Backpack hero! Polished up this little sketchbook doodle from last week because it's New Comic Book Wednesday. Go out and support your local shop, cop something on @comixology or just get a trade at a big bookstore. I don't care - just read something. There's so many good books out there waiting for new eyes to entertain. Not the least of which is The Art of Spider-Man: Homecoming. I draw Spidey a lot for kicks, but the team behind the new movie do this for a living and did an exceptional job. So a tip of my red and blue hat to @ryan_meinerding_art and his team for shepherding this new version of Archno-Boy into existence. They did their part. Do your part and get entertained! Finished up a job and almost all of our parental boxes have been unpacked and most things have a home. Finally have time to knock out little sketches between catching up on other projects and chores. The weekend dropped a treasure trove of nerdy news so I'm gonna knock out appropriate warmups throughout the week! Here's the Ice King from that @hbo show, Game of Thrones. Have you heard of it? It's pretty good! 😜 I'm happy that Game of Thrones is back (the North remembers) but I'm still feeling War for the Planet of the Apes. So, today's warm up sketch is the majestic chimp! This weekend dropped amazing teasers by way of D23 and a very exciting reveal for the 13th Doctor Who. I'm looking forward to watching a Wrinkle in Time and of course The Last Jedi behind the scenes package was great (Carrie Fisher 😢). I hear that the footage shown for Avengers Infinity War is bananas but I refuse to read anything about it. I'm an adult. I can wait for a trailer to drop after SDCC. On a personal level my editors and writers on Secret Identities and New Frontiers had a successful Asian American ComiCon out in LA. Sadly, this wonderful flood of nerdy news was capped by the loss of both George Romero and Martin Landau. Both Hollywood legends and contributors to shaping film into global touchstone. They will be missed. Have a great week, folks! LA folks! Go check out any of the panels and the amazing artists exhibiting at the Asian American ComiCon today starting at noon. My funny book making partners, @lewistanofficial, @the_real_chow and @originalspin, will be there holding it down as panelists and hosts and the legendary @georgehtakei will close out the day by receiving the first-ever Excelsior Award for Art in the Service of Activism and being a guest on the #TheyCallUsBruce podcast! I can't be there so please go and treat that spot like Linden Blvd. Represent, represent! Got a chance to see #WarForThePlanetOfTheApes last night with @cakesandcrochetchic. Do yourself a favor and watch the previous movie and catch this one in the theaters. @mattreevesla did a beautiful job directing. It's stunning to look at and it is a summer tent pole movie so expect explosions and running, but @andyserkis and the rest of the mocap performers are on a completely different level. Steve Zahn turns in a much needed lighter, but layered performance. These last two films are what summer event movies should aspire to achieve. Not so much a formula but a feeling and relies on the strength of the characters and performances. All that through the CG veneer of near flawless tech. I'm gushing. I really liked it is what I'm saying. Standing on line waiting to get seated I did the human sketches and this morning did all the chimps for fun. All ink. No pencil. Hope you're having a great week! *thwip* An artist buddy of mine posted that he's got Spidey fatigue... I wonder what kind of fresh hell that's all about 🤔 Here's another Spider-Man for you non-grumpy, non-contrarian folks! I did this in my sketchbook while watching OKJA on Netflix. It's a great movie and you should hunt down @vulture's @steveyeun post TWD piece. Good stuff. Have a great weekend, people! It's Spider-Man: Homecoming weekend and all my favorite artists are posting their own take on Pete so far be it from me to not hop on this arachno-boy bandwagon with an old piece! It's also hot as a Hell's Hinges right now so here's a pic of a trio of spider-folk - #spidergwen #milesmorales & #peterparker -enjoying cooler weather in their long-johns. Hope you all get to see the flick this weekend. It's worth it! Holy cats. After a week+ of moving boxes driving trucks and vans, packing/unpacking, cleaning, making a mess and cleaning again I finally, FINALLY, have time to sit down and do some new artwork. It's a personal project so it's just a peek, but I wanted to post something new and say thanks to everyone hanging around. I'll be posting more stuff and a couple of projects will be dropping soon so expect updates in those. Hope all my Stateside folks had a great and safe holiday and peace and love to the global fam! Pencils for a print I did for good pal and fellow @svanyc alumnus, @epicprops. It was part of his "Friends with Benefits" tier. His friends list runs deep, as other contributors included the likes of Walt Simonson, Geoff Darrow, Bernard Chang, Cliff Chiang among others. I'm happy with what I sent him, but I was the first to drop. Getting updates of everyone else's print was a lesson in humility after seeing how great artists approach the same project. C'est la vie! For the finished colors just scroll back through my feed. I think it's in here somewhere! If you're in the NYC area you should definitely check out Jerry's solo show at the NYAFF in Lincoln Center. Head over to the THE FRIEDA AND ROY FURMAN GALLERY - Plaza level Walter Reade Theater starting June 30 to July 16th Way back when Saturday mornings used to be all cartoons and martial arts movies. These days I get to draw that kinda stuff. Here's a peek at a recently completed project with a couple of @siuniverse editors and an incredible on-screen talent you've probably seen recently. I genuinely don't know how much I can disclose but as soon as I can I'll post more here. So watch this space. Also always fun to draw a neo-nazi getting back kicked in the face.
