Kickstarter, oh and a Harley Quinn Sketchcard

Hey everyone!  The video pretty much explains it all but here's the scoop. 

I've launched a kickstarter to help me get a table at Toronto Comic-Con 2106!

You can pledge as little as $10 and in return you get original art you'll never see anywhere and prints of cards I've already done!

I explain it all in the video.

If you want to get right down to business the kickstarter link is right here:

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Quinte ToyCon

If you watched the Captain Cold sketchcard video before you are reading this you already knew my big news.

I'm going to have my first ever table at a convention selling art!  That's right,  the Quinte Toy Con on August 23rd will be my first outing as an artist! 

I have already sold a few commissions privately but that had taken a lot  of advertising and run around for the most part unless I knew the buyer before. I'm hoping that this event will set me up for success at another which I will announce once I'm confirmed for it.

So if you live in the Belleville, Ontario area drop by my table on August 23rd and get some  art!

Sketchcard Captain Cold

Hey everyone,  this week with the number of videos I've been able to record,  and after listening to The Flash Podcast I put together this Captain Cold sketchcard!

I'm really loving being able to create these cars and it seems like people are really digging them that see them on Twitter.

Sketchcards

Hey everyone I know I have been away for a while but you know how life gets in the way of hobbies and all that. I'm happy to say that I am back and I've already recorded a bunch of videos for the coming weeks!

I spent last weekend at comicon in Toronto and spent way too much money on art and toys and things and it got m thinking about how I can somehow collect more art for a cheaper price and possibly sell a bit more of my own art. 

Which brings me to sketchcards. I saw a few people selling these cards and I was intregued at the time but didn't get any. After I got home though I thought about how cool it would be to be able to go to the tables of the pros with little hockey card sized paper and ask for a sketch.   Most likely a lot of them would do something quick and much cheaper than their usual rates.

It also had me thinking about how I'm having a bit of a hard time selling to an unfocused audience on the local Facebook page and such, and these cards would offer a lower price point and a more highly collectable format which might be  interesting to more people.

And so, with a week of drawing a huge bristol board commission to think about it before starting out on the cards, I have drawn, inked and coloured my first batch of 9 cards!

Linked below is the first Wonder Woman card I've done!

If you are interested in buying any sketchcards,  just send me an email! themightychrispy@gmail.com and let me know, I plan to have a bit of an inventory list up soon. But I will take requests as well!

Group Fight

This  week's video is a big group fight and Marvel vs DC as well. It was suggested  to me by Emmy of Emmy's Art World to do a multi person battle and so this is what I came up with.  Sorry the video is a bit late but a family trip kind of got in the way.

Enjoy.
