So I’m back from Boston Comic-Con and I still have some prints available. I know some fans wanted to buy some of these, so for the next few weeks, I’ll be taking orders while quantities last.

Each print is 11×17″ and suitable for framing, printed on Glossy Paper (80lb Text). Here’s what’s available (CLICK TO ENLARGE):

Each print is $15.00, postpaid within the Continental United States. I’m also running a special, buy two get one FREE, so that’d be 3 prints for $30.00, postpaid. International fans, please add an additional $5.00 for shipping.

I accept payment through PayPal. Please use the button below and indicate which prints you’d like in the “Instructions to Merchant” section!

Prints: How Many?

Thanks!

Rough Monday: Boston Comic-Con Commissions

by Hero Business C.E.O. on April 23, 2012 at 1:49 pm
Posted In: Blog, Rough Mondays, Water Cooler Discussion

Back from a super-successful, awesomely-fun Boston Comic-Con experience! Definitely one of my favorite cons. And with that, a whole slew of commissions and sketches… taken with my iPhone. I was very busy this year…

*** CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE ***

The first pre-show commission for Boston Comic-Con… it’s the Young Justice kids in their adult forms from the “Sins of Youth” crossover event!

Ah, another pre-con Boston Comic-Con commission… here’s Atom’s Teen Titans during their visit to Skartaris!

“The Whiz”: Another prelim Boston Comic-Con commission request… this dude is from DC’s Kingdom Come, the son of Captain Marvel Jr. and Mary Marvel. Sha-ZAM!

The request for Avatar: The Last Airbender. I’m a HUGE fan of the series and this was going into a sketchbook with some serious artwork. Pressure! In the ends, I just had to add in Katara and Sokka. I want  to re-do this one in color!

The request for Impulse!

The request was for Lin-Z Pierce from Jem!

The super-cool Boston fangirls returned this year with the most awesome requests for yours truly! 🙂 The request was for “big hair” Starfire, so I obliged!

A Scarlet Witch commission!

The request for de-aged Loki and Damian Wayne. Ho-boy, so many possibilities with this one!! I decided to play up the different way the boys would approach a mission…

Here’s an Indiana Jones request — never drew him before, so this was fun!

Here’s Steve Rogers: Super Soldier… ready for action!

Here’s “Honest Jon”, a creator-owned character!

Damian Wayne, who is too much fun to draw.

A 90s Superboy commission, per request!

So this is a thing that happened. Dr. Doom stiffed Cage for $200 and he flew to Latveria to confront Lord Doom… and uttered this exact phrase. Only in the 70s! A hilariously fun commission to close out the con!

Thanks to EVERYONE who stopped by to see me! It was a great show – even better than last year! 😀

Rough Monday: The Whiz

For this week’s “Rough Monday,” I thought I’d share a prelim commission I prepared for the upcoming Boston Comic-Con April 21st-22nd. Here’s The Whiz … this dude is from DC’s Kingdom Come, the son of Captain Marvel Jr. and Mary Marvel. Sha-ZAM!

If you’re in the Boston area this weekend, stop by the con and say “hi!” I’ll have Hero Business collections, prints, art card and other surprises. Here’s a taste of some freshly printed prints:

Rough Monday: Revisiting the Sins of Youth

by Hero Business C.E.O. on April 2, 2012 at 3:00 pm
Posted In: Blog, Rough Mondays, Water Cooler Discussion

For this week’s Rough Monday, I’m sharing the preliminary sketch of a new commission… the Young Justice kids in their adult personas from the “Sins of Youth” crossover event…

This is in preparation for Boston Comic-Con, where I’ll have a table in Artist’s Alley. You can order a commission ($20/character) pre-show, if you’d like. It was an awesome show last year and I’m looking forward to seeing some Heroites in attendance!

Also, if you’d like to see the pencil sketches of the “Rough Monday” guessing game winners, just “like” our Facebook page.

The cover for collection #3 was based on Superman #2 by John Byrne.

And last week’s Mystery Cover Mash-Up was X-Men #1 merged with “The Facts of Life” television series. You can see the finished piece here.

Thanks for playing, everyone!
