I had a little time the other night to ink a couple sketches of past Character Wednesday posts I neglected.  Get it, " catch up." Sorry for the ultra-lame wordplay.

The first is totally a riff from Blue Beetle #1. Second, is some chick from the X-Men...she's got brain powers or something.

 Very few posts = busy December

I wrapped up a couple DIY christmas presents for my wife's bff.  Wish I could have gotten to the color stage, but alas, Santa only brought me so much time.  Also a big lesson learned; I have to get better about separating with my inks.

Sketched up a quick Conan last night and put some inks on a not-so-new sketch of the Mouse.  I tend to not do cute. I mean, what's cute about taming the wild goat?

Here's a preview of some Panel books that will be going up on Etsy this weekend.  Look back here tomorrow evening for a link.  I'll do a sketch in any and all books ordered...that is, if you want me defacing these small press beauties.  Come on...you know this will bolster your hipster credibility.

Update - Panel 18 is now up for sale in my Etsy store.  I will be adding more volumes and some original art here shortly...hopefully by Turkey Day.

I finished up a new sketch in my LOC sketbook.  LOC is the Library of Congress. As stated in previous posts, I've been using their copyright free Flickr photostream for warmup and break sketches.  You can see all the sketches so far in by clicking the Sketchbook 1 link above.

Update - Added another sketch.

If you don't know about Seagull Bags in Clintonville go here, or here.  Pricey but bombproof and beautiful.  Effing Ohio, why do I love/hate you?

Full-disclosure update - I already own a Seagull bag (see pic), so pining over a new one is both a touch greedy and excessive. My aploogies to myself...the only guy that reads this (according to Google Analytics.)

My middle guy, Brady, wants nothing more than to be a Care Bear for trick-or-treat. The problem my wife and found is that they don't make these type of costumes for 50", 60lb, 5-year olds.  Solution - home made Care Bear costumes.  My contribution will be a couple screen printed tees while Bran handles the other bear parts.  Here's my first pass at the t-shirt design.  I'm doing everything I can to not make myself a Grumpy Bear T.

Update - Shirts ordered from local shop Skreened.  I ended up moving the images up to the chest area. Not as cool, but if Brady wants to wear it post-trick-or-treat, it may go over better not having a tummy graphic.

Reason #1985 - Coming home from work after a (not) long day to be showered with the gift of Thundercats.  Thundercats! Ho! I mean that in the most Chetara as an equal kind of way. Owen (aged 7 years) picked up a Lion-o and Panthro for me today while thrifting for parts to his halloween costume. That boy has potential.

Updated Yet Again - Pics have been replace with finished art - sorry for the low-rez...the milk is only partially free.

Updated Again - I picked up a second story for this book.  I've added the preliminary inks to the gallery.

Updated - Page 2 up.  I'll be adding letters here shortly.

Quick update with the beginning of a story for Panel 18.  More to come.

I sketched this back in 2007.  I remember stumbling on a Flickr group that had pictures of New Yawkers posing with the burning towers from roof tops across town.  I guess I can kind of understand the rational.  I mean did any of us watching on television across the country think it would get worse at this point?  I still remember the absolute gob-smacked feeling when they came down.  It's still outside my realm of comprehension and I've seen the video sooo many times.  It's still just so....sad.

This week's Character Wednesday pick is the super obscure Satan's Robot. Enjoy the quick cell phone pic while I look for time to ink.

Just a little FYI that I posted a new image in on my sketchbook page...it's the nifty link at the top. Or, you can look at the new image here...then look at the previous pages there.  Don't say I never did anything for you.  Continue reading for a pic.

My oldest boy, Owen, recently started first grade.  I was prepared for him bringing home germs and the occassional colorful addition to his vocabulary.  I was not prepare for him to be exposed to things such as Pokemon.  He's now on day two of trying to barter for a binder of cards.  We sat down and sketched out some of his favorites this morning and he spent the rest of the day coloring them in Photoshop.  I'm hoping this is cures his Poke-cravings for the time being.

***I would be more concerned had he not taken to Thundercats so well.***

First pass on new art to adorn the top of my illustrious blog.  It needs some post-scanning composition fiddling and whatnot...more to come.
