More Exclusive

Action Figure Freddy in San Francisco debuted another exclusive limited print of mine. Thirty only. Get 'em while they're hot!

Super-Con '09 *UPDATE*

A few of the commissions I did at Super-Con this past weekend.








I was doing strict B&W except this one handed me some color markers.


And here's a couple more late additions.

Exclusive

I've produced this new print of my Lance-Corporal piece that I did recently. It's a limited print which is a first time for me (I usually do open prints). There will only be 30 of them made. They'll be sold exclusively by Action Figure Freddy in San Francisco. I'm guessing they'll go on sale this week sometime. AFF also sells my other prints and Bookplate Betties, so if you're in the hood and want to pick'em up that's a good place to do it.

Between Rounds

Next weekend Gallery Nucleus opens a Street Fighter tribute group art exhibition. This gave me a great opportunity to get this Chun-li piece out of my system. Chun-li was always my favorite Street Fighter character, as a young man I spent many an afternoon daydreaming of those thighs spinning through the air. Sigh.
Anyway, the original art will be available for purchase at Gallery Nucleus April 25, 2009 - May 11, 2009.


Here are a few highlights from the progression.

Missiles!

There's a little extra "volume" in this piece I know.
Ahem.
It's a gift for a couple friends... friends who are a couple. You know what I mean. There are two of them. Friends I mean.
Anyway she's their creation HyperJen.

I was going for more of a retro 50's version of the character.


I couldn't decide which version of the scan to post, so you get both! I like the crispness of the high contrast scan but I also like the cool variations in materials that you can see in the color scan. Including the zip-a-tone on the space stuff and rocket.


Inking is fun. I need to get back into it more.

Announcement

I'm very excited to announce the re-release of my sold out book Belle du Jour! It's being published in France in May 2009 by Fluide Glamour (a division of Fluide Glacial). It will be part of their art book series, a follow up to the Arthur De Pins art book. Which is quite an honor, Arthur is one of my favorite artists.

The book will contain all of the same art but with a different format, presentation and layout. It's going to look really spiffy, I can't wait for everyone to see it.


This is Fluide Glamour's 2009 catalog used for the recent BD festival at Angoulême to promote the book. It was an exciting surprise to see my drawing on the cover.

Wondercon Commissions

Wondercon was fun as always. Business was a bit slow overall though. Which wasn't so bad since it gave me some more time to spend on commissions.
