PHOEBE NYX Custom Burlesque Art! Green Ukuleles! Stickers!

Here is a fun project for a local friend who performs under the nifty nom de plume of Phoebe Nyx! She's a very talented and sassy retro singer, dancer, and musician, who wanted to create some eye-catching calling-card branding for her character and line! We worked tirelessly on a pose that captured Phoebe's charm, playfulness, and her trademark ukulele! Click image below to enlarge!


Below: Performer Phoebe Nyx, known for her lime-green 
outfits and equally-tinted ukulele!




Below: Trying to come up with a pose and (more importantly) an attitude 
that matches this playful performer!



Below: Refining the pose in pencil, as well as starting work on
the facial caricature!




Below: After much tweaking, we have the final inked face! Look at that smile!




Below: The fully-refined penciled figure is ready to be inked!




Below: The inked figure, with added brackets and details!




Below: The finished illustration, with coloring, and added logo!




Below: A stand-alone illo of "Elphie," Phoebe's famed uke!



Below: The finished stickers! Phoebe will give these away at shows and events,
as a sort of colorful and collectible "business card!"





Below two images: It's Phoebe herself, with the finished sensational stickers!

THE INTRUDERS! Unseen 1990 Artwork! Special Guest--George Perez!

Here are some unseen pages from a wonderful (but unpublished) comics series I pencilled, from 1990, THE INTRUDERS! Imagine ASTRO CITY (we were years earlier) mixed with PULP FICTION (we were years earlier), and you've got a pretty good idea of the tone of this gritty superhero series, thick with past continuity, mystery, and intrigue! Click images to enlarge!



Below three images: Some exciting pages from what was to be the first issue, with inks by Dan Schaefer!





Below two images: Some pencilled pages from the unpublished third issue of THE INTRUDERS, with plots and scripts by Ed Fuqua!




Below: That's right! George Perez drew (what was to be) the cover for our first issue! It was a real kick seeing how such a master comics artist depicted characters I designed and co-created!



Below: The art used for an ad in a 1990 issue of COMICS BUYER'S GUIDE!



Below: Me, circa 1990, at the drawing board! Note the CBG ad posted behind me!
