The Strange Case of Mr. Hyde #2

Issue 2 hits comic shelves today!
If you don't want to go to a comic shop you can order online here.

Here's an 6 page preview

The Catcher in the Rye

The Hound of the Baskervilles

I did this as a donation for the silent auction on May 28th at Davenport and Winkleperry Gallery to benefit The Undershaw Preservation Trust. The silent auction is to help raise money to protect and preserve Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's former house from being torn down and turned into a bunch of modern townhomes.

Here's the original inks that will be auctioned.

The Strange Case of Mr. Hyde #1

Today the first issue of The Strange Case of Mr. Hyde hit shelves! Huzzah!
Written by the brilliant Cole Haddon, and colored by the masterful Jim Campbell.

This is the first comic series I've done thats been published and boy was it a doozy but probably one of the things I'm most proud of accomplishing. I've certainly learned a lot about things and stuff while drawing it.

So if you like my art, which I'm guessing you do if your looking at my blog, and you like the history of Jack the Ripper and the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, please go pick up the first issue!  And of course stick around through all four issues, it will be good for your health! Go go go!

Here's an preview for you to taste and see

Art Winners!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

Really, a lot of these were hilarious to read, you people have some wild ideas.
A few involved characters from books that I've never read and now want to so that I can know what on earth was being referenced. And some were just so over the top it would take forever for me to draw quickly like this, but I still should draw them, and maybe someday I will..

But, what follows are the five I chose to draw. They are all ink washed so when I send them you'll have an original piece. If you see yours email me at corleyms (at) yahoo (dot) com and I'll mail it out to you!

Thanks again for playing!

What should I art?

I haven't drawn anything non work related in a while, so how about you guys give me an idea of what I should draw (keep it PG please). Just make a suggestion of what to draw on this post and I'll pick a couple that sound fun and draw them, and if I choose yours I'll mail it to you for free.

How about that? Free art!

I'll choose on Wednesday the 20th so anything posted from now till then is fair game.

UPDATE!

Thanks for all the comments guys! Great response for this, I'll probably do it again if I continue to have this kind of response.
I was just going to do two pieces but there are so many fantastic ideas I'm probably going to do a handful more. 

Check back later and see if I chose yours.

You met me at a very strange time in my life

A recent commission I did, and one of my favorite movies growing up.

City Church Birthday Card

Made this for my home church for Birthday cards to be sent out to the Kids.
If you couldn't tell, the dog is a tribute to Cinnamon, so I can share her with more people. And the cat is my new cat Dinah.

Dr. Wily

One Year Later

Feb 5th marks one year since Cinnamon passed away.
Quite a difficult day for us, hard to think its been such a long time since we had her with us, and such a short time too.
We miss her every single day.

I drew this from one of my favourite pictures I have of her, sitting and looking up at me.

Marquis de Fabre

A bit of fan art from BPRD: The Universal Machine.
The Marquis has been one of my favorite villans in BPRD, sad they couldn't bring Roger back though..

Pastor Wendell Smith

Last night was the memorial service for our founding pastor whom passed away on December 19th.
He was a great man and wonderful teacher, probably one of the funniest and most entertaining Pastors I've ever had. An inspiration to a great many people. He will be missed very much.
