(Relatively) New Stuff!

I've been a terrible Blogger, I admit it. I never pay enough attention, I'm easily distracted. Days become weeks, weeks become months...next thing you know years have gone by and I've forgotten all about you, my poor little blog.

But not tonight. Tonight, we post!

A Christmas gift for a friend, totally ripping off Jim Flora's awesome album covers. Gouache on watercolor paper.

Attempting to create a Jack Davis style B&W wash. Ink on watercolor paper.

 

Not the best Betty Boop, I might try to redo this one someday.
(haha! Right) Gouache on watercolor paper.

 

 My contribution to the CAPS auction to benefit Stan and Sharon Sakai. Ink and gouache on watercolor paper.

There is a book collection out collecting lots of great artwork from all the auctions, see it here: The Sakai Project.

Affectionately titled, "You ruined Christmas!". Ink on bristol board, digital color.

 

Don't ask me, sometimes these things just come out of my pencil. Ink and watercolor on bristol.

 

The last four are a bunch of convention sketches. Marker on watercolor paper.


 

Some Cover Recreations

I like doing these pieces for inking practice...and I need lots of practice! I especially need to make myself do more hand-lettering. Redrawing old comic book covers is a lot of fun, and I'm usually more inclined to finish. When I screw up an original practice drawing, chances are good I'll never finish it.

New E-Card

 

 

 

Another E-Card for Birthday Alarm; This time with color!

A Monster Birthday

I recently made a new E-Card for Birthday Alarm; I thought I would link to it here, given the Halloween theme. I hope you enjoy it!

Darkwing Duck: "Cat in a Hot Tin Suit" revisited

 

I posted the original, printed version of this story in an earlier post...for comparisons, you can read that story here.

This "Director's Cut" restores cut sight gags and missing panels...which especially helps scenes like the one on page 15, where Fluffy hits Darkwing with rockets, and DW responds, "That's a felony, mister!" Originally, Fluffy was to blow up a mailbox with those rockets, thus committing the felony. I also tried to add better clarity to some of the existing panels where it is very hard to see what is going on (the cats' invasion of the Grocerama, for example). And there were also some little details that have always bothered me, like having Al (a normal cat) run on his hind legs on page 23.

Cat in a Hot Tin Suit originally ran in Disney Adventures #3-12 (October 1993):
