Apologies, apologies, apologies. Hoooweeee, I almost went a whole month without updating this thing.
Anyhow, I was showing my buddy Jason a couple of things in Photoshop and he convinced me to post this and it seemed like a great idea seeing as I haven't posted anything in quite a while. I know its got a bunch of problems but this was a 15 minute quick-sketch so that's my excuse hehehehe.
I just learned a little while ago that Mike Wieringo passed away this Sunday. You can read more about it here: newsarama.com
I can't even express how shocked and saddened I am by this news. When I was mostly making my living as an inker in the comics industry, I had always wanted to ink over his pencils. I was and continue to be a huge fan of his work. I always dug his style and the fact that he had his own take on things when everyone in the industry around the time I discovered his work was scrambling to put as many ticks and cross-hatching on everything they drew. His drawing approach had an ease and a subtle playfulness to it that I found well, cool as sh*t.
On top of that he had a killer signature!
God bless you Mike and thank you for inspiring me with your work. My condolences go out to his family.
