Erin Round 28: TOR

Since my art background is not as comic book influenced as the rest of the RMBC, I am sad to say that the first I heard of Joe Kubert was only a few weeks ago when he passed.

Boys? A little help here? I would like to know about these greats before they are all gone. Moebius was another one that I wish I learned about years ago. Someone please give me the comic book education I missed out on.

Anyway, I know that comic illustrators are the best draftsmen out there and Kubert was no exception. I loved studying his work online, but my favorite is his lanky prehistoric Tarzan-like character: Tor. Here he is reading a comic with a dinosaur in ink on bristol board.

OH, by the way.... 200th POST, B*****s! Here's to 2000 more!

Week 17: Ira Spidermen, call your MOTHER!

Cut paper and string!

I chose Spiderman because is the 2nd most bendiest of the superheros.


Go see this and the other RMBC comic covers LIVE at Carol and John's comic shop on Saturday, May 5th (Starting at Midnight!) Rumor is that you can even take some home...

Week 4: Ba-Dum Dum!

I don't know about you, but Levar Burton had a huge impact on my childhood. Reading Rainbow was - and is - a GREAT show. It brought a love of books to millions of kids, including me, and to this day remains one of the most solid children programs out there. I can still recite every word of that theme song by heart. The shape of books may be changing but Levar's message is still just as essential as it was in the nineties: Books are MAGICAL so keep READING. ...But you don't have to take my word for it!

By the way, my illustration this week is just a super quick photoshop sketch because....

THIS Friday! See you there!
