Here is a new one that features the ORIGINAL Frank Miller inspired crusty ol' Bats and girly Robin from "The Dark Knight Returns". Keeping with that Eisneresque idea of incorporating the title into the art.
Getting ready for San Diego C-Con next month, will have this print plus plenty others available too!
Here is a new piece that I created in time for the San Jose Super Con this weekend. It features Spiderman and Hobgoblin with an Eisneresque title treatment for the Amazin' one. If you're in the area May 16th and 17th we will be in the San Jose Convention Center South Hall (that big ass tent! Hall my bizutt!) It's the 1st time we been here in 2 years, hope to see all o' yall there!
One of the cooler things that happens when you start exhibiting at comic conventions is you discover artwork which inspires your own creativity from artists you hadn't known about before. My friend Erb told me about a guy she thought I would like whom she was a big fan of; he drew Silver Age Kirby-esque/Steranko-inspired art with his own unique sense of humor and cinematic framing. The artist was Michael Bennett aka Black Light Bennett. Suffice to say I talked his ear off at that Alternative Press Expo in SF and we've been friends ever since.
At the San Diego Comic-con in 2008, I gave Mike a copy of my 1st hardcover book pressing and he told me that he would do a piece inspired by the book. I never thought that he would actually create one! But low and behold, at the 2009 SF Wondercon Mike told me that he created a piece based on the short story I am creating at this very moment, "Scum Bags". Unfortunately he couldn't find the piece during the convention since he was pretty busy. However, today he e-mailed it in jpg form! It's such an honor to finally see it, I am still geekin' out about it! Check out his Web site too when you get a chance to! ENJOY!!...... www.bennettblacklight.com
My Version...
It's the question all Watchmen book nerds will be asking once they leave the theatre! Being the huge Watchmen geek that I am; me an' the Jusscope crew decided that we should honor the most popular character who didn't make the final cut in the film version of Watchmen.
I am really bummed that the ending has been tweaked to remove my good buddy.....the Giant Space Squid:(

R.I.P. Giant Space Squid (1986-2009) We Hardly Knew Yee
Come by and see us in San Francisco at Moscone Center South February 27-28 and March 1st this weekend for Wondercon 2009! Tons of prints and books on sale including my coast to coast Wondercon special print featuring Comedian and Rorschach of Watchmen. We are located in Artist Alley at TABLE 62.
Well, we just returned from our 1st New York Comic-con and we had a great time! Granted we are a little bit tired from the trip but all in all we had a very solid 1st showing on the East Coast. I want to thank everyone who stopped by especially the folks who already knew my work from deviant art. It made me feel like I wasn't such a stranger there after all! Artist alley was pretty cramped up with Jim Lee fans jamming the aisle right across from us. But we had a good time; even got to meet both Method as well as Honky Tonk Man! Whatta combo, huh? Many thanks to our awesome neighbors Brenden and Mike as well! Will post pictures really soon on www.myspace.com/jusscope.
