Comics!

Forgive me! It's been forever since I've posted (or at least it feels that way to me). It's because I've been hard at work at work - AND a super secret project that will be revealed in the near future. It's going to be cool, friend-os!

In the meantime, feel free to read the latest from one of my little bitty (3 x 5 inch Moleskine) sketchbooks - this one is BRIDE OF NO PHO REF (No Pho Ref Vol. 2) to see the further adventures of "superhero" Bill and his sidekick Ryan. They're not really heroes at all! In fact, they're pretty much big idiots, those two. Read with your eyes! And your mind! (and your head as well as your brain!)

Joshua M. Trumbo Tells All!

...well, almost much all, about THE KAMIKAZE SNOWMEN on a very good friend (Nate Sjol's) PAST FORWARD podcast. (go here for other episodes of this great series)

Learn the Kamikaze Snowmen's super secrets of recording acts of genius! Learn how Terry Brown (me, suckas) knows these two gentlemen scholars, and how they all met and interacted well over ten years ago! Learn far too much about Joshua M. Trumbo's personal life! Learn salty, seedy stories and devious deeds involving 10-year-old live performances, college radio, and MORE!

LEARN!

But, mostly, just listen to a very smart, funny and thoughtful conversation between two friends about their past and present. And, most importantly, about how the "greatest band in the world" THE KAMIKAZE SNOWMEN got their start and continue to do so!

I would embed this glorious thing, but the embedding thing is giving me problems, so

GO HERE! and press play!

Thinking



Another very, very fast warm-up sketch in my sketchbook. Faster and faster these days because the other projects (which I'm not at liberty to divulge just yet) take most of my time.

A Cat I Know



Extremely fast sketch, but I think decent enough to show of a cat I know.

The Silence - Best "Doctor Who" Villain Ever?



Yes.

Above is a Melissa Fischer-tinkered Terry-approved version. Below is the original Terry-version. Terry prefers the tinkered version. Terry also writes in the third person in this post for some odd reason.

A Happy Client



There's nothing in the world like a happy client that becomes a friend. A cool guy who is uber-friendly and digs your work. Are you wondering where my Punisher painting went? Then look no further - it went to this gentleman (on the right), who I'd like to think is now a very good friend of mine, and an awesome dude to boot.

A happy client makes for an incredibly happy artist, folks. I've never been happier than to see this monster of a painting go to this kind-hearted, very nice, cool guy.

Thank you again, Rick, for reminding me why I'm doing all this in the first place!

I hope you enjoy the painting for a long time to come!

New Gray Markers = New Gray Doodles!

I just got some brand new Copic gray toned markers! I doodled the following Batman and Spider-Man on some little bitty scraps of Bristol I had lying around. Check it, peeps!





And then, just for shits and giggles, I threw some Photoshop colors over the Spidey one. Color over gray tones usually looks pretty cool, methinks!

Black Widow Commission




Here is a watercolor commission I just finished of Marvel's Black Widow. The client wanted bright, poppy watercolors, so I did my best!

You know, black widows eat dudes after they sleep with them. You know that, right?

Character Concept Art



Just some character concept art I'm working on for a new book. It's currently super-secret top secret, but I liked it. I did these really small on scrap paper. They're 2 inches tall. Seriously. Click to make it bigger if you'd like.

Admiral William "Bill" Adama, Callsign "Husker"



Battlestar Galactica? You're soaking in it!

5.5 x 7.5 inch acrylic on cardboard. I'm thinking about doing portraits like this of all the (rebooted) Battlestar Galactica characters. Then, when I put them all together in one huge frame, it'll look awesome!

Holy Cats!



Just a little sketchie I whipped up last night.

Had fun drawing it while watching a little TV show I shouldn't admit to loving - GLEE.

That's right. I love Glee. I know you were expecting me to say The Walking Dead or something (which I also love), but, hey, I was in show choir and all sorts of musicals throughout high school and college. And, besides, it's an absolutely fantastic, amazing, and funny show.

So stop being lame and give Glee a chance, you Alpha Males out there. You know who you are. It didn't hurt me one bit. In fact, I'm not any gayer than I used to be. At least, I don't think I am. Okay, okay, maybe a little. But, as George "Sulu" Takei is fond of saying, "It's okay to be Takei."


For those of you who are into Ted Turner, the colorized version is below:

2011 Phoenix Comicon Pics!

Ahhhh, Phoenix Comicon. How I love thee. Here are some pics of, you know, stuff from the Con!

I'll start with our table set up before the exhibition hall opened. It looked a little something like this:




Then, after the exhibition hall opened, we pretty instantly sold The Punisher painting, hence the Boba Fett hanging in it's place. Here are the pics of the lovely me with the lovelier Melissa Fischer hangin' at the booth.






My favorite pic, below, of us smiling our asses off. It was so fun being there!



And, of course, I couldn't resist a boobkiss. Or am I merely kissing the Punisher's skull? You be the judge!



The wonderful Jason Muzzin, who assisted us at every turn during the convention. A man to be praised, but don't tell him I said that. Then he'd expect praise all the time. And I'm stingy on praise.



Now I just want to show you the scope of the exhibition hall. It's even bigger in person, as this is just one angle on a huge, huge, ginormous place:



Here is the cutest kid in the world dressed up like a TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space for those of you who are not Doctor Who initiated):



And, for all you Ghostbusters fans, IT'S VIIIIIGGO! That bigass painting (or a print of it) was there fullsize, and it was awesome. Also in attendance from Ghostbusters, but not pictured, were Ernie Hudson and William (Walter Peck) Atherton (also in Real Genius and Die Hard 1 and 2)!



Two awesome kids swung by the table showing off their Green Arrow and Green Lantern costumes. Awesome stuff! Everybody was having such a good time!



And last, but certainly not least as far as the costumes go, I present you with my favorite costume of the Con. BARF. I even asked him what his full name was when he came by my table, and he enthusiastically and proudly replied, "Bartholomew!" Those Mogs...



Finally, here are a few requests and commissions I drew for fans while I was there.

First up - a woman begged me day after day for a picture of the rather obscure but wonderful movie Bubba Ho-Tep. And I finally delivered with this:



Then a cute little girl wanted a watercolor Supergirl, so I whipped this up for her:



Then, my favorite commission of the bunch. A smart young fellow asked for a Matt Smith Doctor Who (fez on his head and all) surrounded by something Day of the Dead related (not the Romero movie, but the Mexican Day of the Dead holiday). So I whipped this one up for him:



The Convention was a mighty fun affair for all! I had a blast! I apologize for not posting any pictures of the huge-boobed, scantily clad women walking around in superhero outfits, but pics of the hundreds of beautiful ladies are out there, floating in the ether of the interwebs for those who are so inclined.

What a blast, though. Enjoy the pics!
