YE OLDE ART DUMP !!!

HELLOOO ! Are you still there ? Ok, thought I'd lost you ! Once again it's been way too long since I've done a proper blog post here, but I'm back (for now, anyway).

Here's a bunch of stuff that I've been working on over the last few months but just haven't had time to post it here.

BULLETPROOF CHICKEN

My good pals at King Bone Press asked me to do a pinup for their fantastic new book, Bulletproof Chicken !

I also provided a few original sketch cards to send out to backers of their very successful Kickstarter campaign for the book. Make sure you buy a copy of the book HERE right now !

BANE/JOKER COMMISSION

For a frequent customer. Really enjoyed doing this one.


JUDGE DEATH

This one is my end of an art trade I did with my pal Mike Jackson from the UK. Check out the AMAZING piece he did for me HERE !


SPIDER JERUSALEM MINI COMMISSION

An example of a 6x9 mini commission that is  part of a special deal on my store.


MOLESKINE SKETCHES

I recently purchased a small Moleskine sketchbook and I LOVE IT. The paper holds ink really well and the book itself is crafted beautifully. I've been trying to keep the sketches I'm doing in it pretty loose and messing around with different styles and techniques.

DRINK AND DRAW

Recently myself and several other local comic creators got together for a Drink and/or Draw event at a local bar. I think I can speak for everyone who was there when I say it was an absolute blast ! Hopefully we'l be able to do more of these in the future. Here's a few sketches I did that night while drinking several different kinds of beers wit high alcohol content.

THE BAIT: LUCKY ME

Last, but most certainly not least, is a project that I spent a lot of time on over the last couple of months. My friends Sherief Abouelseoud an Mark Tessone asked me to do the art for a 3 page mini-arc of their awesome webcomic THE BAIT. This project was time consuming and stressful, but ultimately a lot of fun and a great learning experience. I'm going to do a full process post on this in a few days, but for now just follow THIS LINK to check out the story. Here's the finished colors art without the lettering for the first page.

Thanks for stopping by and checking this out ! As always, any inquiries and commission requests can be sent to raywegnerart@gmail.com and I'll try to respond as quickly as possible.

Stay Classy,

RJW

ALIEN ZOMBIE VAMPIRES... FROM CANADA !!!

Hey guys ! I've got a special treat for everyone today. Down below you will find a 3 page comic story I wrote, drew and lettered, entitled ALIEN ZOMBIE VAMPIRES... FROM CANADA !!! This story was published last November in the pages of Product of Society # 6, an anthology put together by my friend Jon Michael Lennon of Cheeselord Comics. The Cheeslords themselves will be sitting right next to me at DAN CON this Saturday in Orland Park, so come by and see the original art for the story and then buy a copy of the book ! Please, feel free to let me know what you think about the story, either in the comments section below or on FB or Twitter. Enjoy !

P.S. I'm not sure why, but the lettering looks kind of blurry to me. Never had that problem with these pages before. If I find a way to clear it up on here, I will. 

DAN CON INFO & NEW ONLINE STORE

Hey folks ! Just wanted to give you an update on the latest happenings. First order of business:

DAN CON !!!

I will be making my very first convention appearance this Saturday at DAN CON in Orland Park, Illinois. I'm really excited about this. There's going to be over 50 artists & comic creators there and a bunch of cool retailers as well ! My table will be bookended by my pals Jon & Leo from Cheeselord Comics on one side, and my buddy Ryan Schrodt on the other. I will have lots of original art, prints and sketch cards for sale. I'll also be debuting a DAN CON exclusive ZOMBIES print at the show for only $10 ! The prints are 11x17 and will be hand numbered and signed by me. This is a limited print run of only 25 so when they're gone they're gone forever !

I'll also be doing sketches at the show. 9x12 pen & ink sketches on bristol will be available for $20. If you have a sketchbook, sketch cover comic or anything else you want me to vandalize, bring it by ! If you're interested in getting a sketch and want to let me know ahead of time, email me at raywegnerart@gmail.com and I can try to get a head start on them. If you're not coming to the show and are interested in a sketch, I'm going to start taking commissions in the near future so keep an eye out for that update.

This is gonna be a great show and I hope to see a lot of people there ! Check out the shows website HERE an see all the great talent and vendors that will be there.
