Golden Age Sandman

A few hours ago I put the final touches on an illustration project I’ve been working on over the past month for Hero Games, so now I’m enjoying that dead tired-yet-satisfied feeling that comes from turning work in on time. I’ll post some of the illustrations from the book, Urban Fantasy Hero, once it hits stores, but for now I thought I’d share a quick Golden Age Sandman drawing I did for this month’s jam over at the Drawing Board.


I love drawing Golden Age characters, and pulp-influenced characters in particular, so the Sandman was my first choice when I saw that the November drawing jam was about characters from the 1930’s. The only problem was that I couldn’t decide which version I preferred— b&w or color—so I posted ‘em both.
On a related note, Jon Morris and I will be starting up our friendly cartooning joust, The Golden Age Shoot-out soon, where we challenge each other to drawing different comic book characters, panels and/or covers from the 1930’s-1950’s.

And in other news, for alla youse who read French, there's an article about me in the French online magazine Expressions, written by cool journalist Philippe Guerry. There's also a page from Paranormal vol.3 in the article, just in case you're interested.(click on the "Expressions en pdf" link under the picture of the magazine) Happy reading!
