Upcoming Headstatic Contest News!

Posted on April 29, 2010 by Jason McLellan| Leave a comment

Hey hey everyone! Although this will be a really short blog post it’s still worth reading. Why you ask? Simple…CONTEST TIME!

Next week I will be announcing all the cool details of my 2nd annual “Name my sketchbook contest!” I will also post the original illustration that will be awarded to the winner along with some other grand news. But in the meantime be sure to put on your thinking caps and give me a super clever awesome name because not only could you win an original illustration from yours truly but it could also make you famous.

Like really really famous.

Keeping with the headstatic tradition, whenever I don’t have any art to post, I resort to posting photos of my super secret celebrity girlfriend Scarlett Johansson. The photo above is of course from the upcoming Iron Man 2 film with hits theaters May 7th. Scarlett will be playing the role of the Black Widow, who is one of, if not my favorite Marvel femme fatale.*

Enjoy and be sure to check back soon for all the contest details.

*Editor’s note: this marks the first time Jason has mentioned that Scarlett will be playing the Black Widow without going into a geek seizure and passing out.

Sketch Card Giveaway Contest Part 2

Posted on April 12, 2010 by Jason McLellan| Leave a comment

Ok guys and gals (rawr) it’s time for second installment of my Twitter sketch card giveaway contest! That’s right folks you have another chance to win a sketch card from yours truly. The last winner was located in Canada and received a nifty Elektra sketch card featured in this post.

Now I bet you are asking yourself “How the hell do I enter already?” Ok ok chill out or hold your horses or cool your jets or whatever it is you need to do to calm down. The instructions are listed below and are so easy it’s ridiculous. Ridiculous I say!

1. Login into Twitter (if you don’t have an account…well get one…duh)
2. Follow me http://twitter.com/manji675
3. Tweet the following message only once: @manji675 I want that sketch card!

Please be sure to include the @manji675 because otherwise I probably won’t see your tweet. And by probably I mean I won’t see it.

That’s it! How much easier could it be?

I will randomly select the winner by reaching into my magic hat of delight and will then send that person a direct message asking for their mailing address. Oh also as before if Scarlett Johansson enters (hey you never know) this contest will be void and she will win.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Good luck everyone!

Sketch Cards for the Marvel 70th Anniversary Set Part 1

Posted on April 8, 2010 by Jason McLellan| Leave a comment

It’s official! I can finally start posting the sketch cards I did for the Marvel 70^th Anniversary edition set. As some of you already know this was my first venture into the sexy and intrigue-filled world of sketch cards and I have to say it was a real blast.

I also have to say I was completely amazed at how many times I had to reference the costumes of the characters. Good God! I mean sure I had no issue with my favorite Marvel characters (Daredevil, Black Widow, Elektra, Spidey, etc) but characters like Loki? I knew that his helmet had long curled horns on it and he wore yellow and green. That’s it.

Speaking of green, anyone else out there every notice how many frikkin’ Marvel characters are either green and purple or green and yellow? Anyway I’ll be posting more soon so stayed tuned.
