Avengers

Daniel Kibblesmith won the commission I donated to 826CHI, and asked if I'd write a story about seeing the new Avengers movie. I met Daniel after appearing on The Late Live Show, where I made a joke about 3D movies and why I don't want to see them. I decided I should go see the Avengers in 3D, of course.

Rabbit Process

Here's a short video by Amy Do, director of the documentaryRabbit Fever, about the process of designing the film poster. She's also holding a contest where you can win a copy of the Process minicomic - find the details here. You can buy the poster here.

While I'm at it, I should mention you can also head over to the Covered blog to see my version of the cover to X-Men #192, part of the Secret Headquarters Covered art show.

More Merry Marvel Madness

The first comic book I bought was issue 192 of The Uncanny X-Men. Here's a scan of a drawing I'm working on based on the cover. I also wrote a short piece about the impact this comic had on me, over at Fanboy Fables.

And if you're in Chicago, you can bring your copy of Strange Tales #3 to Third Coast Comics where I'll be signing this Saturday, from noon to 5PM.

Childhood Dream: Check.

My childhood dream was to draw for Marvel Comics. When Marvel announced their Strange Tales series, I thought I might finally achieve that dream. Thanks to some lucky breaks, it happened. You can pick up the issue in comic stores today. Above is the evolution of the story, from thumbnail to complete with colors.

Hulk

Here's a drawing I did of the Marvel Comics character Hulk, for the March of Dimes fundraiser at the western Washington comic shop Comic Evolution. The auction is on July 18th, so if you're in the pacific northwest and can make the trip, stop by, there'll be art from over 70 artists.
