In case any of you don't know, beside playing guitar, my other main passion in life has always been Comic Books. I started collecting them when I was around 7 years old and found out that I had a natural artistic ability to draw them as well . Even though I've tried to break in the industry with DC & Marvel , I have worked with smaller publishers most notably , AC Comics where I did both pencils and inks on several back up stories on their top selling title " Fem-Force " back in 2009-11. I think I could probably get a gig with the big 2 now, but in order to do that, you have to go to CCSD which is only once a year and that is just too expensive to fly out there and you also have to compete with other artists who are also trying to break in as well. At my age (55), that is just too tiring, so now I just do paid commissions which is fine by me. Here's a recent one of Batman which I was commissioned to do. If anybody out there is a artist, I'd like to see some of your work and I am available for ( Hint, hint ! ) paid commissions !!!!

Good stuff. Very cool.

Yes, art and music are almost the same thing to me. I have a very visual mind when it comes to 2d art as well as songwriting.

I do work at a company that has a lot of DC and MARVEL licensed products, but sorry... no freelance opportunities come to mind.

Here's an example of a recent watercolor illustration:

Oops. I guess I'm not too clear on how to post an inline image.

I knew of many individuals back in school that were good at art. I would guess most of them are on more specific online forums. :wink:

I've always had a natural thing with drawing. I haven't actually done it since school, hell I haven't picked up a pencil since then.

You're back! And for those of us who have been on here a while, this is like the 3rd or 4th time you've posted this pic (under previous handles, of course) and started a thread on it. Sweet! :roll:

No offense but, do your research before making a comment like that ? I just drew that pic a couple of weeks ago and here is another one which I did last week which was a paid commission.
