Dr. Sketchy's meets Roller Derby

This is my favorite drawing from today's Dr. Sketchy session.  The subject is Cher Noble of the Northstar Rollergirls.

Oh Brother! Fun with blue-lined Kirby pencils.

Finally there is an affordable 11 x 17 scanner/printer on the market.  I recently purchased the Brother MFC-6490CW "all-in-one" -- and am very pleased with it.  Cost was around $200 (after a rebate from Office Depot).  I wanted to see if I could print "blue lines" on bristol board for inking, so I scanned this great Jack Kirby piece (from the "Kirby Unleashed" book) and printed it in blue (well, cyan, if you want to get technical) on 200 lb. Strathmore smooth bristol.  Some other artists have reported not being able to run bristol through the printer -- but I've done it multiple times now with no problems.  After printing out the test blue line sample, I couldn't resist inking it!  So here's my take on "Bullseye." 

FallCon Oct 4 & 5!

I'll be a guest at FallCon the weekend of Oct 4 & 5th.  The show runs from 10AM to 5PM both days -- and is at the grandstand at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul.  I'll be selling and signing comics and artwork, displaying some of my sculptures -- taking commissioned sketch orders -- and maybe even giving away some comics!

Other guests include Dan Brereton, Norm Breyfogle, Zander Cannon, Ernie Chan, Howard Chaykin, Tony DeZuniga, Steve Fastner, Rich Larson, Paul Fricke, Terrance Griep, Peter Gross, Gene Ha, Phil Hester, Adam Hughes, Christopher Jones, Dan Jurgens, Jim Keefe, Ryan Kelly, Peter Krause, Dwayne McDuffie, Angel Medina, Shawn Moll, Jefrey Moy, Phillip Moy, Alex Nino, Tom Nguyen, John Ostrander, Martin Powell, Gordon Purcell, Tom Richmond, Don Rosa, Joe Rubinstein, Brent Schoonover, Tyler Page, Barbara Schulz, Vincent Stall, Mark Stegbauer, Len Strazewski, Paul Taylor, Herb Trimpe and many more!

Please stop by if you can and meet all these great cartoonists!

Another one

Another Batman and Batgirl drawing.

More commissions

Comic art collectors are keeping me busy turning out one commission after another.  Here's the latest batch, Captain America, Golden Age Green Lantern,  Hawkman, Batman and Batgirl and the Earth-2 Robin.  I have quite a few more to do.  If you're interested in getting on my list, let me know.

Lee's Liquor Lounge gig poster

Here's a poster I knocked out today.  This ought to be a damn good show.  I won't see it, as I'll be at the Kitbuilder's Model Kit show in St. Louis....

The Mammoth Book of Best Crime Comics

Out now -- this hefty anthology of crime comics contains work by Mickey Spillane, Alex Raymond, Jack Cole, Jordi Bernet -- and a "Ms. Tree" story by Max Allan Collins and me.  "Maternity Leave" is one of the tales from our run at DC Comics, and features a very pregnant Ms. Tree doling out her usual brand of justice -- but with an even worse attitude than usual.  I'm thrilled to be included in such terrific company in the pages of this massive book.  For more information, click HERE.
