Ghost Rider - Gutters 455

I've drawn up another Gutters over here: 

Gutters is a series of standalone pages that parody the comic book industry and the heroes and characters that dwell within. Think of it as an editorial cartoon targeting comic books, and you'll be on the right track. Gutters is written by Ryan Sohmer, has Ed Ryzowski as colorist.

I really like working with these guys, and I'm up to a grand total of 4 strips now...including the infamous 'Effiel tower' gay Wolverine Strip. (Which Sohmer has told me is one of their best selling prints...that cracks me up!)  You can check them all out here. 

Please click on over and give Gutters #455 a big thumbs up!  ;-)  

Undertow Comic interview in Self Publisher Magazine #69

The good folks at Self Publisher magazine recently did a nice 4 page article/interview with Luke and I regarding the Undertow as well as life and issues for a small publisher.

Luke Donkersloot, the writer and publisher at 7th Wave comics did most of the heavy lifting, but I pushed past my natural shyness (!) and spoke up a bit too. The download of this magazine is free (FREE!) and available here at this link.  SELF PUBLISHER #69

We are hard at work on Undertow issue #4 and I'm back doing the 'Organ Grinder' part of the comic. I'm once again joined by Adam Gorham on the 'Forgetting' also contained within. Its set to be released at ECCC next March and will be available at comics shops and the 7th wave website shortly after that.

Page 4 will probably look a little like the image below, but with words and stuff. Writers always seem to want to add them. ;-)

KIll Shakespeare - Tide of Blood pin up

Time sure has been racing by since the last update…I actually had a month sneak in here where I DIDN’T have an update. WTF? I hate that, and will try not to have that happen again for a while!

The Fan Expo show was amazing…. It ALWAYS is! It’s always a close battle for ‘best con of the year’ between Calgary Expo and Toronto FanExpo.  This year I give the nod (just barely!) to Fan Expo…mostly because I had a STELLAR booth girl again this year to help out.  Your move in 2014 Calgary!

I’ll have lots art coming your way soon. Once it gets close to the publication date, I’ll be showing some of it off here, on twitter, and Deviantart.

Speaking of publication date, here is a pin up for the Kill Shakespeare guys and their latest trade paperback - Tide of Blood. I think it turned out quite well, except for the weird crop it got in the published version. I designed it to bleed off the page, but when it came out, that didn’t happen. Cest la vie. Here is the version I had in mind.

See you in a month!  

Fan Expo 2013 - free Deadpool Print!

I'm happy to be in artist alley (4th year running!) at Fan Expo next week starting on Thursday.  Hours, dates  and details can be found on the Fan Expo Canada website right here.  

***Update - I'm at spot P-41 in artist alley **

I'll have prints, including a new FREE (for a tweet!) 11x17 black and white Deadpool and Hit Monkey Print. Its an homage to those old Hostess Twinkie ads. This one in particular:

All you need to do is tweet this link and/or the image with #deadpool and make sure you put it @gibsonquarter so I'll see it. Then just pick it up from me at FanExpo! Easy, huh? I'm trying this little social media experiment out, so we'll see what happens! I have limited copies & once they are gone, it's over. So...if you want one, don't wait too long. ;-) One per person, and I'll gladly sign it when you pick it up.

I'll have a few other prints for sale at the table too.

I'll also have the following COMICS:

Undertow #1 (2nd printing)
Undertow #2
Undertow #3 (it's new!)

Monstrosity #1 (see post below)

Professor Elemental #2

I also have a VERY few copies of Heroes of the North Omnibus #2

I'm always happy to sign anything that I've done work in, so please stop by next week! I've not heard of my exact spot in artist alley yet, but I'll update it here also tweet it out once I know.

See you at Fan Expo!

MONSTROSITY from ALTERNA

What is Monstrosity?

Monstrosity is a monster movie lovers dream. Godzilla vs. King Kong. Giant robots smashing through cities, Jason and the Argonauts battling sword and shield wielding skeletons. Those were the types of movies that fueled a love affair with monsters that provided the creative fuel that led to the creation of this graphic novel anthology, Monstrosity!

Its also a book I have some work in! Fearless Fred (writer of TUETON,) drafted up a a crafty little tale after our Podcast and drew 5 pages for this digest sized book. I worked smaller than I normally do here, and I can honesty say I wont try that again! LOL, thats blog post in and of itself for another time.

Anyways, MONSTROSITY is now listed in Diamond, and will be coming out soon. Please check out the old Indiegogo site to see some of the AWESOME work you can expect to see.

 Fred and I are in some great company on this one!

Professor Elemental comic issue #2

I've recently been introduced to the world of the Professor Elemental. He is a "hip hop/trip hop rapper who embraces both comedy and the world of Steampunk as his musical niche."


Simple right? 
 

He's also a great (and unique!) musician. Have a look at one of my favorite videos from the Prof.

So... besides alerting you to a terrific new musician from the other side of the pond, why am I bringing this up? Well Professor Elemental's 2nd comic is now out, and I've done a few pages of art in it.

The inks were done by Mike Bunt : [link]

The colors were done by the talented Andre May [link]

Take a closer look at some preview pages and order the book over at the Professor's site .

I'll also have some copies at the next few cons I do including Fan Expo in August.

Cheers!

 

DEADPOOL - Kitchen Sink!

This one is my next Deadpool print, after the last one which folks seem to like.

Hope this one gets the same amount of love!
