamp Thing and V, and a few Dr. Dooms to boot. I was thinking of what to do next and while I was skimming my DVD shelf I came across a personal favorite of mine: The King of Monsters, Godzilla. I don't care what you say about the guy, he's leveled Tokyo so many times, I'm surprised they kept rebuilding it KNOWING he would come back and stomp some green ass. I'm thinking for my next set I'll feature just Godzilla and his monster buddies.

Here's another 8 for ya hot off the press. This set contains two of my personal favorites thus far: good ol' Marv from Sin City (bottom, 2nd from left) and Mr. Victor Freeze (top, second from right). It really wasn't intentional to have mostly Batman villains in this set, but that's the way the mop flops.
