Amazon review

I got an e-mail that someone has put up a review of "Robotika: For A few Rubles More" up on amazon.

Of course I was curious and I went over to read it...ouch, a bit of a disappointment, got only 2 stars.

It would be too bad if that was the only review up there, so I would like to call on the whole "Robotika Nation" to come over to Amazon and write down your thoughts about the book. Good or bad, it will be all appreciated :)

Hamlet illustrated by John Austen

I don't know much about John Austin, but a long time ago I saw a 1922 edition of Hamlet that he illustrated...it was $150adn it was awesome. He was just as decorative as Harry Clarke but not as busy, his drawing had just as much style as the work of Aubrey Beardley, but his figures were not as weird and his sense of design (I thought) was better. I could not afford the book, but I enjoyed looking at it for a while.

The cool news is that there is a new reprint edition that just got released that contains all of his original illustrations!


And the really cool news is that at amazon it is only $17...oh yeah.

IN celebration of Guy Davis and The Marquis!

For some reason, this makes me think of Al Williamson ...

Dr. Stran"G"e

I want to thank everyone who stopped by at APE to see me and Charles at our table.



Simple, but elegant....for those that are paying attention, the letter "G" is done in the style of the "old school" Michael Golden signature. Why? Because Doctor Strange #55 was great!

Table #655 at APE October 16-17

I will be sharing a table with Charles Yoakum (artist on Batman:Outlaws, The Grackle, Wardancer...and more) at APE this weekend. Come on by table #655 and say "Hi". I'll have sketchbooks, Robotika collections, originals, and new unpublished pages to show off...and of course Dr. Strange doodles :)

Can you find...Doctor Strange?

How many doctors can one draw?

Brian Churilla and Thanos the Mad Titan

This is another attempt by me to get Thanos "right"...I just can't get enough "mass" effect (although I think this is better than my earlier efforts).

The good news is, there is an artist who gets how to draw Thanos and he is drawing him right now (!). The artist is Brian Churilla, who has illustrated number of great stories (including a Robotika back-up story "Once Upon A Time...") and he is now illustrating Marvel's re-imagining of Jim Starlin's "Infinity Gauntlet". The title of the book is "Avengers and the Infinity Gauntlet" and #1 is in comic book stores NOW! Here are some pages and covers from the book (courtesy of Brian's blog): "Brian Churilla's Cool Art".

What can I say...I am in love :)
