FRANK FOSCO COMMISSION

Hadn't realized that I haven't updated my blog with my latest acquire artwork (which I have several pieces I haven't posted). I will update with all that I've acquired since last August, which was my last post.

For now here I have a piece I got commissioned by Frank Fosco, TMNT vol. 3 artist. I wanted to have a piece with the turtles fighting their arch enemies: The Mousers.

Peter Laird Sketch 1986

Hey guys. Today I received this piece in the mail. It's a sketch of Leonardo vs Howard the Duck by Peter Laird from 1986. It's a 8.5 x 11 sketch that seems to be have been done at a convention. At the moment its the earliest TMNT piece in my collection. 1986, that's a year before I was born lol. Hope you guys like it. 

Comic-Con 09 - Artwork

Last Friday I attended the San Diego Comic Con with my younger brother and I gotta say we had a blast. It was our first convention so we had alot to do and see. I was mainly there to meet the Mirage Studios people, which I did. Pretty awesome people. I was able to get sketches from most of them plus two commissions. The first one was by Dan Berger. He drew a Donatello for me. 

Second, I got a Casey Jones done from Eric Talbot. He does some of my favorite Ninja Turtles drawings. It came out pretty cool.

I was also able to get two pieces of original artwork from my friend Andres Ponce. One was from the Fast Forward comic book only available in the UK and the other one was a page from Tales of the TMNT 61. Check em out.

Saturday July 18 Shellebration (Los Angeles)

Right now I'm getting my things ready for SDCC, which I will be attending Friday. I'm pretty excited and can't wait. Last week I went to the TMNT tour bus stop in Los Angeles which was at Golden Apple Comics. There I got to see Kevin Eastman, who was signing and sketching for the fans. This time I was prepared, since last time when I met him I did not have my sketchbook ready, this time I did. I was able to get two sketches, actually one was for my brother. Below are the sketches we got.

Also, I got two of my comic books autographed, my TMNT #1 second print and TMNT # 4 second print. Pretty awesome. I'll be posting pictures from SDCC after Friday. 

Andres Ponce Turtle Cardboard Sketches

I just received these sketches directly from Andres Ponce himself. He drew each turtle on a cardboard measuring 25 x 17.5 cm each. My personal favorite from all four? Raphael.

TMNT VOL.4 #30 w Sketch..es

I was able to get one of those limited edition TMNT #30 with a sketch from Peter Laird, actually I got one that includes a sketch of all four Mirage Artist. I think I read on Peter's blog that there was only 5 of these made. How lucky am I?? I'm digging the comic and sketches. Thanks Mirage team for taking all the extra time to make the sketches on the comic books.
