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 !

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!

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!  ;-)

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!

Flash!

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.

Calgary Expo Art book 2017

I'll be at the Calgary Expo again this year, in artist alley spot BMO G07

I'm also happy to be included in the 2017 art book, to support a worthy charity!

The show has asked artists to hold off on showing the entire image until the weekend of the show...but I'll be sure to put it on on my  instagram ( Gibson_Quarter ) the weekend the show starts in Calgary.

My original art will be donated and available for purchase in the auction at the end of the show!

See you at the show.  ;-)

ORGAN GRINDER Trade Paperback Collection!

This year at the 2017 Emerald City Comic Con, 7th Wave comics will release The Organ Grinder Trade paperback.

This is super exciting for me, as its the first time that over 100 pages of my artwork will be available in the same book!

The book collects the Luke Donkersloot written Organ Grinder pages that appeared in the Undertow issues #1-6, plus all the covers and pin ups that have been published. Its kinda like an Omnibus edition for all things 'OG'! (and it also includes a NEW 16 page story with inks by Pat Davidson!)

The book will be available online after ECCC and I'll have copies available at my artist alley spot at shows I'm attending later this year. (Calgary Expo, Fan Expo, etc)

I'm also attending the Emerald City Comic Con for the launch, signing and sketching (defacing?) copies of the Book.  Come by the 7th Wave Comic's booth and say hello!

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.

Organ Grinder trade paperback...coming soon!

The Organ Grinder story that I do with the 7th wave folks for the Undertow comics is getting its own trade paperback this year. It will collect the first 5 issues (maybe 6!) and also include a new 16 page story featuring Jeremiah and Moses, his faithful chain smoking monkey partner. 

More details in the month ahead, but for now...here is a quick look

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...

Spider Gwen swinging around!

Just because... Spider Gwen is fun to draw and has a cool costume.

 Colors by Sean 'Aussie' Ellery, and linework by yours truly.

Oh, and in case you didn't know, I've recently got on Instagram and am posting art up there. Follow me at Gibson_Quarter

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!

Calgary 2016 Expo and Art Book

I'll be at the Calgary Expo again this year, in artist alley spot S07

I'm also happy to be included in the 2016 art book, to support a worthy charity!

My original art will be donated and available for purchase in the auction at the end of the show. They have asked us to hold of on showing the image until the weekend of the show. So... I'll put the color version (with colors by Greg Harms!) up on my instagram ( Gibson_Quarter ) when I land in Calgary.

This is the best I can do until then!


See you at the show.  ;-)
