Gal Friday: Power Girl

Well... I did draw a few more sketches at Hurley Con, including a Dorothy from Lost Girls and a Brother Voodoo, but since I didn't get scans of them how 'bout we break things up a bit with another "Gal Friday"?
This Power Girl sketch was done for one of the fine gents who work at my local comic book store, Fantasy Shop.

Speaking of gals, please be sure to drop by Lunchnotes. It's my lovely wife Laura's blog of the notes I draw and stick in her lunch bag each day.

(my) Gal Friday: Lulu

I sketched this really quickly on the back of one of my comic pages the other night while Laura was just cracking open a new book to start reading.
I had to sketch it quick, and forgo running to my office for a fresh sheet of paper, because I wanted to be able to capture the wonderful almost posed look she was rockin' and didn't want her to be conscious of the fact that I was sketching her. She just looked so beautiful and smart that I had to try to get just a bit of that down on paper.

I don't think I pulled off half of what I saw though. I definitely need to do a bit more life drawing nowadays. I'm starting to think I've got more than a few muscles that aren't being stretched much of late.

Have a great weekend, folks. Be sure to check back on Monday for something a little different, yeah?

American Splendor

American Splendor season Two #3 is on stands today, which just so happens to have a little three pager written by Harvey Pekar and illustrated by yours truly.

I've posted this cover here before but it's just so cool looking I couldn't help posting it again. Who ever could have ever imagined seeing Kirby dots and Harvey Pekar in the same place?!

As if keeping company in an issue with the likes of Warren Pleece, Rick Geary and Dean Haspiel wasn't enough, having it all under a Darwyn Cooke cover is really an honor.

Also, for you eagle-eyed readers who dig easter eggs, the librarian role is played by the ever-lovely Mrs. Laura Samnee. Thanks, Lu. I couldn't do this withoutcha!
