The Baroness

I know what you're going to say... Damn, you really want to be Craig Rousseau. And I say thee nay! (sorry, I've been reading a lot of Essential Thor) Then I say thee... um, I'd tell you, there are worse people to want to be. Come on, the guy does awesome work, and if you haven't picked up Image/Beckett Comics "The Cobber's Monster", or his creator owned book "the Perhapanauts", you should check them out! Anyway... you will say I stole this technique from Craig... I say again nay!!! When I was doing T-Shirts in Maryland (6 years ago) I was working on a Peanuts line of shirts (yep, I did ol' Block head shirts for a while) and one of the things we did a lot of was color pencil on black board, gave you a cool look and we'd touch it up w/ a little airbrush and photoshop after. Anyway, I did this for years, never thinking "man, this would be cool if I did it w/ superheroes!?!?" AND please dont' get me wrong, I'm not at all trying to steel Craig's thundar (and a mighty thunder it is!!!) he's a friend of mine, and every time I do one of these I feel bad, like I'm tryin' to butt in on what he started (I say all this knowing full well that Craig reads my blog every once in a while).

So, here she is... the Baroness... her face/hair is horrible, I'm not sure how she's levitating off that wall... um... if you want to see this done right go here : http://www.craigrousseau.com/gallery.html

I love you Craig, and I'm sorry if I at all have offended you w/ this post ...

Cover to upcoming book

Here's the cover to a book I'm WRITING!!! Yeah, that's right, I'm doing the character designs and writing a book... crazy world we live in... I'll keep you updated when I get an artist and more info.

July Update

Hi everyone (if anyone reads this thing :)

Well, just finished the pulp illustrations, now I'm on to a top secret project, can't say yet what it is, but I'll keep you posted when I can. In the mean time, rising from the ashes of the PBBZ comes the best comic store you've never been to, the new home of Johnny Raygun.... Jetpack Comics!
