Trenton Ontario, here I come!

I'll be at the Trenton Comic con this weekend signing RAID books  (#1, 2 and 3) and sketching .

Please come by and say hi if you are in the area!

2018 Round up? Nope...

You may have noticed that there has been a lack of posts and a lack of art up here recently, and for the first time in years, I have not put a yearly round up highlighting my activity.  That's because 2018 is a year I'd like to forget. 

I try to stay positive and am generally a very upbeat kind of guy, but 2018 had a lot of negative things hit me all at once (financial, health and a foggy malaise) and I found it tough to deal for a while. This affected my ability to draw and be as creative as I would have liked.

However... I'm happy to report, that 2019 IS HERE! 

With it comes a clean bill of health, and more time at the drawing board. I will have a number of new releases this year.. RAID 2, Auroraman, and the Organ Grinder are on the plate so far!

If you are so inclined, please follow long on my Instagram where I post more images on the regular...I'm at :   @gibson_quarter

For now, here is an uncolored Venom that should have been posted up he while ago!  ;-)

Auroraman #1 cover art

Here is the cover for the upcoming issue #1 and some details on "Saskatchewan's newest superhero" - Auroraman!

From the publisher's update on FB:

Well here we go as promised...the finished colours to the cover of issue #1! Art by Gibson Quarter and colours and layout by Donovan Yaciuk! These guys did an amazing job with this piece! There will be some minor adjustments to the layout/format but more or less this is it!! Remember this will be 64 pages and the kickstarter for it and the Axiom-man and Auroraman: Frozen Storm novel launches March 22nd!

2016 round up...

Here is the round up...

One  new comic that published this year -Undertow #6!

Sadly, my Captain Canuck didn't publish yet, but stay tuned for release details. I also have another comic
ready, but its still 'in the can' so to speak.

2 art books - Emerald City comic con and Calgary Expo

3 new prints, ( Spidey Gwen, Boba Fett, and the TMNT) and many commissions produced this year.


A big THANK YOU to all those who have helped and supported again...you all know who you are!!

Happy 2017 to all.

Upcoming work sci-fi comic

I'm currently finishing a preview for a 3 issue sci-fi comic planned for late 2017.

Its written by Anthony Falcone (Northguard from Chapterhouse comics) and more about him can be found at his website

Anthony is a studio mate of mine at RAID Studio, and a very good writer- heck he even does novels!

Here are some rough pages...

Chapterhouse Archives #3 Captain Canuck !

My next published work is going to be in Chapterhouse Archives #3 featuring Captain Canuck

Solicitation on this one reads:

Introducing Chapterhouse Archives, an ongoing monthly series that reprints all of the essentials in the Chapterhouse catalogue. All Archive issues feature an all new cover and five page back story by some of comicdoms brightest and best! “The Canadian Connection” sees the RCMP appear, the first appearance of Heather and Canuck injured. Story and art by Richard Comely and second professional comic art by George Freeman. Featuring cover art by Hugh Rockwood and an all-new 5 page back story (that takes place between Captain Canuck #3 and 4)

Yep, I'm doing the backup on this one and had a great time drawing my childhood hero. Its a thrill for me to be able to contribute to the 'director's cut' of these classic comics. 

It's out in June, so look for it at your local comic shop!

You can't keep a one-armed cursed gunfighter down for long!

The next issue of Undertow from 7th wave comics is now coming together, and that means Jeremiah and Moses (his chain smoking monkey!) will saddle up again soon.

Here's a preview:

Frogman #3 cover

Frogman 3 is almost upon us!

The cover is now released, and looks like this...

It's drawn by writer, co-creator and all around nice guy, Matt Fitch. Keep watching the Dead Canary Comics website for the actual release date.

Art Blast April - Futurequake!

Futurequake #21 cover

Colors by Kerien Smith. 

And yes, it is an homage of that famous old DC cover!

Art Blast April - War on Drugs, a.k.a my first published work

I probably SHOULD have started Art blast April with this, but I didn't, because that would require being much better organized than I currently am. ;-)

This is my FIRST published page, and the one that started it all. The importance of seeing this published in Northern Lightz at the time ( over 10 years ago!) cant be overstated. I was thrilled! I felt like I had finally made it, and resolved then and there that I would be a professional comic artist.

I was very lucky to have Gary Erskine ink this one, and he did me a lot of favors. He basically re-drew the helicopter in the big panel, as the one I had sent in was pretty weak by comparison. Alan Grant wrtoe this one and it marks the first appearance of 'Johnny K' from the War on Drugs, which went on to run in 2 magazines over in the U.K.

Commissions! Please enquire.

I dont think I have mentioned this recently (ever?) on my blog, but yes...I DO COMMISSIONS!

I am currently accepting commissions, special requests, sketch covers, more elaborate commissions...etc

Please contact me via email ( gibsonquarter27@yahoo.com ) or on twitter to find out more and start the process.

This is an example of a 11X17 Spiderman - pencils and inks.
