How Superheroes Use Social Media

How Superheroes Use Social Media is a series of illustrations I created as a personal project of mine. It all began with a Batman sketch in my sketchbook and then it started to take on a life of its own.

Some of these are available as prints on Etsy. I hope you enjoy them (and feel free to share)!

Here's the first one I did in the series:

And the inevitable (and usually inappropriate) selfie on Instagram by the Wonder Twins.

As I mentioned, a few of the above illustrations are available as giclée prints at my Etsy store.

Illustrator Gathering- October 2013

Ed Shems, Gary LaCoste, Lauren Scheuer, Lisa Graves and Jannie Ho

The Creative Relay website has an article about a recent gathering of illustrators which I was a part of recently. I hung out with some fantastic illustrators: Gary LaCoste, Lauren Scheuer, Lisa Graves and Jannie Ho and we discussed everything from what we're working on in our studios to what types of drawing tools we use.

Check out the article HERE.

And here's the awesome illustration Gary did depicting our gathering:

Gleek!

Here's Gleek to follow up from my last post with the Wonder Twins.

Did he have any actual powers?

You know the drill. "Form of (some sort of animal). Form of (Something useless made out of water)."

The above is an off-shoot of a big personal project I've been working on recently which I'll be rolling out soon. If you like super heroes juxtaposed with modern technology, keep an eye here.
