I forget where I heard about him, but there is an artist by the name of Chris Giarrusso who does daily sketch cards and puts them up for sale on his website. He also does other artwork, and has some published comic work for Marvel as well as his own creation, G-Man, a kid-friendly comic series.
I ordered one of his daily sketch cards, and it came inside a greeting card-sized advertisement for the G-Man comics. It looks like there are four books in the G-Man series, as well as a webcomic. The publication date on the most recent book is in 2015, so I don't know if there are more coming out. The webcomic is still going strong, but I am not 100% sure how the webcomic ties in to the books.
The sketch card I ordered was inside of the greeting card, being presented by the G-Man character. The sketch features a character that shows up a lot on my blog, DC's Power Girl. There are a lot of sketch cards and covers in his shop, so if you are a fan of someone in particular, there is a chance he might have something in stock. Some of his sketch covers are pretty neat. I am always happy to add a new artist to my collection, and I like the way this sketch depicts Power Girl in Giarrusso's distinctive art style.
I love Chris' artwork. I got to see him at Wizard World Philly a few times around 2005-2009ish. Love his playful style.
ReplyDeleteI like his art style, too. I've got my eye on a bunch of stuff from his store, but there are so many artists to chase that I have a hard time revisiting someone I've already bought something from.
DeleteHis style of art makes me think the good will always come out on top. I like it!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it does have that optimistic feel to it.
