Rough Monday: The Widow Bites

I’m obsessed with these new TOMBOW markers! Playing around with blending and such.

Also, I LOVED the Avengers movie… so here’s a Scar-Jo inspired piece for an upcoming art auction at the Albany Comic-Con. The image will also be part of a limited-edition print for VIP ticket holders. Anyone going to the Albany show?

Rough Monday: Manga Markers

So I’ve started experimenting with markers again, and I discovered these “Manga Markers.” For a first try, I thought I’d take a stab at Phoenix …

Not 100% happy with it, but still playing with some techniques…

So, yesterday was my birthday, and ace cartoonist John Hazard (of the ever awesome Frankenstein Superstar) conjured up this birthday greeting from the Hero Business’ own Demonatrix! I just had to share it in this week’s Rough Monday.

WoW! Thanks, John! She never looked better.

Rough Monday: Reality Show Mystery Mash-Up

by Hero Business C.E.O. on April 30, 2012 at 10:05 am
Posted In: Blog, Rough Mondays, Water Cooler Discussion

First, an update: Due to Boston Comic-Con and a hellish catch-up week, there was no new strip last Friday. As faithful readers know,  I’ve never missed a weekly deadline… but due to a confluence of events, this was unavoidable. My apologies. I assure you, though, this week’s strip is already begun and we’re back on track this week.

Now, onto the fun stuff… it’s time for another mystery mash-up, Heroites!

The theme for the next “The Line Is Drawn” over at CBR’s Comics Should Be Good: “”Comic book characters on reality shows”.

Take a look at this sketch…

Correctly identify both:
1. The reality show being spoofed AND
2. The comic book city that’s the subject of this mash-up.

E-mail your guesses (please do not post below), and for the first person to identify correctly, I’ll do a pencil sketch of any character of your choosing!

Get the guessing begin!
