I was guest on "Sketch Up with Mog & Mel" as they had on the creative team behind "Dracula 1944". Since their book is about a Vampire I figured I should draw one...or two.

There is a meme with Nandor talking to Gulliermo about his favorite muppet being the vampire on Sesame Street. I'll let you look it up.

Reimagining the Goddess, Isis

I picked up some Kuretake gold ink and wanted a character that I could adorn in gold. The goddess Isis seemed like a good option. I did my take on the goddess but included elements like the throne symbol, ankh, wings, and an usekh collar to hopefully sell the look as Isis.

Retro Sci-FI Profile

As a child of the 70s I grew up with a lot of retro and pulp sci-fi. This was a Saturday warm-up project to get in the drawing mood. I wanted to try to capture the look and feel of the art that graced those old sci-fi stories.

Two more sets of bookmarks done. I'm about half way through my usual output for each year's bookmarks.

Set 5



X-Men
Hal Jordan

Set 6

Gen 13
Jean Grey, X-Men

BPRD

This is second time I've met and got to hang out a bit with artist Rick Hoberg. This time I pre-commissioned some art from him, his choice of character. He did the cool ass Vader. Especially cool knowing that he worked on the official comic adaptation of Star Wars back the late 70s.

Sketched out more figures for bookmarks. Now, help me decide who they should be. Comic book, anime, manga characters are all open.

This is my 3rd set of bookmarks for Free Comic Book Day 2024. I usually make between 50 and 70 each year. Printed sets are given to our local Comic Stores and Public Libraries; the originals go into my inventory for conventions.

Saw a post ranting about "agendas" in comics as being some recent thing that's ruining the medium... guess it's time to revive this.

Got a head start on bookmarks for Free Comic Book Day 2024. An Asian characters set and a "gods" set. I'll be seeding more sets with art that has been drawn after last FCBD. Thought I'd do these sets on tone paper. Not sure how many I'll do this year; usually around 10 or so sets of 5 originals drawn each year.

Set 2:

What's on my drawing table tonight. Roughs for the first batch of bookmarks for Free Comic Book Day 2024.

Nova Corps Nebula
(What If...? season 2).

From a "What If...?" themed drink & draw.

Really enjoyed this episode and it's Blade Runner sci-fi noir vibe. And Nebula is my MVP pick from the MCU so far.

I had this rough in the my watercolor sketchbook for about a year now. Decided it was finally time to paint it.

"The Death of Superman" story arc was the first time as a comic nerd that I can recall broadcast news covering a comic book story. It was a huge event at the time.
The background purple and gold are metallic but unfortunately metallics don't scan well.
