John Lees "The Standard"

It is not often that an independent comic book comes along that is fuul of great story, Artwork, Characters you can care about, villains that are truly wicked, Plot twist and real emotion.  The Standard however is one such comic book.  With the with the excellent talents of Mr. John Lees he has managed to capture the nostalgia and fun of comics from the golden age and repackaged it for a modern audience.  The story revolves the retired Standard who must come out of retirement and solve the mystery of his successors death , His once former sidekick.  It is a great story with excellent pacing and not one to be missed.  The artwork is done by up and coming superstar Johnathan Rector and he delivers on all fronts his fresh artwork is perfect for this book as he molds golden age style art and story telling with the modern flair that current comic book aficionados look for. 
I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it highly.  I've met Mr. Lees and he is an energetic and passionate creator comics needs more creators like this.  Beside that his accent is absolutely killer as he hails from Glasgow, Scotland.  In tribute and honor to this great character and comic I've done a watercolor piece of the title character. Enjoy!!

Rob Liefeld's Prophet

Did this ink wash and conte crayon of Extreme Studio character Prophet created by Rob Liefeld. Had fun doing this focusing on just through down washes in gesture strokes for a spontaneous feel. I do this every once in a while to break up the tenderness of doing finished comic pages.

THE RED TEN #2

The Red Ten #2 officially goes on sale February 29th, 2012.  The book is currently at the printers as i blog.  This book was a step up from our first issue all thanks to the great story by fellow co-creator Tyler James and the addition of Vic Moya to handle inking duties.  We also brought on board Gus Ucha straight from Argentina and he did an awesome job on the coloring and effects for the second issue.  Both Tyler and myself are very happy with the finished product and believe that we are working on a story that will be talked about for awhile in the Indy and general comics market for a long time.
