BLACKSAD

I wanted to do some quick study sketches of Blacksad ( Guarnido's art just makes my eyes rain! ) in my sketchbook and, y'know how sometimes you stumble onto a really fun drawing session and it goes much further and gets more involved than you'd originally intended?

Yeah, this was one of those times!

I very rarely ink my pencils ( translation: NEVER! ) but I thought I'd give this a go. Threw in some ColErase red pencil for good measure.

MEA CULPA & A NEW PROMISE

No, contrary to popular belief, I am still alive and kicking which is more than I can say for this sketchblog! Mea maxima culpa! I wish I could say that my hectic lifestyle just doesn't afford me the time it takes to make the art, scan the art, tweak the art, re-scan the art, and finally post the art. The truth of the matter is that I had grown lazy in updating -- 3 months between entries is inexcusable (That's what she said! ... sorry, I couldn't help myself)!

Well that stops NOW!

Here is my new promise (I figure if it's written down it'll be harder for me to renege on it and anyone from the interweb foolish enough to be visiting this blog can call me on it!):

I promise to update this blog at least once a week with my sketches, scrawlings and sordid samples of silly scribbles

(that last little bit of alliteration was my tip of the hat to Mr. Stan Lee). And if I falter then any of you can call "Shenanigans" on me and hold me accountable. Deal?

The following are the prints I did for FanExpo 2010; it's the annual comic book convention that happens here in Toronto the last weekend of August.
