We're back. Apologies for the missing edition last week but, you know, time off for good behavior or something. What we like to do each week is gather up the coolest comic book art that will never appear in actual comics. The reason you won't see these fine pieces of art in comics is because artists often do sketches and commissions and post them on their blogs, Tumblrs and Twitter pages. Some artists even pre-arrange commissions through their sites so be sure to check them out.
Marcio Takara is taking pre-commissions for NYCC on his Tumblr. Check out what he's posted so far. His Cassandra Cain makes me wanna cry over her absence in the New 52.
Todd Nauck posted a couple Wolverine pics for some good causes. Check out his Tumblr for more info. He also posted one of Koj from TELLOS by the late and grate Mike Wieringo.
Chris Burnham was at Wizard World Chicago and posted some of the sketches he did on his Twitter.
J. Scott Campbell was also at WWC and posted some of his sketches on his Instagram.
Agnes Garbowska continues her world tour of comic conventions (at least it seems like she's always going somewhere). She'll be at FanExpo coming up soon in Canada. You can find her schedule on her Tumblr. And we'll bend the rules a little here, the Red Sonja piece was from and exclusive cover at Larry's Comics for RED SONJA #2.
Brett Booth posted a pic of Guardian from Alpha Flight along with some BATMAN/SUPERMAN art on his blog!
Freddie E Williams II posted a couple sketches on his TwitPic page this week.
Joel Gomez posted a few new pieces on his Tumblr this week.
Dustin Nguyen posted (or maybe reposted) some cool Mr. Freeze pics on his Tumblr in honor of Michael Ansara, the voice actor in Batman: TAS, who recently passed at 91.
Robert Atkins posted some new art on his blog. Always cool seeing his G.I. Joe pics.
Peter Nguyen posted some new art on his Tumblr. He'll be at FanExpo and NYCC so head over to his Tumblr for info on pre-commissions.
Skottie Young was at Wizard World Chicago as well and posted a bunch of art he did as well as an Axe Cop pic on his Tumblr.
That's it for this week. What did you think of all these glorious pieces? We'll have more next time.
