Happy Birthday Herge.

My early efforts in digital inking on the cintiq. I used this sweet new digital sumi brush to do Charles’ hair. And the Knicks hung in there last night so maybe more JR Smith jokes come Tuesday? I haven’t decided yet.
Captain Fantabulous is the worst kind of hoops fan. Except for maybe Lakers fans.
If you don’t know who Charles Ramsey is, shame on you.

Lucas Ranch, Marin County, CA.
Got a tour of the Lucas Ranch a few months ago when my dude Jake was working there on some movies. All these pics are from the Skywalker Sound Tech building. That’s George’s house in the back. There is an actual lake called Ewok Lake. And those are the original audio tracks for Terminator 2 AKA the best action movie ever. And academy awards for Jurassic Park and some other whatevers. I’m told they sell whine to the employees made from the vineyards on the ranch. Not Pictured: The 2 ridiculous giant wooden Native American statues at the head of James Hetfield’s driveway. Which is just down the street.

Star Wars Manga.
I had forgot all about these until about a month ago and then I became obsessed with tracking this down.
A dude who lived in my house first year of Kubert School had all of them. Each movie was done by a different artist spread out across a few volumes. And all with badass Adam Warren covers. But I liked the New Hope ones by Hisao Tamaki best.
The first lightsaber duel never looked so good. I would also invite you to marvel at the lettering by Tom Orzechowski.
It’s a shame these are no longer in print. Dark Horse should do some omnibuses.

Deep cuts Paul Bearer joke in this week’s comic. And I’m not even a wrestling fan.
The Chicago Bulls did what Latrell Sprewell couldn’t and choked out PJ Carlesimo and my Nets.
That Sprite commercial was huge for my crew back in the day.
RIP Mac Daddy.

I have this whole Japanese book of videogame logos from companies like Capcom and Bandai. I’ve never heard of PULSEMAN before but this logo is fantastic. The lighting bolt S is great and the shapes inside the A are interesting and don’t distract from the rest of the design. Good stuff.

World’s Greatest Laffs keep on rolling…
My coat is made from only the finest Wookie pelts.

This is an incredible mix of Ghibli, Evanagelion, Nausicca, and Kaiju. Too cool.
Studio Ghibli collaborated with Anno Hideaki (Director of Evangelion) on a rather uncharacteristic short for the typically 2D oriented studio, featuring a Kaiju (怪獣 ‘Strange beast) destroying Tokyo. Featuring a giant sized Kyoshinei creature from Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind, the short was premiered along with the theatrical release of the 3rd installment of the Rebuild of Evangelionseries, 3.33. Based off what we know this sequence is a 1:1 recreation of the apocalypse as seen in the Nausicaa manga, which served as the introduction to the film.

The poster on the right is a mobility scooter I was going to make a Kobe Bryant joke about. I’m hoping people know who Chris Bosh is because the likeness I drew in the last panel is uncanny.
If you don’t know who Chris Bosh is, google him or JURASSIC PARK or RAPTOR. It’s all pretty much the same thing.

Iron Man #1-6 Variant covers.
I got to design some IRON MAN variant covers. The folks at Marvel wanted to give me different armor sketches from the artist and I was to come up with some sort of “Tony Stark drawing board” concept to show them off. I figured Tony Stark would have developed some sort of tablet app he would use for stuff like this. Like a sketchpad with engineering elements built into it. I called it starkSKETCH. So I built these covers to serve as a look into the Iron Man armor sketchbook. Carlo Pagulayan did the armor art for the first five issues and Steve McNiven did the art for issue 6. Kieron Gillen helped out with some of the handwritten notes too.
