Toxic Crusaders Artwork

There's an old action figure line called Toxic Crusaders…I used to find the action figures at the flea market and wonder what toy line they were from, never could figure it out in the days before Google….Here's a couple of the characters.

Robocop and Aliens

Bishop from Kenner's Aliens toy line

Judge Dredd vs Robocop

Ripley from Kenner's Aliens action figure line

Skull Gun Bunny Artwork

I've been working on some promotional artwork for Skull Gun Bunny. Planning on using this on some of our post cards this year for Pretty Weird. 

Skull Gun Bunny Issue 2 Teaser

Issue 2 of Skull Gun Bunny is coming along. I'm coloring the inks right now. Here's a quick teaser.

Drawings and Sketches

Rachel's working on a series of pen and inks based off of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". Here's her first piece in that series. 

Here's one of Rachel's studies. She's working on a series of dragon sketches, trying to come up with some new characters….

Here's another of Rachel's sketches. She's working on a story that involves immortal samurai….

Monster Racers

This is a random series of drawings that I did last week…I was thinking about Mario Kart and monsters…so I put the two of them together. I took a couple of classic monsters and made vehicles for them to drive in a mario kart type race….Here's Frankenstein's monster in his electric car...

.Here's a Hunchback driving a bell that uses sound to float like a hovercraft. All his little gargoyles spit fire, tar, puke, and other road hazards.

Here's a merman...

Here's a mummified crazy cat lady...

Here's a Vampire Jet...

Here's a zombie dozer...

Emperor's Royal Guards

My sketch from lunchtime today…The Emperor's royal guards...

2014 Art Show Schedule

We're working on our art show schedule for 2014. 

Here are some of the first couple of shows we'll be participating in this spring.

There are some other tentative dates between those events, but these are the ones that are currently set in stone. More updates to come in February.  We've got 12 art show commitments for 2014. Once they get closer, we will post the rest of our schedule. 

New Years Sketches

Soooo….my wife and I have had a slight set back in the productivity of our Pretty Weird Art Business. I just got home this week to find that the water pipes in our house had burst. Our studio flooded and all of the comic book pages that I've been working on for the last couple of months are floating on top of an inch of water….Seeing the inked pages of my comic float by is kinda…sad…Other than that mishap, Pretty Weird has been "Off the Grid" for the Holidays. We're about to restart our weekly art uploads. Rachel's been busy working on "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" artwork and I've been busy working on the inks for the second issue of Skull Gun Bunny. Here are a couple of drawings that escaped our recent flood...

Over the holidays I was drawing the old kenner action figures for the Aliens movies…but most of those are water damaged beyond recognition. I did have one that survived. It's a pretty cool action figure named Atax. It's a colonial marine in a robotic alien suit.

Today on my lunch break I decided to sketch out Professor X vs. Magneto...

I'm finally getting the time to color my ninja turtle sketches from work…hoping to get these done by con season.

NC Comic Con Aftermath

Well, the 2013 NC Comic Con has come and gone. A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our table to chat and to those of you who purchased our comics and artwork. We had a great time visiting the city of Durham for the first time ever. We were amazed at the number of people that attended the show. Can't wait until the next time we visit North Carolina. 

Rachel and I ate the most amazing Chicken and Waffles after Saturday's show. I decided to take a picture of the happy wife enjoying her meal, when I suddenly realized that right behind her were Geoff Darrow and Frank Cho sitting at the bar. 

We had a little laugh about being so close to artistic greatness. I talked with Geoff at the show earlier in the day, but I got the impression he was in a bit of a grumpy mood, so I decided not to accost him at the bar. By the way, the chicken and waffles were the best meal ever. 

We were set up next to artist Doug Cowan! I've loved his artwork for a while without knowing who he was. He was really fun to talk to and he kindly traded a print of Wicket for a drawing of a Gijoe Laser Viper. 

He inspired me to do my own ewok drawing. 

We also set up next to author Pab Sungenis, who kept himself busy during the con by drawing "The World's Crapiest Drawings". He kept me and Rachel entertained throughout the entire weekend. 

NC Comic Con

At 5:30 this afternoon, Pretty Weird Art hits the road to travel to NC Comic Con. We're super excited to get the opportunity to participate in this year's show. Can't wait to meet Geoff Darrow in person (fanboy squeal) and introduce NC citizens to our artwork.

November 9 - 10th

301 W. Morgan St.

Durham, NC 27701
