Want me to turn this up for ya?

Decided to throw a little color in my brush pen experiments. And why not, old school, limited color screen print style!?  

Fun times at Great Lakes

Had a lot of fun at Great Lakes Brewery's 2nd Annual Comic Book Heritage night!  Drew comics with my friends for appreciative people, met Derf and generally got to nerd out for a few hours.  A great night was had by all!  Thanks to Great Lakes Brewery and Carol and John's Comics for the event.

Here are a few of my warm ups and sketch covers. Enjoy!

     

Ben: Free Comic Book Day Preview!

Free Comic Book Day is coming up and the Monsters are going to be all over the place!  In keeping with the rest of the crew, I'm also sharing my piece for the gallery show.  I wanted to draw some of my favorite characters from the period when I read Marvel Comics.  Had a good time with this one.

Wk 17: Say Hello to my little friend!

I have yet to see Scarface all the way through but I've seen enough to do this.  I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this mash up but Mr. Fixit version of hulk as Scarface because it seems absolutely natural (although cocaine + Hulk sounds absolutely horrifying).  The step after Hulk as Scarface is inevitably what do you do with the quote, "Say Hello to my little friend"?  Thanks to Jim's Sabertooth cover and good old Wolverine #8,

 

the punchline for the back cover came to mind.

By the end of this sketch I came to the conclusion I need to draw way more comic characters.
