We Now Return You to The Program Already In Progress

Been a while, huh? Hand issues (the same ones that held me up last year...) have kept me from the drawing board for the better part of 2 months, but I seem to be back in the swing of things. More updates with art will be forthcoming.

No, Really...I'm Still Here.

It has been a crazy month, hence the lack of postings. This week I'm heading out to Disney World for a family vacation so I figured I should get something up before I leave. Here are the mini paintings I had available at Detroit Fanfare. All were created on 4x4 canvas with acrylic paint.

 

My plan for the Disney trip is to do some sort of nightly sketch. Something quick and related to Disney (Pixar, the Muppets...that type of stuff). I'll post those on my Tumblr page via my iPhone and make scans of the sketches when I return and post them here. 

When I return I'll have some fun news about my upcoming project.

Detroit Rcok City

This weekend is the Detroit Fan Fare, which I will be attending. I'll be at table 206 in Artists Alley with  some prints, sketchbooks, and some new paintings for sale. I will also be doing sketches all weekend ($5 head sketches with gray tones). If you're in the Detroit area stop on by and say "hi"!

She's a Wonder

Somebody is ready to kick some butt! This commission of Wonder Woman was a lot of fun. The request was for "my" Wonder Woman, so I decided to go with an armored look.

The tools:
9x12 Bristol Board
Pentel Brush Pen
Prismacolor and Copic Markers

Painting Commissions

I will be accepting painting commissions for those interested. Paintings on 5x7 or 6x6 canvas will run you $35, any character you would like. Price includes shipping. All other commission 'rules' apply. Email requests to kurtwood81@gmail.com.

Paintings Gallery

That's right! I got all artsy and created some paintings. These were a lot of fun to do (and very easy on my stupid injured hand...). I will definitely be creating more paintings in the future. For now here is a look at the paintings I have completed and (for the most part) sold at Chicago Comic-Con.

Chicago Comic-Con Post Mortem

Well, another con has come and gone and I'm happy to report the Chicago Comic-Con was huge success! Original art (including my paintings!) was sold, my Buffy print sold out (and I saw many copies signed by the actors!), sketches were drawn, and Chuck's and Portillo's was eaten. Thank you to everyone who stopped by my table to chat and buy my scribbles. A big thanks to my "enforcer" Jack (We'll come up with a better nickname eventually) for helping me run the table all weekend. Having the extra set of hands was a big help.

Here is a look at the table on Saturday morning.

Here is the sign promoting my figure sketches with a bit of a celebrity endorsement. Thanks buddy.

On to the art! Here are some sketches I was commissioned to create thru out the weekend. This is a mix of quickie head sketches (about 3-5 minutes), figure sketches (about 20-40 minutes), and crayon sketches (about 3-5 minutes).

Wizard World Chicago Comic-Con Rundown

Wizard World Chicago Comic-Con starts this Thursday (8/11) with Preview Night and yours truly will be set up in Artist Alley. Make sure stop by and say “hi” and maybe buy some stuff. Here is a rundown of what I’ll have available.

I will have 3 Doctor Who Prints, 2 of which are brand new. These prints are 11x17 and will only set you back $5 per print.

This will be the first convention where I have a con exclusive print. My Buffy the Vampire Slayer Print will be limited to 25 copies and will only cost you $5, so make sure to swing by and snag one for yourself before they are gone.

I will also have some paintings available. Yes, paintings…on canvas. All paintings are done in acrylic and will vary in price between $20 and $25.

Various original art will be available (including the original art for the 2 new Doctor Who Prints and the BTVS Print). No original art will cost more than $50.00, with a lot of great pieces for under $20.

My 2 sketchbooks will be available for $3 or 2 for $5.

As usual I will be creating custom convention sketches thrusucky hand and allow me to fully focus on quality over speed. Figure drawings will cost $10 and come on 9x12 Bristol board and have tone shading. Full color will run you $15 dollars and will be done in glorious crayon!

Thursday I will only be doing quickie head sketches. These sketches are pretty popular (kids seem to really dig them) and will only cost you $2. You read that correctly…only $2.

See ya at the con!

Grrr Argh!

A peek at my Chicago Comic-Con exclusive Buffy print. This print is strictly limited to 25 copies and will cost only $5. That's right...$5. Make sure to come on by my table and snag one for your self.
