More Boston sports Zombies

Did these up for the upcoming issue of Hellbound 2 (more on that later). So in the meantime I thought I would show them off here.

Zombie Adam Vinatieri just happy to have some brains



and Zombie Larry Bird eating Dr. J.



Keep an eye out for Hellbound 2 from the Boston Comic RoundTable amongst other groups that I don't know of yet.

p.s. Sorry Mom, I know you don't like these.

Elric killing a many-mouthed monster




Swamp Thing with his buddy




Captain America with either his shield or a big yo yo, your choice




Harley Quinn finally taking care of Batman




Here's the Flash facing his greatest enemy



and some downsides to his powers

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...



Fish Stick Guy as a Zombie



Fish Stick Guy knocking out the Gorton's Fisherman (this one was originally a parody of the cover of Captain America #1 where he is knocking out Hitler).

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.

The Further Adventures of the Cat From Outer Space!




So I'm currently in the middle of two projects that I'm not really allowed to talk about publicly. So to keep up appearances, here is a page to the comic, The Further Adventures of the Cat from Outer Space!

This started up with me wanting to draw some aliens, and after reading my new zombie books that Ashley got me for Valentines day I've been in the mood for some gore. Once I finished the first panel I was trying to figure out what could come to fight these jerks and I was trying to figure out some kind of cute critter to go juxtapose the blood and guts. With this I remembered the Disney movie "The Cat from Outer Space."



I had never heard of this movie until Ashley had it on one day. So I figured this was, and will continue to be, what this cat does in outer space when he isn't visiting earth and getting into wacky misadventures, just flying around space kicking ass and taking names! And a special point for anyone who knows this movie, you'll notice that the space station is named after General Stilton (thanks imdb).

There was going to be some more to the story along with some color but I really aught to focus on those other two projects, not to mention that this is a Disney character and this blog is about as much as I can do with it (knowing them I could still get sued somehow). But I will show you what I have colored so far...

An Interview with me

the AIB illustration/animation blog just did an interview with me. So here it is if you would like to check it out...

Here is a link to the interview



p.s. for a new animation that has blown me away I would now add in Madagascar, Carnet de Voyage,(this is not the cartoon about the lion and penguins or whatever) Buy this on itunes, it's worth the 1.99
