Wash Drawings

Last night I had a blast creating lots of wash drawings (with black goash) and then brought them into the computer and added some color. Here they are…

And here are my favorites….

First off a Zorro like hero sweet talking a lovely girl in the garden. It’s was first penciled and then partially inked with lots being filled in with a brush. Then more lines were added on top. Below is the original black and white art and the digitally colored version.

Then I tried my hand at doing some fan art. I decided to try to get a brushed look like Tim Sale achieves by painting and then upping the contrast. It helps that my scanner is pretty fast making getting the art into the computer a cinch. I am quite fond of the superman in the first piece.

Fellow bay area artist Alex Schumacher has revealed some new artwork on his My World is Funnier blog. It seems he is working on a superhero comic book where his original goal was to do comic strips. Check out his sneak peek image HERE.

FREE MEDIA?!!

I don’t regularly read the comic strip Diesel Sweeties, but through a link at another blog I saw this gem on free internet media and entitlement. Sums up a lot of attitude folks have about entertainment. Check it out here.

Silicon and the Mysterious Badge Ribbons

While at Silicon 2007 this weekend (October 5-7) I stumbled upon something new…Badge Ribbons. OK, they aren’t new, but they seemed more prevalent then before to me.

Badge Ribbons are small award ribbons with a strip of adhesive that are designed to be attached to the back of a convention badge. I am sure they originally were there to label some folks that were winners of contests or to let you know folks with a special title, but at a convention like Silicon 2007 the badge ribbons seem mostly used to either promote a group or event or to let others know you met some convention personality. There were many youngsters running around with over 20 of these ribbons on their badge. I received mine (above) mostly from parties I attended. One gent gave me the +10 and of Doom badges and I added another badge in-between to get a RPG funny.

The badge ribbons are geeky, but there is something very cool and personal about them. I wonder if I could sell more stuff if I gave some Badge Ribbons out? Hmmmmmmm.
