a lobster, a floating head, and a beast of the apocalypse walk into a bar...

The three sketches I hid last week at The Beguiling, in Toronto, for #artdropday. Two of them are still there.

number five : black and white

The last issue of Get the Lobster is out next wednesday, and a color preview has popped up, so here's a few of the pages in black and white:

out tomorrow - number four

This one was delayed because of the move overseas, but it's the most packed and crazy issue so far, except maybe the next one - hope you like it! Here's the cover process:

Stacking up nicely with last year's Abe, here's Hellboy, done for Multiversity's "31 days of Hellboy". Just like last year, they're running a competition that you should check out, if you draw. And surprisingly, as with Abe, I'm happy with how this one turned out. Let's see how it goes next year...

March 22 - Hellboy Day

To celebrate the first twenty years of Hellboy, Dark Horse has organized a bunch of events on March 22, at stores around the world -- full list here. I'll be signing in Toronto, at The Beguiling, so come say hello!

GTL #4 cover

Get the Lobster #1

Get the Lobster #1 is out this Wednesday! Here's the link to a color preview, and below are a couple of black and whites. Hope you pick it up-- this one is way crazier than anything so far.

GTL! #1

The cover of the first issue of the next series, out early next year. As a friend dubbed it, "The Soundgarden cover". I also did the hand-lettered title for this one, separate from the main image. Here's the sketch for it:

HB20

During the German tour last month at least a hundred requests were "Hellboy" -- so here's is one of them, "Hellboy climbing a mountain". Thematically appropriate and just in time for the anniversary! Drawn in a scary 12"x18" sketchbook (at least), but the figure itself is maybe three inches tall. 

(Will post more tour drawings when I get a chance to sort through the photos.)

a scent of lotus

Two covers I did for the upcoming Lobster Johnson: A Scent of Lotus #1 and #2, drawn by Sebastian Fiumara, along with the original thumbnails for them. (The original art for the dark one will be for sale pretty soon too, over at Splashpageart - I'll make a new post when it's up)

abe

an Abe Sapien piece I did for "31 Days of Abe". (If you draw, you should really consider entering the competition they're running- there's still some time left) Very happy with how this one turned out.

caput mortuum: black and white

...is out in exactly two weeks (september 19). since the color preview is up, here's the black and white one as well:

the creep #3

No longer unused. The cover for John Arcudi's and Jonathan Case's "The Creep" #3, out in November from Dark Horse Comics. It's a very good book, so you should check it out.

lobster johnson: caput mortuum

the one-shot has been announced (as well as the trade paperback of The Burning Hand), so here's the cover for it. colored it myself again. this one just appeared whole, out of nothing... and it's pretty close to the original thumbnail too, even down to the stiff shoulders:

lobster johnson: the prayer of neferu, black and white

--and here's the black and white original.
