Spider Gwen!

I love drawing Spider Gwen. (Remember this one?)  I find the costume and colors mix well to form a very strong design and look for her.

This started as a warm up sketch, but I got carried away !

Crazy times...

This Covid 19 virus has really turned the world on its head. I hope that everyone is staying home and self isolating where appropriate. 

I have neglected this blog for the last little while. However, with extra time on my hands at home, I'll be sure to post up a little bit here and over at my Instagram.

 You can find me on IG over Here!

Stay safe, wash your hands and be kind to each other!

This is the greatest Canadian hero to ever hail from Humboldt Saskatchewan!

Raid 3 - out now!

Fan Expo has come and gone, and with it the successful release of Raid 3!

The book will soon be available for on-line ordering from RAID's website

Here is a peek at a few of the pages I drew for another Quid Pro Quo story with Anthony Falcone. 

Enjoy!

RAID: 3 Coming soon!

Raid 3 is now in the can and release date will be confirmed shortly...

Details soon!

Oktana and Ko - #2 variant cover

I did a variant cover of the 2nd issue of Oktana and Ko, and they made a 'virgin' variant without the logo.

They look a lot like this!  

RAID TWO - out now!

Good things come to those who wait!

The RAID 2 anthology launched at Toronto comiccon, and is now available for order at the RAID website. It clocks in a whopping 144 full pages!

Anthony Falcone  are I are back with another story from the 'QUID PRO QUO' universe we are building.

 For those that missed RAID:ONE, we have some copies available at the RAID Studio site.

20 bucks for 144 pages of comic/graphic goodness?? Check it out- its money well spent!

Venom...

Its been a long time since I drew VENOM - where it wasn't a sketch cover or commissions.  (the last time was WAY back....here)

So after checking out the movie, I whipped the lines up for this one and then had the very talented Paris Alleyne add some colors to it.

I will have a few available as prints for the comic conventions I do this year.

Hope ya'll like it!

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!  ;-)

RAID 2 ...coming soon.

I've been working on the next installment of QPQ for RAID 2.

This time we flesh out a bit of the sci-fi universe that our hero lives in. It is once again written by my fellow RAID'er , Anthony Falcone

Lots more details soon, but here is a quick sneak peek!

Futurequake 2018

I've drawn another FUTUREQUAKE cover, this time for the FUTUREQUAKE 2018 edition.

I've done a few covers in the past (back when they were numbered!) and this is cover #3 I think. Pencils and inks on this one only.

Pick a copy up from them over in the U.K., or their website. 

Undertow #7 !

Undertow issue #7 from 7th Wave comics launches this weekend at Emerald City Comic Con, (BOOTH 103 !)  and will be out in select comic shops in March.

This issue picks right up where #6 and recently released Trade Paperback left off. We have also added grey-tones this time around for an even richer comic reading experience.  Adam Gorham is back again... this time with a sweet cover!

Take a look and Support Indy comics! You can order it online or from any of the creators at upcoming conventions!  

2017 Round up!

Another year, another 'round up' to keep me organized!

2017 saw me contribute to 3 Comics:  Auroraman #1 and the Auroraman 'Summer Chill' special. I also had the pleasure of working with  Dead Canary comics again for their 'Adventures in Science"

Is Raid: One a comic or and art book? I'm going with graphic novel/art book just based on the different size and page length. I had a few pages in here that turned out great thanks to Ramon Perez's sweet inks.

1 art book- Calgary Expo again this year.. and one new Flash print.

Lastly, my graphic novel - Organ Grinder arrived...very happy to see this collected in 2017. 

This is normally the part where I'd throw in a nice pic of the books, but I only have copies of Raid:one and the OG trade.  The other books never made it to me, so I've never seen the printed versions of any of them. Hopefully this year I'll have better luck getting some copies of the books I've done.

enough whining...here's a page of Moses escaping the demon cowboys instead.

Here's to a great and productive 2018!

The 'comic cock' interview

"Comic Cock" ?

This was my favorite (and funniest) interview of 2017. I've NEVER been asked about 'comic cock' before, and don't think I ever will be again.

 *its the outtake in the last 10 seconds of the video* ,,,big props to Mike EL and the folks for adding this moment to the end !

Adventures in Science #1

The good folks at Dead Canary Comics  were kind enough to have me back to do some pages on their new book: Adventures in science, set to be released in early November 2017!

The 'official' word on this project is as follows:

Welcome to 10 wicked visions of mankind's frighteningly fantastical future! 

ADVENTURES IN SCIENCE! is a neon-soaked, darkly comic, technicolor graphic anthology daring to tell the fates of imagined futures!
Dead Canary Comics have assembled a crack team of artistic architects to build worlds beyond imagining! These pioneering pencil prodigals have bled blood to bring you nightmare visions of a futuristic prison system, the next stage in warfare, the humdrum life of a single-women, and everything in between!
Each story is a self-contained 'what if', a pulpy adventuristic delight of scientific dreaming, a sideways glance at "what could be". Some stories are funny, some are serious, some are deep... all are guaranteed to entertain
These tales have been lovingly curated and compiled to make a fantastical, mind-blowing graphic novel by the team that brought you The Fitzroy Comic, Reddin, Last Driver and The Frogman Trilogy.

Matt Fitch wrote the story I drew, and here is a sneak peek:

Head on over to the Dead Canary Comics website to grab a copy!

Pod Cast interview on Speech bubble

Here is one of the most in depth interviews I've done in a long time. If you want to hear me talk about, RAID studio, Frank Quitely, beers and X-men, Undertow and many other topics...check this out! 
 
Today Aaron Broverman talks with comic artist Gibson Quarter of R.A.I.D. Studio. The co-creator of The Organ Grinder is a Belleville, Ontario native, and his deepest regret is selling all his early X-Men comics... for beer money 😱

Tune-in to his crazy story here: http://bit.ly/2wSOQWx

RAID: ONE out now!

This weekend I'll be attending FanExpo in Toronto for the launch of the RAID: ONE Anthology.

The story I drew was written by Anthony Falcone, and inked up by Ramon Perez!

Auroraman - Summer Chill

I've done another cover for the Canadian hero Auroraman, and it's set to be released in and around Saskatchewan in the next week. This comic is to promote the Humboldt Summer Sizzler Comic Con sponsored by the City of Humboldt!

I'll be doing some Auroraman interior work and more covers in the future, and will be sure to share that info here when its set to be released. 

The Gillan designs and interiors are done by my pal, and former 'Ty Templeton Comic Book Bootcamp' Alumnus- Chris Yao!

ROM!

Spaceknights are supercool...here is my take on IDW's version of the character.
