It's going to be a busy Spring.

Thank you!

Heroes Returned Nine

My returned nine from Topps Heroes set finally arrived this afternoon...big sigh of relief.

The returned cards are part of the payment we receive as artists on the official sets. I had a fantastic time drawing this set and re-watching the series. Now that the strike is over perhaps we can get on with some Heroes goodness!!

Thanks to all for your support!

Steve Gerber 1947 - 2008

More sad news...

Howard the Duck Creater Steve Gerber Dies

On February 16th, 2008, writer and creator of Howard the Duck died at a Las Vegas, Nevada, hospital from complications relating to pulmonary fibrosis.

Gerber's bio (from his official site):

"Best known as the creator of Howard the Duck, Steve Gerber has established a reputation for working at the cutting edge of comics. In a career spanning more than thirty years, Steve has put words in the mouths of virtually every major character in the comic book world — from Superman to Scooby Doo — and his work has appeared under the imprint of almost every major publisher in the field. He has also written extensively in animation and television, and even has a computer book to his credit.
Steve's other comics creations include Nevada (Vertigo Press); Void Indigo (Epic Comics); Sludge (Malibu Comics); Destroyer Duck (Eclipse Comics and Image Comics); Stewart the Rat (Eclipse Comics); A. Bizarro (DC Comics); as well as Foolkiller , Suburban Jersey Ninja She-Devils, and Omega the Unknown (co-created with Mary Skrenes), all published by Marvel Comics. His runs on Marvel’s Man-Thing and Defenders titles and his Phantom Zone miniseries for DC are considered comic book classics. Steve also wrote, edited, and supervised the production of Marvel’s celebrated KISS comic book, based on the goth-glam rock band.
In 1998, Toons magazine asked its readers to vote for the Top 25 animated series of all time. Steve served as chief story editor on two of those series — G.I. Joe (Sunbow Productions) and Dungeons & Dragons (Marvel Productions) — and won an Emmy for his work as staff writer on a third, The Batman/Superman Adventures (WB Animation). Steve also co-created and story edited the animated cult favorite Thundarr the Barbarian for Ruby-Spears Productions.
In collaboration with Beth Slick, Gerber co-authored BBSs for Dummies (IDG Press), a lighthearted manual on computer telecommunications, and an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Steve's newest work is Hard Time, published by DC Comics."

Blue Line Pro Cards - American Cancer Society Charity

My contributions to the Blue Line Charity Event. Thank you! Leah

From the editor of Blue Line Pro:

" Blue Line is sponsoring a Sketch Card Gallery Exhibit on March 8, 2008 at Comics2Games in Florence, Kentucky. This show is open to all artists. Blue Line will send sketch cards for the artist to do their illustrations and Comics2Games will set up the display for the event. The Exhibit will be up all day with a get-together with some of the artists from 5 to 8pm that evening. Then, after the show, the cards will be auctioned on eBay for one week with the proceeds donated to the American Cancer Society.

Cancer has touched the lives and families of so many artists and writers, faced with fighting this terrible disease. So, consider taking the time to illustrate a few cards for a good cause. Blue Line is supplying the sketch cards for the show and will mail blank cards to artists upon request to illustrate for this event.

The cards can feature most any characters (including your own) .


For more information to contact Comics2Games at (859)647-7568 you can contact Jeremy Bell at jeremyb@comics2cars.com on how you or an artist you know can participate in the event for this worthy cause!

Pass the word along to all the message boards, groups, studios. companies, bulletin boards and other outlets you know.

Help the fight against cancer and participate in this sketch card event!

I'm personally going to be doing some cards myself as well as ink some cards here and there, so if you want to pencil one or two for me to ink, just let me know!
