Been quite a while since I updated this blog so going to make a concerted effort to do more drawing. Just clearing a backlog. This is from a while ago, drawn with a brush pen. I find it very rewarding and quite testing sticking to old world pen and paper and working in a tight space, in this case an A6 sketchpad.Chris aka SuperSurferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16469816092739281987noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897612816552727422.post-40357420682927400752012-10-07T18:31:00.000-07:002012-10-07T18:45:49.476-07:00Sketchbook Fink Angel<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">The Spirit – one of my favourite comic strips. I was fortunate enough to see the 'Will Eisner's New York' exhibition in NYC last year at the <a href="http://www.moccany.org/" target="_blank">Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art</a>. Amongst the artwork on display was an entire comic strip shown with original artwork – stunning! I'm currently reading The Spirit 'Femmes Fatales' collection which I bought for the criminally cheap price of £3 from a local bookshop. </span></div>

I recently bought a brush pen and a cheapo sketchbook as I felt I was neglecting drawing on paper – and when I did draw on paper it tended to be on scraps. I will make a concerted effort to knock these out regularly. The idea of the cheap sketchbook is so that I don't get precious, though the rough paper is a bit of a hindrance. First drawing was Dredd of course. And don't forget, its <a href="http://dreddthemovie.com/" target="_blank">DREDD</a> movie time soon. </div>

I recently received a preview issue of <i>El Bigote: A tequila-drenched reckoning</i> by Matthew McLaughlin and El Chivo. El Bigote is a legendary mustachioed quillslinger who adventures through undead Mexico offing living-dead banditos and skeletal gunslingers. Well I liked it so much I thought I would big it up hear by doodling a bit of reader art. Go see <a href="http://elbigotequillpower.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">elbigotequillpower.blogspot.co.uk</a> and <a href="http://facebook.com/elbigotecomic" target="_blank">facebook.com/elbigotecomic</a> and make sure you get yourself a copy of issue 1 when it becomes available.Chris aka SuperSurferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16469816092739281987noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897612816552727422.post-82075238030843570322012-03-22T18:56:00.002-07:002012-03-22T18:56:49.979-07:0015 minute Dredd #2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My <a href="http://www.2000adonline.com/" target="_blank">2000AD</a> forum <a href="http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php/topic,34797.0.html" target="_blank">advent calendar</a> submission for 2011. The advent calendar is organised by that fine chap Pete Wells (check out his awesome <a href="http://2000adcovers.blogspot.com/">2000AD Covers Uncovered blog</a>). Every day in December members of the forum post a Christmas themed drawing, photo, poem, song or whatever they feel like. I use the calendar as an opportunity to produce a page or two of comic art which is always tricky in the busy Xmas period. I couldn't submit this year's piece due to unforeseen circumstances so I managed to post these pages early on Christmas day so kind of missed the boat – I don't think many people got to see it. Kind of bit off more than I could chew as there were many difficult things I had to draw – these efforts give me the greatest respect for those who produce comics for a living. I spent ages planning this and had to finish it in a rush. By the way, Zombo is a character from 2000AD who is a gentleman zombie created by Henry Flint and Al Ewing.
