When I went on vacation last month, my mp3 player crapped out on me. So instead of dozing & listening to music during the flight, I drew my view of the plane from my seat (1st row, aisle).
100 Kirbys: The Aftermath
Thanks to everyone who bought a Kirby sketch! What a great way to celebrate the life of comics’ greatest creator.
A lot of the sketches are still available, and I will continue to donate to Hero Initiative as each piece sells.
As always, each Kirby sketch can be had for a minimum fee of $5.00.
Email me, Twitter, Instagram, or leave a reply on my blog.

To any new followers or onlookers since I started the 100 Kirbys project, or even since I started the sketchcards:
Sorry.
Theme months are over and done with for a while.
As dumb as this sketch is, it felt really good to draw something so dumb and not Kirby-related or a nerd-culture headshot portrait trading card. Don’t worry, I’ll be back to that stuff soon, but I’ll be littering in more weird stuff.
Meanwhile, a good majority of the Kirby sketches are still available. Let me know if you want one.

Annihilus
Funky Flashman
Galactus

Ending the 100 Kirbys with three of Jack’s greatest, deadliest villains.
I took a little artistic license with Funky Flashman. I think Kirby would have approved.
So, all the Kirby sketches are a minimum of 5 bucks.
Except Galactus. I drew him on 11 x 17 bristol board, so he’s gonna go for a minimum of 10, or best offer.
It’s the end of the month, any money I’ve raised will be going to The Hero Initiative tonight. Any remaining sketches that anyone wants, I will still gladly offer for a minimum $5, and still donate. Just ask! There are still quite a few left.

I had a real brain hurty trying to decide if I wanted to include Adam Warlock in my 100 Kirbys list. While technically, Kirby did create him (or, as he was known back then “Him”), I always think of Jim Starlin or Gil Kane when I think of Warlock. Ultimately you can see my decision, but, seriously, I wavered on this for quite a while. I think I finally decided to do go for it when I realized that, honestly, there are a ton of other characters I’ve drawn that wound up in very different states and situations than Kirby probably ever intended.

Today is the day. Happy 100th Birthday, Jack Kirby. Thought I’d mega-load today’s post with characters from Kirby’s magnum-opus, The New Gods/Fourth World saga.
I have really enjoyed drawing most of these characters up to this point. I wish I hadn’t rushed through some of them to make the date, but I wanted to be ahead of the game. Perils of having a job.
