Q: You did a lot of comic book conventions in 2014. Have there been any people coming to you, showing you their drawings and asking for your professional opinion? Could you give them some kind of advice? Did you like it to do?¬¨‚Ć A: Yes, that happens a lot. This can be an uncomfortable situation, especially when the work being shown is not very good.

It’s been a few years… so here is another Great Art Blow-out Sale! Well, only 10 pieces but they are of vintage nature.

Darin has posted a couple of sneak peeks of the first few pages on the official Sitcomics Facebook page, pencils/ink by… READ MORE

This is Winona Ryder in her role as Mina Murray (Harker) from Bram Stoker’s Dracula… a film that has the dual honor of being probably the most faithful adaptation of the original Stoker novel ever, and having the most horrific performance of an English accent by and actor since Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins courtesy of Keanu Reeves.
