another sketch from the fan appreciation show that i was part of back in april!

long title, but it gets the point across;

here are a couple of doodles that i did over the weekend, of which the recipients were kind enough to send me an image back.

the first (which was i think my first doodle of the show) is of luna moth (uhm - i think, a character from the escapist) and the other is of stargirl… uhm i think again, i’m terrible at this.

cheers!

an uncoloured page from part 2 of the wildcat arc in jsa classified issue 36, which hit shelves last week!

well it seems 2008 has arrived and i haven’t updated since october of 2007, sad, very sad.

well first off, HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all who might actually still be perusing this blog!

so, what have i been up to? well, it’s been a busy year since the end of last summer’s convention season. first there is the weekly webcomic i do with rob coughler; BUTTERNUTSQUASH, which is thankfully on hiatus wit hsome great guest strips by some of the industries sooper talents! please check it out if you can!

i also launched KUKUBURI my solitary venture into webcomics. we’re just about to hit the halfway mark in the story, so if you haven’t done so yet please give it a read

aside from other corporate work (some pinup girls, a children’s storybook) which i’ll share once i can, i’ve also been working on a three issue story for DC’s JSA: CLASSIFIEDS starring WILDCAT! written by a man i’ve been itching to work with for ages (ever since i read HAWAIIAN DICK) the talented B. Clay Moore and coloured by Dave McCaig (of NEXTWAVE and THE OTHER SIDE fame) this comic has been a joy to work on!

the first issue of the arc will be hitting stores on FEBRUARY 27th, so please contact your local comic’s retailer and get them to order you a copy of JSA: CLASSIFIED #35 and make DC happy and myself look good

below is a sneak peek from issue one.

thanks for the support!

cheers,

ramon.

earlier this summer i designed and did the artwork for a local convention’s badges. being canadian, and the con (the paradise toronto comicon) being primarily superhero oriented i we decided to use alpha flight to create signature badges akin to what adam hughes did for heroes con.

i was quite happy with the badge design and art, so i thought i’d finally share. cheers.

a doodle a did in my spare time earlier this year. i had planned on colouring it - but i have no spare time now

i haven’t said much, but i think clay has been spreading the word, and jusging from a few comments on other posts, i’m pretty sure he has. the big doozie of a project on my plate right now is a 3 issue wildcat (aka the loveable ted grant) arc in jsa:classified written by the adorable b. clay moore!

i am peniclling and inking the run myself. clay has written a fantastic script and i’m having a riot doing the art… i’m not sure what the ethics are on posting pencils and such, so i’m going to avoid that for now, but i will post a couple versions of wildcat that i did up to try out for the book…

just prior to the new year i ended up doing a bunch of submission pieces for marvel comics. i’ve posted a few already; spider-man and doc strange. amongst the request from marvel was my take on the fantastic four…

a con sketch with a dash of colour!

whenever i’m st a con it is inevitable that i will at some point be asked if i were working in comics what character would i love to draw. i have a pretty short list - and doc strange is on it.

happy new year all!

bit late in the new year for my first update. but better late than never. from now on i’ll try to update this puppy once a week, let’s aim for wednesdays

here’s a doodle of our friendly neighbourhood hero i did a couple months ago!
