Go Figure! sketch Night At Rainy Day

This past Saturday night was the Go Figure! sketch night at Rainy Day Art Supply. This time out our model was local artist Loki Gregory dressed as the Mother of all Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen. 

A cutout sword was provided as a prop from our host Kelly.

A couple of contour drawings. 

And some added dragons...

Among some of the local talent in attendance were Darin Palmer, Anne Garavaglia, Jay Fosgitt, Jim Anderson and our host Kelly O'Hara Nemzek. Check out their art!

The time clock. It was menacing and welcoming (at the end of the day), but always loud. Probably a little evil, as well.

This was the 11th installment of the strip that I did with Darin Palmer about life working in a factory. 

Stranger Things Art Book

It's been official for a few months now, but we are soon closing in on the release date, so I'll make an announcement. Here's the official propoganda:

Things are about to get a little…strange. I’m excited to announce I will be featured in VISIONS FROM THE UPSIDE DOWN: STRANGER THINGS ARTBOOK, coming October 15! Preorder your copy here: https://bit.ly/2Jbd3xC #StrangerThingsArtbook 

'Featured' is a bit of a stretch, but I do have a piece in said book that was approved by Netflix and the Printed in Blood people, so there's that. I can't show my image until the October 15th release date, but above is what the cover will look like. 

Go Figure! Sketch Night At Rainy Day Art Supply

These are some sketches from this past Saturday night's Go Figure! sketch session at Rainy Day Art Supply. Our model this time was Darian Wolfe dressed as Bowie's Goblin King from the movie Labyrinth. 

A contour drawing.

As always, thanks to Rainy day and our host Kelly!

Come on down, over, above, below to Cobo Hall in Detroit this weekend for the Michigan Comic-Con. Matthew Lewis will be there. He might have some gillyweed. Maybe. 

I had a hard time getting this to scan to show the colors properly. The background is more of a dark purple and all the adjusting in photoshop didn't do the trick. So, you'll have to see it in person. It's purplely. 

Michigan Comic Con 2019

Starting tomorrow and going through the weekend you can find me at table #B11 in Artists Alley at the Michigan Comic-Con. Not only can you see a whole lot of excellent artists and writers from this area and beyond, but also those lightweights, such as Val Kilmer, Michael Dorn, and Matthew Lewis., etc. 

I will have copies of my latest collection of cartoons, called The Feral cartoonist. Riproaringly hilarious stuff.

Also, I will have copies of my comic book Second Star. I am currently working on issue #2 and might be doing so this weekend.  

All this and the usual load of prints, sketch cards, books, and some original art. So, stop on by Cobo Hall in Detroit. I'm hoping for a good time!

Pipedreams #10

(click on image to make bigly)

Here is the 10th installment of the Pipedreams strip that I did with Darin Palmer way back when. Darin did the inks and colors, I penciled them and we both wrote them. It was a fun strip to do.

As you can see, Chili, Chester, and Melvin all have their own viewpoints on how the day starts. If I hadn't stated this before, all of the characters, even the ducks, are based on actual factory rats (and ducks) that worked in that most magical of places.
