Sketch O’The Week

I was sorry to hear of the passing of actor Rutger Hauer yesterday. “Blade Runner” is probably my favorite Sci-Fi movie of all time, or at least in the top three. He was one of the big reasons. He could have played the role of Roy Batty as a cartoonish villain, but he imbued him with more humanity than most of the human characters in the film had. I know his career was a LOT more than that film, but that was an iconic performance. Anyway he fits perfectly into my “classic action heroes” series except for the hero part… but I don’t care! RIP… READ MORE

I’m starting a new series for the “Sketch o’the Week”… classic action heroes! First up is Bruce Willis from 1988’s “Die Hard”. As always, the original of this sketch is available in the Studio Store. READ MORE

I have to cop out this week on a new SotW because… BUSY. However here’s a look at a rare revision on a splash page for MAD. It’s especially relevant since this show just ended a few weeks ago. I don’t often have to do more than minor revisions for my MAD stuff, because the MAD staff knows what to expect from me and I know what they are looking for. Every once and awhile we have differing opinions on what works and what does not. This was the pencil rough for the splash page of MAD‘s parody of “The Big Bang Theory” from MAD… READ MORE

A little late today, but here’s a sketch of Keanu Reeves as “John Wick” from the movie series of the same name. Original available in the Studio Store as usual. READ MORE

I did this drawing of Alfred E. Neuman as a rare commission for someone today–brush pen and marker on 9×12 bristol. Since today is Wednesday I thought I’d post it as the “Sketch o’the Week”. Then I thought I’d offer to do a limited number of Alfred drawings just because. So, for the outrageous price of $60 (plus shipping) you can be the proud owner of one of 12 original drawings of MAD‘s Chief Idiot. Order quick, when they are gone they’re gone. READ MORE

This is an old one of Eddie Van Halen, as I am too busy to do a new SotW this week. I did this one as a park sample back in 2008, but I also posted a step by step of the sketch study at that time, so here that is: READ MORE

I’m busy and on the road (again) today so it’s a flashback SotW this week. I guess some TV show of some kind starring Lena Headey came back with a new episode or something this past Sunday? Hard to keep track of that kind of thing, but here are two sketches I did of Ms. Headey that were years apart. The one on the left is from her title role in the short lived “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” from 2008, and the other is from that little known show she’s in now, done in 2014. I guess her chin got bigger over those six… READ MORE
