Who Watches (Me Color) The Watchmen?

I colored these personal sketch cards live on my Ustream channel tonight:

You can watch a recording of me creating these cards on my Ustream channel!

These personal sketch cards measure 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches each and were drawn with micron pens and Prismacolor markers/pencils.

I have 40 blanks left, all going to one client (my pal George), so stay tuned for further live webcasts featuring me working on them, because I hope to finish all 40 by May or June so they can all be featured in my 2009 convention sketchbook.

No Hugging, No Learning

More cards for my pal George:

I wonder if any of them are out of the klink yet.  Most likely, they're repeat offenders.

Anyway . . .

Not my favorite Hitchcock film, but definitely one of of my favorite Hitchcock moments.

Knighty Knight

I had to get my convention sketchbook printed up today, so I whipped out the last 8 this morning to make sure every page of the book had 9 images.  I decided to make these quickies a "Dark Knight Returns" set:

These cards are going out to my pal George.  Don't worry George, there is still a huge stack of blanks here with your name on them.

Three Kings

These are going out to my friend George:

Daniel Craig 007 & Rear Window

My favorite Bond and my favorite Hitchcock film:

These are a couple of more cards for George's "Year of Otis".  These cards measure 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches and were drawn with micron pens and Prismacolor markers/pencils.

And just for fun, I thought I'd start showing the step-by-step process that I use to draw these personal sketch cards:

A Replicant, An Idol and A Spirit

The Roy Batty and Spirit cards are commissions.  The "Raiders" fertility idol is for George and The Year of Otis.  I know I said no more "Blade Runner" cards, but the buyer wanted a card similar to the first Roy Batty card that I drew this year, so I whipped out one with a slightly different pose and lighting scheme.

Speaking of "The Year of Otis", George and I recently made a very cool deal to add 10 more cards to his total, so there will be 10 less eBay auctions this year.

These personal sketch cards each measure 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches and were drawn with micron pens and Prismacolor markers/pencils.

The Year of Otis Begins: You're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat

A couple of months ago, a card collector named George (who I have previously blogged about HERE) paid me a generous sum to draw him three personal sketch cards for each month in the year of 2008.  He called it "The Year of Otis".

This is the first card, George.  Hope you like it:
