Let's Be Friends Again

Let’s do this thing by the numbers..

1) I went ahead and coloured that Scott Pilgrim & Superman high-fiving sketch Bryan Lee O’Malley did for me.
I hope you do not think that I have ruined it.

2) A big thanks to The Daily What and the rest of you friends and fans for the links on the new strip. Truly, the Muppets stir something inside us that is universal.

3) An even bigger thanks to Rich Johnston at Bleeding Cool for plugging the book, for saying our comics are “rather good”, and comparing the “Good Intentions” strip to Perry Bible Fellowship. For doing all of this we will forgive that he left the “again” out of “Let’s Be Friends Again”.

4) Speaking of the book, our Master Designer, Dylan Todd, has created a new banner ad for the book, and it should be showing up over there to your right… but for some reason it is sporadically not showing up. Hopefully, that will be cleared up soon.

5) This is the “she” the latest strip is referring to.

6) And finally, here is another sketch for one of the cool people that played my Twitter Halloween guessing game.
It is intended to be Indiana Jones. I believe he is running away from the coyote from the Roadrunner cartoons.

As requested, here is Deathstroke..

This was another sketch for another one of the cool people that played my Twitter Halloween guessing game.

I actually had all of these sketches done within a few days of Halloween, but I was trying to pace myself with posting them, and then Curt and I both have been having internet problems for the last week or two.

I got inspired by Brandon Schaefer (and this Flickr group) to try my hand at designing some fake movie posters.

Well, I mean, they’re not for fake movies. Superman: The Movie is a real movie.

My design is a take on the classic original poster.

I don’t think I’m particularly adept at this sort of thing, but it was still fun to give it a try. I’m happy to hear what you think.

Here it is with the (almost) same credit trappings and what not as the original.

Commission sketch for a Let’s Be Friends Again reader.
This was like 8×10 or so, I think.
Obviously more detailed than the little freebie sketches I did for my Twitter guessing game since money was involved.

Superfriend Evan “Doc” Shaner used his incredible coloring skills on this Superboy Prime commission I did a while back.

For this and many other reasons, he is awesome.

We’re not particularly good at doing such things, but maybe we will try to do a proper write-up of our STAPLE! 2010 experience.
Short version is : Awesome.

Until then, why not look at a few of the sketches I did for people who bought our book?

Click on them to check out larger versions (if you’re into that kind of thing).

If you met us there, please leave a comment or drop us an email, and if you bought our book and I did a sketch in it, please feel free to take and send us a picture of it.

I seriously hope that little kid I drew Deadpool for is reading this. Apparently, little kids love Deadpool.

I did this one for the kid of a friend of a friend who was having to spend some time in the hospital.

I don’t recall ever having drawn Deadpool before, but when someone says a drawing of the guy might brighten a sick kid’s day, I am happy to take a shot at it.

As some of you may have witnessed, we were at Mid-South Con (and not ECCC) pretty much all weekend, and though we would have surely loved to have been in Seattle, MSC was a lot of fun too.

I was on a “quick sketch” panel, that involved people shouting out ideas for the artists on said panel to try to draw as quickly as possible with all of the art then going into the charity auction. Here are two of my contributions. (Click for bigger versions.)

Batman with a Green Lantern ring and R2-D2 versus a Dalek.
I hope whoever bought these liked them.

Last week on Twitter, I endeavored to see if between myself, my friends, and online strangers, we could drink 100 beers in one evening. (If you’re on Twitter, feel free to search out the hashtag #100beers to see how it all went down.)

In the midst of this I asked people to “shout” suggestions for me to sketch while drinking.

This was one of them.

It is Blue Devil. With a handlebar moustache.

I hope you are happy, @dwolkin.

I think we all know what happened this weekend.

To celebrate why not have a look at another collaboration between superfriend Evan “Doc” Shaner and myself, wherein Evan uses his fantastic coloring skills on a sketch of mine.

If you don’t know who the the Doctor is (this specifically being the Ninth Doctor), you should really get to work on that.
