Transmetropolitan Art

Way back in January I posted my inks for a two page spread I did for the Transmetropolitan Art Book. I have never posted the finished piece...until now! Proceeds from the sale of the book go towards the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. And it would make a great gift. I have a copy, and it's a beautiful hard cover book full of amazing art from a wide range of artists. You can purchase it online at the CBLDF site.

Transmetropolitan Art Book

As I mentioned last time, I'm doing a two page spread pin-up for the Transmetropolitan Art Book. Here's a look at the inks. The colors are almost done, but you won't get to see the finished piece unless you buy the book! Proceeds go to the CBLDF and Hero Initiative. There's a Kickstarter campaign going on right now to help raise money for the production of the book. They've just passed the halfway point, but there's only 27 days left to raise the rest of the money! Please, consider giving to these worthy causes and to help bring this book to life!

Out with the Old

Wow, it's an actual blog post! Yeah, I thought I'd end out the year with one of these rarities. 2010 was a wonderful, confusing, horrible, and strange year for me. I experienced the highest highs and the lowest lows of my life this year. It will certainly be memorable, but I'm more than happy to kick it to the curb and look forward to 2011. I'll be working toward a prosperous and exciting time ahead, and I hope the same for all my friends and family out there.

Of course, I can't finish out the year without showing some sort of art. I'm a little ahead of schedule for my work at IDW, so I'm ending out the year(and starting the next one) with a double page spread I'm creating for the new Transmetropolitan Art Book. It's a fancy new book in which a bunch of artists have been asked to contribute art relating to the world of Transmetropolitan, the comic series by Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson. I've posted just the sketch. I may post the pencils later. If you want to see the finished piece, you have to buy the book! All proceeds from sales of the book go toward the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and The Hero Initiative. They have a Kickstarter campaign to help raise money for production. Check it out here and consider donating!

That's all for now. Enjoy yourselves, be safe during the holiday, and join me in 2011 as I battle to protect the innocent and destroy evil in all it's forms!
