Hammerhead Shark Sketch

I haven't done a #SundayFishSketch thingie in awhile now, so I felt that I couldn't pass up the theme of doing one's favorite shark. There are so many to choose from, but I went with the awesome hammerhead, nature's very own aquatic blacksmith. 

A Few Recent Sketch Card Commissions

 

Here are a few Empire Strikes Back themed sketch card commissions that I did recently. These were done of the client's custom made stock and are done in the wide vision format. As always, these were fun to do. 

This Lungfish May Have Some Thoughts On The Michigan Air...

 

The other day, Paul Shuert, the aquarist at the Belle Isle Aquarium sent me an idea on his thoughts of the quality of the Michigan air these past few days; a lungfish, that needs air, as well, may need a gas mask or air filter of some kind, just to get through its day.

Hopefully, the Quebec wildfires will abate soon and we can all breathe a little easier.

Cosmic Sketch cards

 

I have done some sketch card sets that have been sitting around for a few years because they haven't been released yet. This set, that I did in 2020, is one of them, but today the set has finally been released and I can show them.  UD Cosmic by Upper Deck is distributing these in a different way, with something called an e-Pack. I'm not sure how it all works, but I'm sure that the collectors do. I will post my artist proof cards soon. 

Cherry Capital Comic Con 2023

 

If you happen to find yourself in Traverse City, MI this weekend, you may want to find your way over to the Grand Traverse Resort for the annual Cherry Capital Comic Con. It is truly the best of cons with great organizers and staff and there will be a whole slew of creative talent and media guests on hand. It should be a great time!

I will be there in Artist Alley at booth #1004. I will have all the usual stuff, such as prints, AP sketch cards, original art, books, comics and I will be doing commissions. Stop on by and say hello.

A Great White Shark Innards Sketch

This week's theme for #SundayFishSketch is to show the inner workings of a fish, such as a dissection. I hesitate at times when I choose to go with humor, but I think that I'm in good company with the scientists. At least I hope so.

Pipedreams #19

 

I haven't posted a Pipedreams cartoon in awhile, so here is the next one in line that Darin Palmer and myself did many moons ago. This strip was about our time working in a mattress factory. I think that all of the characters were based on actual people, but the names have been changed to protect the guilty. These strips wrote themselves as this one actually happened. 

I do believe, word for word.
