| Tuesday, July 27, 2010 Comic Twart - Maggie of Love and Rockets
Hey all!
I'm excited because this was my week to once again pick the character for Comic Twart.
I picked one of my all time favorite comic characters, Margarita Luisa "Maggie" Chascarrillo of Love and Rockets.
After reading comics for a few years as a kid, and deciding I wanted to draw them, I quit reading them. At the time I just felt I needed to get away from comics if I wanted to draw them well. When I finally did come back around, some time in college, it was Love and Rockets that helped me fall in love with the medium again.
I'm a huge fan of Jaime Hernandez, who is arguable one of the best draughtsman and story tellers in comics, and just know I'm not doing Maggie justice, But here is my humble tribute to a comic that I love.
In the pencil stage I had planned on putting myself in the piece holding a sign saying "ˇGracias, Xaime!", but it felt too presumptuous. So I changed it to the mystery hand calling Maggie off page. You figure out who it might be ;)

| Friday, July 23, 2010 She Hulk
This is a "thank you" gift for a gentleman who brought some wonderful wine from the vineyard he works at to the charity cookout a few weeks back. Never drew She Hulk before, and not entirely sure I got her right...
Anyway, thought you might like it.
Best,
Mike

Trying to catch up on some old Comic Twart subjects so I can jump into this weeks, a tribute to the late Harvey Pekar.
Last week's was 1960's Nick Fury. Been feeling kinda "cartoony", so I ran with it. Hope you enjoy.
best,
Mike
