king choopie!


okay, been a while since my last post...

went to cleveland (and had plenty of time to hang out with todd and mark mchaley since the show was a bit... slow), been working on the haps halloween "big in brazil" story (you did see that todd posted the first page in b/w over at his blog a while back, didn't you?) and iron man and the armor wars ...

haven't had much free time to get to the few commissions waiting patiently, but i DO have this piece... my homage to conan ... after realizing it wouldn't work for the cover to issue 3, we scrapped it (only getting as far as loose pencils - check out the new image trade for that)... after seeing it the trade , jim asked me if i could ink it up, so i did... i had fun with this one...

up next week, i'll dig deep into the file draws for old samples and miscellaneous stuff you've probable never seen.

-c (finished watching the wire on dvd... damn, i can see why it's considered one of the best shows on tv... days later, i'm still letting it sink in...)

I saw that on Jim CAF page and thought it was your best Choopie yet.

That Jim is like a magnet for great 'Haps art.

Glad to hear your busy, but hope you get some time to breath.

i loved this both times!

but i think this one needs that "heavy weighs the crown..." quote too...

Still say that drawing needs to be a shirt or poster at the very least. Fan-frickin'-tastic, Craig!

Man, you have a seriously sweet style. Really inspiring stuff!!! I like what your doing on the colored paper.
