826 Valencia Field Trip artwork: The adventure of the French Veggies.

Today was the first 826 Valencia field trip of the year in which I work with a school group to illustrate a story they write as a group. Now, I won’t post the whole story like some folks have done (I am lazy I guess), but I will show you the drawings I created.

The story is of a French, blue, carrot named Jon. He lives in a mushroom with Tom the tomato. Now Jon has a crush on the evil rotten peach who wants to take over the garden. The carrot love to play Ro Sham Bo (Rock, Scissors, Paper).

The plotting rotten peach send our hero a gift that is the remains of his brother Jim, now a jar of carrot juice.

Linda Medley and Castle Waiting in France

I just read on the Fantagraphics Blog (the Flog!) that the artist and author of Castle Waiting is in France for the release of her Graphic Novel. She is also nominated for an award at the convention in Angouleme. Congratulations Linda!

After this it will be on to Angouleme, where CHATEAU L’ATTENTE is a nominee in contention for best French language graphic novel of the year.

As many of you know, I am a huge fan of Castle Waiting and recommended it to everyone I meet. The artwork is fantastic and the story in intriguing and detailed. What more can you ask for?

Her story continues in comic magazines which will be combined into a novel later this year (in time for the San Diego Comic Con I hope).

Below is her latest cover for the upcoming issue #10.

Ultraman on his Scooter

Ultraman on his cool hot rod trike. I was inspired by this Batman image by Dan Zettwoch. This was drawn with gouache and tweaked in Photoshop. Check out all his stuff on his blog, really cool, really fun.

SDCC 07 Pirate Panda

This piece was drawn at the San Diego Comic Con 2007 last July. It’s a sketch xeroxed onto card stalk and then colored with Watercolors. Not a perfect drawing, but that was a lot of fun to do.

I would like to re-do this piece as a finished illustration this year.
