AUDREY KATANA

This was done for our friend Maryanne Snell, whose soon-to-be born second child is going to be named Audrey Katana. So, she and her husband Bruce asked for a drawing of Audrey Hepburn in place of Uma Thurman on the cover of Kill Bill.

THE FLASH

BOXING DAY TREATS

A couple of commissions done for people who wanted to give presents to their significant others.

Hulk vs Wolverine

MADMAN & JOE

This was a piece done for Chad Blakely's Madman collection. It's painted with acrylic, which is a medium I rarely use, sized at about 10 1/2" X 18 1/2". The size made it a little difficult to scan/photograph, but here is the best shot we have of it.

At some point, I'm supposed to do a piece for Mike Allred to run in the Madman Atomic Comics series.

TRIPTYCH: A FLAPPER'S NIGHT OUT

Maryanne Snell, who works as an outside editor on most of Jamie's books, commissioned three pieces with the instruction that she wanted three flapper drawings that she could hang on her wall. I chose to make it a night on the town, from getting ready, to arriving at the club, to coming home.

SMASHING PUMPKINS

One of the commissions I finished this week.

REJECTS

I'm getting caught up on commissions, so if you've been waiting, your wait is almost over. Thanks for your patience.

A couple of initial sketches didn't go quite right, so I abandoned them. In such a case, I often flip the paper over and start again. So, two people will be getting these little surprises on the back of their main piece.

THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING

It was my honor to be asked to be part of Steven Gettis' excellent collection of comics artists drawing literary figures. I chose to do a character from one of my favorite books, Sabina from The Unbearable Lightness of Being.

IT'S BEEN A BUSY WEEK

Sorry for not posting more.

This was done for my friend Martin's birthday.

SANDMAN: DREAMS OF GAIMAN

That title will be a lot funnier to those of you who went to the masquerade at Comic Con this year. Say it out loud in a slow, ostentatious manner, and maybe you'll hear it.

Anyway, here are a few commissions I've done of the Endless. Delirium and Dream were actually done at conventions.

Thanks to Rob for sending scans of those two. If you have sketches that I've done at conventions that you don't think I have copies of and you have access to a scanner, please send them to the gmail address.

The picture below came out quite nice, I think. I'm thumbnailing it here because it's wide, but you can click on it to go to a larger version at Jamie's Flickr account.

KISS OF THE SPIDER-MAN

A list of prices and available pages from 12 Reasons Why I Love Her can now be downloaded from the sidebar to your right.

This piece was commissioned at Comic-Con, but was actually drawn back home when the show was over.

And since we're talking Spidey, this Gwen Stacey drawing is from earlier this year.

GIRLS WITH STYLE

A couple of recent commissions, done for the same collector.
