Volstagg is the last of the four pieces shown at Christopher’s. It was fun to be a part of this showing with Eric Shonborn and Jason Young. Enjoy!
Volstagg is a friend of Thor in the comic books. He’s a comic relief character and a homage to Shakespeare’s Falstaff. He is also one of Sarah’s favorite characters and she insisted I draw him as my final piece for the Christopher’s Restaurant exhibit.
First post of 2012!
Another superhero portrait that was shown in 2011 along with Eric Shonborn’s and Jason Young’s exquisite pieces at Christopher’s Restaurant. Notice the Creeper’s cape (or whatever it is) isn’t attached to him? I didn’t until I had already inked and colored the figure. Rats!
Another superhero portrait shown at Christopher’s Restaurant some time back and drawn per Sarah’s request. Squirrel Girl is one of Sarah’s favorite comic book characters. She’s only read one Squirrel Girl story, her origin, and is still completely enamored with it. Truth to tell, I enjoyed it too since it was very much tongue in cheek. Or should I say tongue in pouch? Either way, it was a fun little story to read and this was a fun little picture to draw.
Just wanted to let everyone know that the Daytonian OK, Panickers! (Jason, Eric, and me) all have artwork hanging up at Christopher’s Restaurant as we speak! I mean… as I type! If you live in or around the Dayton area, be sure to check it out sometime between now and Halloween.
Above you’ll find one of the doodles I have hanging at Christopher’s: Calvin & Hobbes with Calvin being Stupendous Man. Yes, you’re right: it IS poorly based on Frank Frazetta’s “Berserker.”
