I Am A Soul



My first ever collage piece! A heck a lot of work and a heck a lot of fun.

Thank you Derek Gores for the inspiration, Mr. Mok for the tips and the photo, Jojee, Esther, and Candice for the ballet advice, and Crys for letting me tear up her magazines!

Christ on the cross



Getting ready for Easter, I was asked by Mars Hill Church to come up with illustrations for the kids ministry. I found it difficult to make a kid friendly Crucified Jesus. But they were happy with it. This is also part of a coloring book. Turn off the color layers and they have some solid bw lines to fill in!

I did another t-shirt design for LimitedTshirts.com and this time it's actually about something.
I will send all the proceeds of the sales to the Dutch Red Cross Japan relief fund (giro 6868) and the kids at Limitedtshirts told me they will match what I make and donate that too.
Please go to LimitedTshirts.com, register and vote... and buy the t-shirt!
Thanks!

Billboard Illustrations For McDonalds Filet-o-fish







I was recently commissioned for a pretty sweet illustration opportunity with McDonalds for the filet-o-fish "Tales From the Sea" campaign. Had to crack all five out from sketches to finals in five days too which was interesting. Unfortunately the billboards are only being used for a St. Louis, MO metro campaign though (not national). So if you're in St. Louis keep eye out and see if you can spot all five! Below are a few pics that have been sent back to me of them out "in the wild"...

Batman 853rd Century Version

Ok, maybe, just maybe, you've never heard of this Batman before, and maybe you have, but I just found out about him yesterday while reading Superman Batman # 80 and I loved the way he looked so much that I had to draw him. Pretty standard typical image here, a lot like my Big Fat Batman image, but I hope you still enjoy it.
Penciled in Manga Studio EX 4. Inked with Kuretake brush pen on bristol board.

Dexter Samples 7 & 8

Here are my latest Dexter samples - one of Jennifer Carpenter as Deborah Morgan and the other of Julie Benz as Rita Morgan. I think I made Deborah's lips a little too big but nailed the eyes. Apart from a little adjustment to the eyes I think I got Rita pretty well spot on.

Ratfist Video

Wanted to post this yesterday along with the Ratfist image I did but it was taking to long to post on Youtube. But better late then never. This is a 7 minute first person view of me inking Ratfist with the Kuretake brush pen and later the Kolinsky brush. I really enjoy this method of digital pencils and traditional inks. It's practically the best of both worlds.

Enjoy!

Scribbles


We had our Wednesday Sketchup session last night at Starbucks. I managed to pencil another slightly over-weight Wolverine in my Moleskine.

Ratfist!

One of the things I love about Twitter is discovering new artists I've never heard of before. Doug TenNapel's one of the many Artists I've come to find out about thanks to Twitter. Doug's been around for years creating a slew of graphic novels like Monster Zoo, which I happen to own. His art is amazing and his story telling is masterful. It was no surprise that I was excited when he announced he was going to do a web comic called Ratfist. If you haven't read Ratfist, then you're missing out. I highly recommend it. For today's warm up piece I decided to draw Ratfist himself. This was drawn digitally in Manga Studio EX and inked traditionally with Kuretake brush pen and Kolinsky brushes. I made a video of me inking this but I'll post it tomorrow.
Enjoy!

5 for $10 at 10 - March 13th

Here are the commissions for tonight's $10 personal sketch-cards. Both of these are for Chris; he requested one of Christina Lindberg as Frigga / Madeleine / One-Eye from Thriller: They Call Her One-Eye, and one of Devon Aoki as Miho from Sin City.
As of March 12th, I will be hosting a weekly (hopefully bi-weekly) art-cast on Ustream - most likely on Saturday and Sunday nights.

There will be five (5) slots open each time; all cards will be $10 each plus $2.50 postage. You can request anything you like (comic, movie, video game characters) and you can reserve multiple slots. So far there are two (2) slots open for Saturday, March 19th and five (5) for March 20th.

If you're interested, email me at slatermark33(at)hotmail(dot)com, subject heading "5 for $10."

All the money made off these cards goes directly toward helping pay for my wedding - slated for August, 2012.

The artcast can be viewed here: http://www.ustream.tv/user/sharpiemark

If you can't afford a card, kindly just pass the word along to anyone you think might be interested.

ANNOUNCING MY NEW WEEKLY ART CAST:
5 for $10 at 10

As of March 12th, 2011, I will be hosting a weekly (potentially bi-weekly) art cast on Ustream at 10pm EST (7pm PST). Hopefully I can keep it consistent on Saturday and/or Sunday nights. Check back on my blog or on my DA page for weekly updates.
BLOG: http://slatermark.blogspot.com
DA: http://sharpiemark.deviantart.com

The next show will be tomorrow night, March 13th, 2011 at 10pm EST (7pm PST)

HOW IT WILL WORK:
- I will have 5 slots open each time and it will be first come first serve. You can reserve multiple slots.

- All cards will be $10 (+$2.50 for postage). Postage is free within Canada.

- As incentive, I will randomly draw the name of one the people I'm doing a card for during the show and they will get a FREE bonus card!

- People can choose their own subject for me to draw - be it a comic book, movie or tv character; historical figure, etc.

- Nothing too complicated: no incredible action poses, these will mostly just be head-shots but they will all be FULL COLOUR!

- The show can be viewed here: http://www.ustream.tv/user/sharpiemark - just click on "Shows & Schedule"

WHERE DOES ALL THE MONEY GO!?
All the money I raise from these shows will go directly towards helping me pay for my wedding which will be in August of 2012.

FOR MORE INFORMATION:
If you have any questions or would like to reserve yourself a slot in advance, email me at slatermark33(at)hotmail(dot)com. Subject heading "5 for $10".

THE FIRST CARDS!

Ophiuchus





Is Ophiuchus a new addition to the zodiac family? - An illustration
to the article describing the subject (ESS newspaper).

I have drawn two different versions of the picture: one with white
and the other with orange background. The orange is referring more
to the style of ancient Greek pottery. The picture with
white background was chosen to be most suitable one.

Which one would you prefer?
