Again, sorry for the delay in posting these, I’ve been way too busy keeping the wheels of PKDmedia rolling. I shouldn’t use that as an excuse, but it’s true.
Anywho, here are the sketches that I got from various friends/artists at this years Pittsburgh Comicon. Have a look!
Lando Calrissian by Katie Cook
As I said in my previous post, Katie Cook is well known for her Star Wars artwork so I couldn’t wait to get a Lando sketch from her. She’s one of the few artists I’ve seen that use watercolors in their work, and the end result is beautiful. Plus, you gotta love the quote in this piece! The scan does this art no justice.
The Falcon by Dave Dwonch
My good friend and creator of the Gnome graphic novel (now out in stores!) put together this kick-ass piece of work. I’m not sure what kind of paper he drew this on, but it makes the sketch looks so cool. I love the detail on this one, especially the fro!
Iron Man by Super Ugly
I asked Super Ugly for a sketch of the Old School Iron Man, and he makes the Golden Avenger shine with no delay. The classic look with Super Ugly’s pencils does not dissapoint! The antenna with the communication static around it is great!
Han Solo by Ken Kayode
A cross between anime and conventional art for this rendition of our favorite space rouge. I saw Ken pencilling away at his table and got this sketch with color for only $8. Not bad, huh?
Wonder Woman by Stephanie Gabborin
Being right next to the Angry Gnome Comics booth, I asked Stephanie if I could get a Wonder Woman sketch and she said that she was more than up to the challenge. The last day of the con she hands me this sketch and I was ecstatic. Known for providing artwork for Angry Gnome Comics, one may not expect Stephanie to handle artwork outside of the horror genre, but she does a great job with superheroes too. You should see her rendition of the Joker, it’s nice.
If you ever get the chance to see any of these people at a con you attend, stop by their booth and get a sketch because their art comes from within and the result is a soulful display of art goodness. No lie.
I’ll be back soon. Peace.
