Very Near Mint volume three

I may have first mentioned VNM volume 3 way back in February of 2013 but the wait has well been worth it because VNM3 is now out in the world! I am happy to also share my contribution to this new graphic novel. I have more then once mentioned Justin Perterson's graphic novel series that includes VNM1, Uncanny VNM, and VNM2. Over the years I have taken Justin's characters and turned them into monsters and put them in harms way, and this time is no different. Here is my contribution to Very Near Mint volume 3...

This piece was a lot of fun to work on and I was more then thrilled to be a part of VNM3. Also nice to help a friend and live vicariously in comics through someone else. Here are some images of the piece in process...

If you need another reason to pick up VNM3... how about you need to get it because I am in the book as a character! There was an option in Justin's Kickstarter for VNM3 to be a character in the book and I was quick to jump on that. While enjoying your copy of VNM make sure you keep an eye out for me...

Very Near Mint 3 with special guest star... ME!

That is all for another exciting Monday on the blog, see you back here on Wednesday! Until then...

Very Near Mint volume two

Once again I have had the privilege to contribute to another of Justin Peterson's comic projects, Very Near Mint volume 2! You may remember my contributions to Very Near Mint volume one and Uncanny Very Neat Mint. It was a real thrill to be able to one again have some of my work share the same pages as Justin's. Justin gave me free reign again and so I continue abstracting his characters more and more. Turning them into Godzilla and Mothra was not enough apparently, this time around I made them more alien...

Once again, I can not recommend the comic stylings of Justin enough. His work is super awesome and in VNM v2 he takes it to a whole new level of awesome! Here is a pic of the cover of VNM v2 (just so you know you are buying the right graphic novel!).

If you blow past all the amazing comic art in VNM v2 and get to the back you will see my pin up in all its glory. I am told volume 3 of Very Neat Mint will be in the works before we know it and I hope that I have a chance to contribute to it! I will do my best to reel it in a bit with any new pin up, I may have gotten a little too wacky with this last one... or maybe not?

One more time, just in case you missed it before, if you are interesting in more information or in purchasing a copy of any of Justin's books, head over to the Adventuring Company website!

Uncanny Very Near Mint

Recently, I had the privilege once again to contribute to another of Justin Peterson's comic projects, Uncanny Very Near Mint. You may remember my contribution to his first graphic novel that came out last year. It was a real thrill to be able to one again have some of my work share the same pages as Justin's stellar work (as well as the very talented Lee Bretschneider and Tara Abbamondi!). This time around Justin gave me free reign and didn't want to see it until I was finished, so I went back to my roots and had some Godzilla fun...

Once again, I can not recommend the comic stylings of Justin enough. His work is super awesome and in Uncanny he is joined by two other outstanding artists to make a great little anthology. Here is a pic of the cover of Uncanny VNM (just so you know you are buying the right comic!).

If blow past all the amazing comic art in Uncanny VNM and get to the back you will see my monster pin up in all its black and white glory. I am told volume 2 of Very Neat Mint will be done soon, so that means I need to get moving on another pin up!
