[I] made a quick update to the gallery this morning. The two latest commissions are a Black & White Con-Sketch of Batman for the winner of a Yelp Halifax contest draw and a custom black and white
digital commission for my friends Helen and Cal for the front of her wedding invitation! Helen and Cal are both big Calvin & Hobbes fans and they wanted to bring that into their wedding invite in a unique way. Congrats guys! See you on September 30th!

Commissions are still open. If you can’t find what you’re looking for in the Starcrossed Store just email me and I can send you a custom quote.

~AND~

Black & White 9 x 12 Sketches will be on special at DCAF for $40!
So, come on out to the Dartmouth Comic Arts Festival on Sunday, August 19th and pick up some cool stuff from myself and other Atlantic Canadian cartoonists and comic artists. Details here.

UPDATE: Even though the sale is over, commissions are still OPEN!

Have you been meaning to pick up a piece of original artwork from me? Well now’s your chance! To celebrate the release of a certain comic book movie this weekend, all Black & White / Con Sketch commissions are 10% off. You can read about commission details and place your order right here!

Though the samples in these posts are Batman related, don’t feel obligated to request a character from that universe. The sky is the limit. – As long as I can find references on Google Images. Ha!

Feel free to email me if you have any questions about the artwork.

I took some time today to add a few new images to the illustration gallery. Take a peak. If something sparks your imagination, I am still taking commissions for February.

Inspiration: Muppabet

Illustrator David Vordtriede has been posting a set of alphabet images based on The Muppets. He has been posting one per day up to the release (today) of the new movie The Muppets. David’s take on the classic characters are fantastic! I love the textures.

“The Muppabet is a small project and assignment that I have given myself as both a creative exercise and a straight up excuse to draw Muppets. After growing up on a steady diet of the Muppets and all things Jim Henson, I have been drawing inspiration from Kermit and the gang in one form or another in so much of what I do creatively every day.” - David Vordtriede

Here are a few of my favorites. You can see the full set of The Muppabet images (And you really really should!) on Flickr.
