Book It

 



Hey look at this #1 Mom I drew.  This must have been done VERY early on in the production of the first season of the critically acclaimed smash-hit animated television cartoon show "Invincible" (Available on Amazon's Prime streaming service). I was still trying to work out the approach and wrap my head around designing for animation so these aren't quite on model, but I thought they'd be fun to share.

Why share though?  Why now? 

Hey, those are questions for which I have an answer.  After a minor delay, "The Art of Invincible Season 1" (a book published by Image Comics) is finally out for you to paw through with your grubby little fingers.  You can find it at finer comic shops and even websites that sell such things if that's how you gotta do it.

There's a lot of neat stuff in there and it's a shame we couldn't fit EVERYTHING, but I hope you like what you get, my sweet piggies.

p.s. it's a little embarrassing, the book reads like it's the Cory Walker show, but I had a lot of help from some experienced and extremely skilled and talented folks.  Primarily Dou Hong and Nate Bellegarde on character stuff, but so many contributed to the visual DNA of the show, so please don't skip the credits in the back of the book. Thanks.

Ok.

Nice Back Side

 




Hey look at this back cover I drew for the slipcase of The Complete Invincible Library Vol. 6 (available June 11, 2024)

You read that right, the BACK cover for the slipcase and you know what that means!  Like the slipcase for Vol. 1 of The Complete Invincible Library, the front was drawn by Ryan "Real Good" Ottley with me drawing the reverse of his shot for the back.  It's a fun challenge and hopefully a fun slip case to hold all of your slips.

Look at Ryan's:



Speaking of "back" the smash-hit animated cartoon program "Invincible" (based on the comic series by Kirkman, Ottley and Walker) is BACK with part 2 of season 2 on Amazon's Prime streaming service.  So if you haven't already, get in there and glaze your eyeballs with its goodness.

bye

Another One

 




Hey look at this Invincible I drew.  Yeah they keep releasing these things, and this one is for the NEW EDITION Invincible TPB vol.5 which releases six months from today on September 6th 2024. 

Speaking of which, the New Edition TBP vol.3 is out TODAY! (3/6/24). So if you like a manga-sized book filled with Invincible comics you know and love or maybe haven't read yet, then find yourself a place that trades books for money or even other goods and snag yourself a copy.

That's enough of me.  I'll leave you with the final cover with big dog Dave McCaig's killer colors.
