HOLY POO! A new post!

Wow, a new update...finally!  So, I have been working VERY hard on my Kickstarter comic, Broderick.  This opportunity came up RIGHT in the middle of me working to complete the Broderick book.  This project was one of those "can't pass it up" opportunities.  I did 30 sketch cards for the Marvel Premier 2017 trading card sets.  Only 3 of the 60 (because I had to do both sides) of the drawings were rejected...those are the white spaces you see (Sorry I can't show those...and two of them were my favorites)...oh well.  Anyway, enjoy these and Broderick is COMING SOON!

HULK SILHOUETTE!!

As the main event of the year: Denver Comic Con, approaches.  I have been receiving a TON of requests for illustrations.  Which has been great, but it's hurting my personal production a bit.  That's OK, because I'm getting paid. This is an illustration for an ad that will be appearing in the Westword next week.  I can't wait to see the finished product and I'll post it when it is printed.  ENJOY!!! and see you next week at Denver Comic Con booth 217!!

Groot Colors

I am feeling very productive over the past couple of weeks.  I have finished a book cover, got to participate in Wake Up and Draw for Jack Kirby's birthday...and today... I got to color the Groot I did for the King's birthday.  I am also going to be participating in The Mile High Horror Film Festival in October.  And finally, I have a new illustration and comic gig for a local book.  I'll show that soon.

MLK/Avengers Inks

Here are the inks for this piece.  This is as far as I am going to take it.  Not sure about color.  Don't really want to take the time.  Anyone want to?

Avengers and MLK 50 years later...pencils

In 1963, the year MLK Jr. gave his famous speech, The Avengers debuted for Marvel Comics, with five white males as the main characters.  If you look at the books today they are full of a series of diverse and interesting characters including an android as a main character in one of the books.  The diversity may not be directly attributed to that speech, but 50 years later, the diversity in comics is mirroring the society around them.  Thank you Reverend King, and thank you Marvel for showing the interest in making your comics diverse and accessible to everyone.

Jack Kirby's Wake Up & Draw and 50 years later

So, this morning I was inspired by both Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., and Mr. Jack Kirby.  I was unsure how to incorporate both into an image, but here we are.  the four Avengers depicted are the current main characters of the Avengers, Avengers Assemble, The Mighty Avengers, and Avengers A.I.  I wanted to post a work in progress because I may not get a chance to finish it today.  It'll be up within the week, I hope.
