He-Man & She-Ra in Color

I sold the He-Man and She-Ra artcards and colored them before I sent them off.  I wanted to post them here to be able to compare to the inked versions.

One More For Wonder Woman Day III

Not only did I create my own piece of art for Wonder Woman Day III this year (see below), but Ray Caspio and I collaborated together on another piece like we did last year for Wonder Woman Day II.

This one, based on the ABC TV series starring Lynda Carter, has Private Etta Candy (played by Beatrice Colen) and Yeoman Diana Prince (Lynda Carter, of course), who we wanted to make sure were represented in the auction this year.

The Last Two Artcards

I am back from Mid-Ohio-Con, and I had a lot of success there.  It was really great to meet some of the comic fans out there and fellow artists. Mid-Ohio-Con was an incredibly amazing experience for me that I learned a lot from.  There were two other artcards I was able to finish right before I went to Mid-Ohio-Con that I wanted to post here.

Wonder Clubbing For Wonder Woman Day III

\

This piece, entitled “Wonder Clubbing,” is one that I did for the silent auction for Wonder Woman Day III to benefit two domestic violence shelters and a women’s crisis line.  I wanted to do a piece that showed Wonder Woman and her closest friends having fun and enjoying themselves, so I depicted them dancing at a club with a couple of admirers.  One of my goals for this piece was to also include characters close to the hearts of Wonder Woman comic book fans like Artemis, Etta Candy, Donna Troy, and in a way, Circe.

Stephanie Brown: Spoiler/Robin IV

I was a fan of the DC Comics character Spoiler from the first time I read a comic with her in it.  I believe it was Robin #3.  Since then, I tracked all three of her previous appearances in Detective Comics #647-649, where her first outing as a costumed vigilante was told.  Spoiler is pretty much the only non-powered teenage vigilante that wasn’t a derivative of anyone; especially not a male hero.  I created this visual Costume History of Spoiler as my own entry in the grassroots online support to bring the character back from her apparent death in the War Games storyline.  This piece shows the evolution of her costume through the 90’s and into the present decade, including many of the looks that artist Pete Woods gave her during his lengthy and classic tenure on the Robin title.

Spoiler was always a favorite character of mine.  She is determined, headstrong, fun, and comes from a blue collar background.  She doesn’t have millions of dollars and isn’t one of the privileged rich kids living off of Bruce Wayne’s money.  Her dad was a supervillain, the Cluemaster.  Her tenure as Robin was brief, but memorable.  I am happy that DC Comics has brought her back from “the dead” under the pen of her creator, Chuck Dixon, and I hope her character continues to shine in comics for years to come.

Mid-Ohio-Con: Saturday October 4th, 2008

Big announcement here:  I will be an artist in Artist Alley of the Creators’ Common on Saturday, October 4th, 2008, at the Mid-Ohio-Con in Columbus, Ohio.  I’ll have half a table and will be there all day to sell drawings, make sketches, take commission orders, and hand out promo cards.

This is exciting because it’s my first convention that I’m going to as an exhibitor.  If you’re planning on going, please stop by and say hi.  If you weren’t planing on going, now you have a reason to!  You can purchase tickets to the convention at Mid-Ohio-Con’s website.  There will be many great comic book artists and writers there, as well as several celebrities from television and film.
