Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Blue Beetle by Mike Norton
Thursday, June 19th, 2008This’n's a bit different. There’s an awesome comic artist by the name of Mike Norton, who’s work you can find at www.ihatemike.com. Mike and I both have a love for Blue Beetle, and while doing a random google search for Blue Beetle art, I stumbled upon this con-sketch Mike had done for someone (here):
I thought it was awesome. And then I got a real “bug” up my ass to “finish” the drawing. Using Adobe Illustrator, I did. By no means am I taking credit for Mike’s work, I just wanted to do something fun with a drawing of my favorite comic character of all-time, by one of my favorite comic artists.
Read Green Arrow/Black Canary. It’s good. Visit Mike’s blog for more arty goodness. Listen to the Crankcast for random hilarity.

Wanted to try a more traditional pen and ink illustrative style, with shadows and highlights, midtones, etc. Took a long time, especially for an impatient spastic like me. I did a lot of this while watching “The Departed”. Good film. Don’t know why it took so long to watch it. I even really liked Leonardo DiCaprio in it.
