Fish Stick Guy and it's Awesome Cover!



My buddy Steve Grzesik created the comic Fish Stick Guy, which I did the cover for (and some pinup art inside) and he will be selling the fabulous issue #1 at Boston Comic Con this weekend (April 30th and May 1st, if your reading this in the future sorry you missed the show but I hope things are working out well with the hover boards and jet packs). You can also pick up a copy up at Larry's Wonderful World of Comics (see past blogs about his shop) Larry's I should mention, put the whole project together along with buddies from their weekly drink and draw.

The cover itself is a parody of the famous Iron Man cover "Demon in a Bottle!"



This issue is instead titled "Demon in a Frialator!"

I will be at Boston Comic Con helping to promote the comic and I hope to see you there, unless your in the future and if so can I borrow your hover board this weekend?

Here are the pin ups...

Some Drawings from Larry's Drink and Draw

Larry's Wonderful World of Comics up in Lowell (the same guys who hooked me up with Skull Kickers, and the same place where you can buy a copy of South Pole, here is their website ) has a Drink and Draw every Wednesday. Each night they will have a theme that is connected to a comic coming out that week or to go along with a comic that they are promoting (more on this later).

So that being said here are some sketches that I have done up...

Here is Super Dinosaur (the new comic by Robert Kirkman)



The Mighty Thor



The Thing



Dr. Doom using Mr. Fantastic as a trampoline



Godzilla meets Johnny Rocket (this one was in competition with another shop, I guess one of the guys at that other shop was the creator of Johnny Rocket, so we had Godzilla attacking his guy)



and a sketch of Venom



More to come

updates and zombies


Amongst a bunch of projects I've been up to lately I've updated my website, weeding out some filler, adding new stuff, etc. So after you read this go check it out.

My site

Along with this while I was going through stuff to put up I rediscovered an illustration I was commissioned to do (does it count as commissioned if it's my brother?) of Carlton Fisk as a zombie from back in 2009 shown here...



I thought I would add to this and make the another famous Boston sports moment into a zombie, so here's Bobby Orr



sooner or later I'll have one up for the Patriots and Celtics and if your lucky the Boston Blazers.
