Copic Artwork, sold this one to my bud Shing!

I've been Posting A lot of marker sketches, so I thought I'd mix it up & post a pencil drawing I did, with a back story, That I call Hell's Ventriloquist. Its 8x10, pencil & colored pencil, that I scanned into illustrator & cleaned up for a tshirt design. It was inspired by a story I once was told, that was used to scare little children into behaving.

There was once a brilliant Ventriloquist in the 1800's named Compari. He was an amazing performer, who loved his art. The only thing Compari loved more ,was children, so he would fashion his dolls after the little children he entertained. You see, he was a very homely & shy man, and a very lonely one, who could never have children of his own. But when he performed, children would come from all around to see Compari & he couldn't be happier. As his success grew so did his notoriety, which brought more attention to the fact that wherever the ventriloquist went, child disappearances seemed to increase as well. When they finally had Compari hanged, they found the bodies of 66 children underneath the floorboards of his house, as well as 10-15 more in a ditch behind his home. All of them found with a rusty nail lodged into the temple of the tiny skulls. Compari never uttered a word to the authorities even when they snapped his neck.
The stories say that Compari still practices his art in hell. Whenever spoiled little boys & girls are awful to their parents & misbehave, Compari rises up from Hell & snatches there souls in the night. The little boys & girls are dragged down & trapped in the hollow bodies of The ventriloquists dolls. There they follow Compari's every order as he performs his nightly show to entertain the hordes in hell, for all of eternity.

Little hulk Copic marker sketch.

Here's an old Valkyrie marker sketch that I did with prismacolor markers ( before I got my copics!)

SO MUCH FUN!

Great expo, bigger, but still has that personal feel. All cons have there own place, some cons are so busy you can't get ahold of your favorite artists... That's where the long beach comic expo shines, you can not only get great sketches from your favorite artists, but you can also chat with them, when normally that would be an impossible thing. So if you are having a hard time getting sketches , signatures, artwork etc. You need to hit up the long beach comic expo.

Here's a harley Quinn sketch from yesterday at the Long Beach Comic Expo!

Day 2 is about to commence! Let me know if you need a sketch.

Here is another Sketch card  that's going to be featured in the " Worlds Of Fantasy" trading card set that will be sold at New York Comicon. I'm doing a total of twenty sketch cards & one base card. I have to wait for approval before I post them. The interesting thing about these cards is that they unfold to display a larger sketch. They are called z-sketch cards. so on the upper right hand corner is the front of the card & the lower left hand corner is the back with the signature. The rest of it folds up like a map. I've included two pics, one is just the card front & the other is the entire sketch, unfolded.

I used copic multiliners & markers for the majority of these cards.
