For the Disney mash-up challenge this week, I did Woody Solo. 

He's the root'-ness, toot'-ness scoundrel in the wild, wild galaxy. 

Solo's Roundup

Rapunzel is a Star Wars fan.

No idea what gave it away.

This IS The Post You're Looking For

There are a lot of things to love about Star Wars...and several more to hate if you're talking about the Prequels.  But whether it's the newer movies or the original classics one thing will always remain the same, my deep undying love for Obi-Wan Kenobi. Alec Guinness and Ewan McGregor are both tremendous actors that embody the spirit of this kind and wise Jedi Master, so I was very torn between drawing the younger or the older version of the character.  Ewan's adorable, so that was probably the deciding factor, but I'm definitely going to set aside some time to draw a version of Alec Guinness as well.

Star Warsin' all over the place

Hey all! I am a huge fan of Star Wars. They were the movies I was raised on. I'm so excited to get the chance to do a little fan art for the series. I made a little trilogy of my own with artist trading cards. I'm completely addicted to these things. I made the happiest Darth Vader I could muster, a fluffy Chewbacca, and a Princess Leia in her original 1977 poster style. I could have gone full metal bikini on this one, but come on. The original white dress costume is much sexier!

All of these were done with markers.

May the 4th Be with you....and Happy Anniversary TMNT!!!

WHAT IT LOOK LIKE INTERNET!!!

I have had another busy, active week! Still enjoying all the love of Free Comic Book Weekend! Working an Artist Alley style table has certainly put a taste in my mouth I cannot forget and eagerly desire more of! Stay Tooned for more public appearance action!!!

So this week were honoring Star Wars...a film series I loved deeply till maybe 4 years ago when something in my head just said... you had a good run my friend, but we're so over. Still got mad respect for the art and vision of George Lucas, Lucasfilm and now Disney (of course I love Disney) but yeah, with age comes wisdom, and far less patience. I think the repetitive nature of the new content wore me out. 

So to motivate me to scribble something I choose to gender bend Darth Vader at the latest Drink & Draw Cleveland. It must've been pretty good for I won a prize for the night! Now you can be the judge! 

About 30 min. brush in pen, white gelly roll pen on some very poopy paper. 

This week is also the 30th Anniversary of the original TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES comiczine! 

Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's TMNT was very influential to me as a young lad with dreams of drawing comics for a living. Growing up I was way into comic strips, cartoons with anthropomorphic characters or just any animal doing human things. They always seemed to be able to do stuff and say things that people couldn't or things that we as humans would think was taboo. I mean come on man, how many times can Bugs Bunny dress like a woman and kiss a man and nobody see's the weirdness way back in the 50's-60's, but see a human do it and everyone's like...OH NO's! 

TMNT really broke a lot of taboos...first they were kids, teenagers..ninjas...assassins and the original comic was bloody and violent as hell...so yeah lets make this a Saturday morning cartoon for kids...its wholesome family entertainment. Dude, really? Yeah they dumbed it down, but after seeing the toon, I wanted the toys, then eventually the graphic novels...Which blew my mind. Simple story, simple art, made by two dudes who just had  crazy idea one night farting around the apartment. Hey I can do that!! 

So in the spirit of the boys that inspired me, and to hook a friend up with an art swap, for during FCBD my most popular free sketch was the turtles and everything I had turtle flew off the table! Here is a full color illo of Slash...looking...slashy. 

About 2 hours, pen & ink, prismacolor markers on not as poopy bristol board. 

Original Size 11x14. 

Thanks for reading!!! If your at all interested in stalking me on a frequent basis, Holla at ya boy over on one of these lovely social media sites! I love to make new friends and fans!!!

Star Wars May the 4th Challenge!

Hi all,
Mark here!
Today's post features is all about the Star Wars challenge, and features two characters I really like-- C3P-O and R2D2!  I drew this piece in what I call my "chibi" style, and the background was inspired by the desert scene with the two of them.

Weekly Challenge: Star Wars!

Join us in a galaxy far, far away! In (belated) honor of May the 4th, we are making Star Wars art. Keep an eye out for our out of this world art and sketches.
