This is a sketch I did during this year’s APE show. Rafael Navarro has been keeping a CAPTAIN AMERICA sketchbook where he asks other people to draw his favourite super-hero, and this was my contribution. In retrospect, I should have drawn Captain America with Barack Obama’s face!

A few years ago I posted my Pin-up of Charles and Edgar, two outrageous characters created by my pal nate Stanton and featured in his contribution to the Afterworks 2 Anthology. This composition here was one of the other ideas I had for that original pin-up and I tidied it up this week as a Birthday present, which I will give him in person, later today.
Happy Birthday, Nate!

Here are the three new original pieces that I did for the latest Maverix Art Auction, which was held last night. In addition to these ink drawings I also submitted three signed and framed prints from my Dad’s Elephant Book.
Over this past week I had rented and watched the original three Star Wars movies, and as I had already been doodling the characters, I decided to tidy up a few and submit them to the show, when I couldn’t think of any better ideas. The LEIA was won by Mike Murnane, The YODA by Hop Matsuo, and the LUKE by Bosco Ng.
I am happy to say that I won some GREAT pieces myself and I will have a full report on the Auction in a few days, when the all numbers are tallied up and the photographs come in…
So Stay tuned!

Frequent visitors to this blog will have noticed that I have Star Wars on the brain at the moment… Here’s a little doodle (3×4 inches) of Princess LEIA done while watching TV last night..
You’ve all no doubt heard of HAN SOLO, but what about his sister; TRUMPET SOLO? (That nugget of internet gold courtesy of CHRIS.)
Some fans of RED SQUADRON made a great, life-sized X-Wing rocket that actually takes off! Not to be outdone, GOLD SQUADRON fans staged their own Y-Wing rocket launch! (Thanks to MICHEAL MAY for these links.)
Behold this neato Darth Vader T-Shirt and also this collection of Star Wars Pixel art. (Sent to me by MR. BKON!)
UPDATE: Here is the FINAL INKED VERSION.
More STAR WARS characters HERE and HERE.

I have some other things that I SHOULD be drawing today but instead I did this sketch of my favourite vampire, and a quick attempt at some colour.
Now that I got Vampirella out of my system (for a while anyway) I can turn my attention back to the other things on my “to-do” list.
The first is a short MS Monster comic story that I am doing for my pals at B-Minus Comics.
I also have to make a picture for the upcoming Alzheimer’s Association charity art auction, at Maverix Studios….
More details on those projects later…

This is a pencil sketch and quick colour pass, for a pin-up of of my good friend, the frighteningly beautiful MS. MONSTER, in her sinister yet slinky NEW bone-suit costume.
If you’ve attended any comic conventions in California over the past few years you may have had a personal encounter with the un-dead beauty herself, or perhaps you’ve caught Ms. Monster’s cable access HEL on ICE TV show or read her comic books. If not, then you will have a chance to meet her when she co-hosts the upcoming SHOCK IT TO ME classic horror movie festival at San Francisco’s historic Castro Theatre on the first weekend in October (also hosted by the equally charming, but markedly less beautiful, Dr Goulfinger). Until then, you can find out all you need to know about Ms. Monster at her website.

I started drawing this silly doodle, of HAN SOLO and his co-pilot CHEWBACCA the Wookie, while sitting at my booth at Comic-Con.
It made my pal Rhode laugh so much that I knew I would have to give this drawing to him when I finished it.
Then I put it aside for a while and then forgot about it altogether, until I found it recently, tidied it up a bit and finally gave it to Rhode for his birthday.

I am writing up my lengthy Comic Con report at the moment, but I am waiting on some photos that I want to add to the report before I post it.
Plus, I actually need to fill out my much-delayed tax return this week, and for a guy who is as feeble with numbers as I am, that takes up more brain power and time than it should…
In the meantime, here is a sketch I did for Irma Navarro, while I sat at the Abismo/Nerve Bomb Comic Con booth.
