The Uncanny (and fabulous!) X-Women

Life is still crazy here in the lab! Cranking away on the final issue of Madame Frankenstein, while Issue #3 arrives in stores on Wednesday. Storyboards continue to flood in. Friends' wedding programs need illustrating. And I've gotten confirmation that I will be at both NYCC and Comikaze in October! Details to follow on those two shows but if you're planning to attend either, make sure to stop by Artist Alley and say hi.

In the meantime here's some eye candy from a recent commission, featuring some of the women of the X-Men. This was a fun project to do because my introduction to comics was through both the Knightfall saga of Batman, and the early 90s X-Men. So drawing the X-ladies as they appeared when I read the comics (with the exception of mohawk-era Storm, of course) was a bit of fun nostalgia.

Etsy Store Is Restocked!

Just restocked my Etsy shop in the wake of Wizard World STL! I added a few new originals, and you can now buy prints from me online as well!

Newly added, this original color sketch of Rogue drawn
at the Wizard World STL convention!

Currently available as prints are my Mad Men ladies series, Han Solo and Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Dr. Girlfriend from The Venture Bros. In the next week or two I'll be replenishing the sold out (or nearly) prints, and also adding a few new characters, based on popular requests from fans at the show! (Hint: The Monarch will be making an appearance due to incredible demand!)

After the Storm

Just added this new drawing of my favorite X-Man(woman!), Storm, to my Etsy store today. 100% of the sale of this piece will be donated to the Red Cross relief efforts for those affected by Hurricane Sandy. And if the X-Men aren't really your thing, during the entire month of November, I'll donate 15% of all other sales on my Etsy shop as well. 

Please share, repost, and retweet! 

Uncanny

A little bit of a slack day today after a long weekend of working. I had so much fun drawing Wolverine yesterday that I decided to unwind tonight doing a few quick marker sketches of some of my other favorite X-Men characters.

I can't wait for my brand new scanner to arrive, and I hope it picks up colors at least a little better than this obnoxious thing. 

Someone Like You

After finishing the day's work on page layouts and character designs, and inking two pages of another project, I settled in with the last pages of my sketchbook to watch some TV and scribble. This is what happens when I'm stuck between the end of a special on Adele and the beginning of "Mad Men", and all that's on is "X-Men Origins: Wolverine".
