my 197 ( i got three rejected) sketch cards for Ritternhouse Archive's "X-Men Archives" trading card set that was released today.
Most of the Rittenhouse sets I've done to date (sans the Woverine set i also did recently) have been in a normal "comic book" style.... so i REALLY wanted to approach these with the "cute" style and have some fun. the colors are more vibrant in person and some of them (like the dazzlers, gambits, icemans, etc) have GLITTER on them. ha!
( a TON more behind the cut )

so i finished up putting together my 2009 convention sketchbooks! they're on their way to the printer.
they will be available starting at the san diego comic con next month. there are TWO different books (just like last year)... the edition with my regular and cute work and one that's more pin-up, curvy girly work. i will NOT be taking orders before san deigo, as i'm doing a limited run of 200 of each. i will then take the remaining books to Wizard World Chicago. any books left after wizard world chicago will then be available online.
they will be available for $10 each at the show, so start saving yer' pennies ;)
i even left a fancy-pants area in the front for me to sign it ;P
