Every day in March I will post one of my sketch covers!

Check this out!!!
Here is a sketch cover I did as a commission last year and it is still my favorite sketch cover I have ever created. The request was for Frenchy as Harley Quinn as Princess Leia and Charmy as Darth Vader. I suggested adding Flimp the Chimp as Yoda and then I threw in Jabba the Hut.

The art is created using pen and ink with gray Copic markers. This was my second commission and marked the start of an amazing run of mash ups with my comic strip’s characters. The first commission was over a year prior to this one. I can still remember how scared I was to draw this one. The first commission was easy, it was Charmy and a few characters from Disney’s Song of the South. I felt no pressure with that one. This sketch cover was different. First off, I was paid in advance. With the first cover, I was paid at the show so they could have just thumbed their nose at me and walked away if they hated it.

I recall how nervous I was as the buyer for this art commission walked up to me to pick up his art I created for him. The huge smile on his face melted away the worries. Commissions would be few and in between for the next few years but I never worried anymore about how the customers would react. I no longer have issues taking people’s money in advance… lol…

I would love to create a color print of this one day, but when I do a commission for someone, I like that piece to be theirs and theirs alone. I am working on a printed collection of my covers which will be available for purchase at my comic con appearances.

Want a commission? Go to my website and click on the BUY ART link. I will provide a free estimate and a free digital sketch. Once the design is approved and my Paypal is funded, I will begin inking!

Stay TOON’ed for more sketch covers all month long!!!!
