Happy Birthday Shayera-Hol...

I did this colored pencil drawing of her about 8 or 9 years ago. Based more on Bruce Timm's version of her than anyone elses.

HAPPY HARLEYDAYS!

Happy Harleyween 2011

What could be better than celebrating Halloween with the Maiden of Mirth?...I started this tradition last year and intend on keeping it going for as long as i feel like keeping it going!

I've been giving my art studio a much-needed overhaul but spent a few nights on this for the holiday. 2H and HB pencils on drawing paper. Ok everybody lets hear a Halloween Happy Harley Squeak, on three...1...2...3...squeee!

Art Nouveau style drawing of DC comics villainess Poison Ivy. I spent the entire month of April working on this nearly everyday. 97 different pencils used from 7 different brands on 18" x 24" vellum surface bristol paper. Some details below...

That was FUN! OK next?

New Artwork...

more fun with Harley Quinn.

I'm not happy with her expression. Its just not intense enough. Otherwise me likey. This could be a fun one to do in colored pencil and if I do I'll certainly up the ante on her gaze and all.

2H and HB pencils on 14" x 17" sketch paper.

New Artwork...

Having fun with Harley Quinn again!

2H and HB pencils on 14" x 17" sketch paper.

I'm sure I'll do this one in colored pencil at some point.

New Artwork...

My first new picture for 2011

Portrait of Selena Kyle a.k.a Catwoman

Title: "Cult of Purrsonality"

I thought she was a good subject to mix in with Egyptian style motifs from the Art Deco period

2H and HB pencils on 18" x 24" drawing paper

I might do a color pencil version of this as well

Harley New Years!

Last new art for 2010

"La Quinn Nouveau"

Isnt she cute?

all colored pencil on approx. 11" x 14" vellum surface Bristol paper

COMICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This past weekend I attended my first comic convention in almost 15 years! I was mostly on the lookout for Silver Age Flash comics, more specifically from the intitial run of issues penciled by Carmine Infantino, #'s 105-174.

#124, I believe to be the 2nd appearance of Captain Boomerang. Flash took an awful lot of shit from that guy, luckily Elongated man was around to help out this time!

#130, I always LOVE when Flash's "Rogues Gallery" makes an appearance! I believe this is the first issue for that!

Issue # 131, the first issue with a Silver-Age Green Lantern crossover! I always loved this cover!

Issue #151 has Jay Garrick, the Golden Age Flash and Shade making an appearance. Awesome cover, Shade is one of the coolest looking of Flash's villains! That is most certainly Murphy Anderson inking Infantino on that one, IMO the greatest penciler-inker team in comics history!

#158 - Flash becomes the "One Man Justice League"!

#118, I didnt find this at the convention, this was a gift from my very good friend Mr Door Tree. The lead story is Infantino/Anderson and it's a beauty! Thank you Mr Tree!

I also found a dealer with a big stack of Harley Quinn issues all priced at 50 cents a peach, sooooooo....

This cover is SILLY!

All in all it was great fun to be at one of these conventions again but I have to say I was a bit appalled at how disorganized some of the dealers kept their stuff. I would think in this economy they'd do eveything possible to make going through stacks of comics easy and fun - not a chore, not sifting through a box with DC, Marvel, Darkhorse etc, etc, all mixed together and nothing priced!!!

Anyhoo, now I have 33 issues left to get to have the entire run of Flashes I want but a lot of them are the early ones and are way more pricey *sigh*

and to think years ago I had this whole run plus 2 of the Flash Showcase issues as well....oh man, I could cry!!!

I think I will...but secretly!

New Artwork...

Yup, another Harley Quinn!

Awwww now isnt she sweet!

Title: "Stuck in the Middle"

as in "Clowns to the left of me, Joker's to the right, here I am....."

as in "Ever listen to K-Billy's super sounds of the 70's?"

Colored pencil and Neo Color II crayons on 14"x18" museum board.

It's for sale - you like it, you buy it!

I'd like to say I'm all Harley-ed out for now but I have ideas for 2 more pictures of her so....

New Artwork...

Just in time for Harley-Ween!

Inspired by Mucha's "Moon and Stars" series, I took a slightly less serious approach. Colored Pencil and Neo Color II crayons on 15"x31" museum board. Many thanks to the model Rachel. The figure study was posted sometime ago but I really didnt know what to do with it, so I put it aside and went onto something else. Eventually these things work themselves out, usually when I'm not actually trying to think of it.

This is just an Art Nouveau warm-up for the picture of Poison Ivy that I'm working on....see me in about 2 months!

New Artwork...

Another Harley Quinn drawing...she's fun!

Isnt she sweet?

I was really just doodling in my sketch book and came up with this, but I liked it enough to scan it, print it out larger and rework it as a finished sketch to be done in colored pencil at a later date.

HB, 2B and 8B pencils on 14" x 17" sketch paper
