PropStore has my two Hunchback of Notre Dame pieces coming up for auction August 26-27:
These are them:
They are quite large:
Bid early. Bid often.
Hunchbacks for sale…
Andre’s Gerebuses…
From rough to pencil to ink and tone:
(not sure if the movie thing will work or not, so here’s the steps)
couple of roughs…
I’ve been working on 6 or 7 different projects at the same time.
Problem is, it doesn’t feel like I’m getting anywhere on any given one of them.
Here’s rough pencil drawings of a couple of them:
I got nuthin’…..
…I’m drawing a blank…
…tune in next week for more exciting developments!
Happy Canada Day!
And now…
Last week my stomach hurt.
This week, it’s Thor:
Lou assigned me to add a back ground to this sketch that would obliterate the dedication.
Since Lou’s name isn’t Travis.
Ta-Da!
Surf’s Up!
…and now a word from The Inker:
…and here’s why:
I get asked a lot if my hand cramps up.
No.
I hold the pen very loosely. It’s my neck, back and stomach that cramp up.
Just replace “pitcher’s mound” with “drawing board” and this is my life:
Surf and Sun…
Cory sent a Ron Lim Silver Surfer to which I was to add a background:
While trying to figure out what to do, I amused myself by pasting the Surfer onto my scan of the original art for the cover of Cerebus 111:
But what I ended up going with is this:
When suddenly the weather changed and it’s like the middle of a summer heat-wave. Quick! Pencils down! To the porch!
Jeff’s sister’s dog…
Jeff commissioned me to do a drawing for his sister’s birthday.
If this looks like its head has been pasted on from a different dog…
…that’s because it looks exactly like its head has been pasted on from a different dog…
Virtual Con…
Comic Art Fans is hosting an online Virtual Comic Art Convention.
Charles Costas will have a “booth” featuring some of my Cerebus original art.
Here’s Charles now:
“To all those who are fans of Gerhard’s art, I wanted to let you know about an online comic art convention that will be happening on ComicArtFans (CAF) next weekend (May 30-31). Since we’re all in different states of lockdown and there haven’t been any large in-person conventions since February, Bill Cox over at CAF is trying his best to mimic the look and feel of a live comic art show with his Comic Art Live event. For the Comic Art Live event, collectors and dealers can set up virtual tables that will open at 10AM EST on May 30th for CAF Premium Members and at 12PM EST for everyone else to visit and purchase items. It closes at 6PM EST on May 31st.
I will have a booth for the event titled “Chuck Costas’ Cherry Blossom Explosion.” Each booth is limited to showcasing 18 pieces of art so I’ve had to choose wisely. I’m proud to say that five of those pieces of art will be “fresh” Cerebus pages from Gerhard’s personal collection. I’ll even let this group know that one of those is a coveted cover! There may be even be a splash and/or double-page spread ?. I expect that pieces will go very fast, so for those that are interested, I’d encourage you to stop by my booth as soon as it opens. Please contact me through CAF so I can respond to people in the order I receive them. The first person to send me an e-mail me through CAF confirming that they want it will get to reserve each piece.
Mark your calendar for this fun event… and if you haven’t signed up for your CAF premium membership, there’s still time to do so.
Stay well during these challenging times… and use these times to enjoy collecting! If you have any questions in advance, feel free to reach out (although I won’t be revealing the exact pieces up for sale until the sale starts).”
