I got product comin' out that I didn't even know I did! Peep for yourself!
So yeah, apparently there are Wolverine & the X-Men busts and statues on the way. This particular one will be coming out in early 2010. And as keen observers may or not be aware of, that particular design was done by yours truly way back in 2007. Pow!
Crazy how things work out like that huh? Now, if only I could get my hands on a comped version....
Oh, and if you're in the tri-state area October 16-18th, come see your boy at the newly revamped Big Apple Comic Con, now run by Wizard World. I will be there with studio mate Emilio Lopez doing the usual thing, sellin' stuff, drawin' stuff, kissing babies, hugging wifes, etc. Don't bother asking the table #, I'm a super last minute addition so even I don't know yet. But I will be there, better believe it.
Disney bought Marvel today! Is that crazy or what??? I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing yet, we'll have to wait and see. As of now it's just an "interesting thing."
To commemorate the occasion, I had to whip this up real quick.
It's about that time of year again. While I unfortunately had to miss out on this year's San Diego Comicon, I will in fact be going to Wizard World Chicago. I'll have the usual, a few new prints, Black Books, Pimpjooze 4, and whatever last minute stuff I can scrounge up and fit into a suitcase. I will be sitting at table 4106 with a host of other artists, such as Angel Madina, Eric Jimenez, Rachelle Rosenberg, Greg Titus, Tim Seeley, Chris Burnham, Chris & Justin Copeland, Jenny Frison, Luke Smarto, Brian Crowley & Patrick Brower. Yes y'all, we rollin' DEEP this year. Fa sho. So come through and say what's up to your boy if you're in the Chitown area. And while I'm at it, I might as well pimp the cover I did for my boy Eric Jimenez' book Temporal, which you will be able to buy at WWC. You can also purchase the book directly off of Eric's website. BAM.
Oh, and did you know that there is a Chaotic video game coming out this fall? Well, if you didn't know, now you know.
Done for the homeboy Sean Galloway.
Awesome character, I had a lot of fun doing this. The backstory behind this illustration can be seen here.100% done in Photoshop.
"I'm not bad; I'm just drawn that way."
My life changed the day I saw Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Apart from being one of my favorite movies of my childhood, it introduced me to Jessica Rabbit. Jessica Rabbit, the one woman who has single handedly influenced my art more than any other woman.
I saw Roger Rabbit when I was 9 years old. I think I was in North Carolina for the summer, my Grandmother took me and my cousin Byron. I loved the movie of course; the mix of beautifully done 2d animation and live action was masterfully done; the Alan Silvestri score; seeing Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny on screen at the same time. It was all so perfect and bigger than life to me. I knew this movie was special. I wanted to live in Toon Town. But the thing that put it over the edge, the thing that really, really stuck in mind. . . . .was Jessica Rabbit. Never had a line drawing created such a . . .stir in me. I was only 9 years years old, but I was in love. She just oozed sex appeal. The way she walked, the way she talked. I tried so hard to recreate her, and failed miserably every time. I didn't understand women and I couldn't capture what it was that made that figure so appealing, but I was determined to one day figure it out. And I've spent the next twenty years trying to do just that, haha.
I still don't think I have it down just yet.
But one day Jessica, one day. . .I'll figure it out. I promise.
P.S. Cool World gets an honorable mention. But I mean, let's face it: redheads are hotter than blondes.
