Sketch Card Giveaway Contest

Call the neighbors and wake the kids everyone because I have big news! I hope everyone is sitting down because to say that this is earth shattering would be an understatement. Over the next 3 weeks I will be giving away a sketch card drawn, inked and colored by yours truly! That’s right each week you will have a chance to win a sketch card.

Now I’m sure have a ton of questions, like how to enter, where to enter, why would I do this or how I maintain my silky smooth hair. Don’t worry I’ve got you covered. See the contest rules and sordid details below.

Why are you doing this?

Because I love you. I really love you. Its not for shameless promotion like others would have you believe. Its all for love.

How do I enter?

Its really super simple easy. Simply follow me on Twitter and tweet @manji675 I WANT THAT SKETCH CARD! Be sure to both follow me and tweet that phrase.

How is the winner selected?

After one week I will take names of all my followers who entered and randomly select a name from my magic hat of delight. The winner will then receive a direct message from me on Twitter. I will ask for their shipping information and if they are always this lucky.

Anything else I need to know?

That is really it. See I told you it was really super simple easy.   Just be sure to follow me on Twitter because once a winner is randomly selected I will send the winner a direct message to get their shipping information. Oh and if Scarlett Johansson enters the contest will be made void and she will win. End of story.

Also I will be doing this over the next 3 weeks so if you don’t win this time you will still have a couple more chances. Good luck to everyone!

Mommy’s alright, Daddy’s alright, they just seem a little weird

According to my stuffed bunny Stuart, everyone reading my blog knows it’s the most bestest blog ever! It’s a sexy thrill ride, full of life-altering wisdom, intrigue, and motivational tales of success. Now, I must admit that Stuart is very humble. He’s known for his subtle nature and modesty. So it’s safe to say that he is down playing the impact and importance of this blog on all of humanity, now and for generations to come.

Now onto my actual point, yes there is one.

I know that most of you drop in to catch up on my latest endeavors in art and life. I always try and keep it informative, light-hearted and of course sexy. But every now and then I’ll dump some personal stuff here that isn’t all that fun. A perfect example of something that “isn’t all that fun” was the announcement a few days ago that my father may have lung cancer. Well to get to the straight to the point – he does.

Now before everyone starts getting all bent out of shape and emotional there is good news. The doctors feel confident that it’s operable. The cancer was caught early and has not spread and is only in one lung. The prognosis is extremely favorable. I’m both relived and thrilled with the news and to be honest I’m also shocked. I’m shocked because long story short my dad isn’t the most responsible person ever and RARELY goes to the doctor. And by rarely I mean never. It’s some sort of blessing that he happened to get an X-Ray last a couple weeks back, which alerted the doctors that something may be wrong. Regardless of the hows, whats or whys the bottom line is that everything looks like it will work out just fine.

I want to thank everyone for your calls, emails and prayers. It really means a lot. Not as much as… say money or shiny cool things, but still it means a lot. Thank all.

Heroes Con 2009 2 days later

heroes6-12-09

I have a question for you guys. Have you ever been beaten, thrown into the trunk of an old car and left there for 2 days in 100 degree weather before you are able break out and walk 17 miles to safety?

Really? Cool. Because now you know how I feel after the Heroes Comic book Convention. For those of you who didn’t know (for shame) I was there this year doing sketches and shamelessly promoting myself. All in all it was a great con but for some reason it really drained me this year. Maybe it was a bad nacho. Who knows right?

But seeing friends such as Henry Eudy, Nate Lovett, Jeremy Dale, Bill Meiggs made up for it. I was kind of pissed that I missed Loston Wallace because Loston has really helped me develop as an artist plus Loston is a true class act. Unlike the other guys I mentioned. I kid I kid. Loston is just as bad as those guys.

I also was able to hang around with Brian Stelfreeze for quite sometime and pick his brain about color theory and painting techniques. In case you don’t know (again for shame) Stelfreeze is a registered artistic badass and the best damn teacher I have ever seen. So expect to see a lot of traditional work from me in the next few weeks as I begin applying these techniques.

So I guess that about does it for this post. I will think of something more interesting to talk about tomorrow. Oh and if I don’t then I will post some more inane banter like this. Do have a deal? Awesome.

heroes6-12-09

The Heroes Comic Convention is next weekend (June 19-21) and it is shaping up to be a phenomenal convention this year. Two of my favorites Adam Hughes and Frank Cho will be there as well as both Marvel and DC comics. But the biggest news is that….are you ready? Make sure you’re sitting down.

I will be doing commissions and sketches at the Con this year.

I know incredible right? This is like finding out you can shit gold or something. Anyway I will be at SP-02 revealing secrets of the world, doing sketches, and selling prints along with my currently unnamed sketchbook.

Speaking of which if anyone here can come up with a really super awesome name let me know right here right now. If I pick your really super awesome name I will do a sketch for you or something along those lines. Sound good? Of course it does. Just try and have any names in by June 17th. The clock starts now.

In closing if your are going to be at the con I hope you will stop by and say hello, pick up a print, buy me a 1972 ‘cuda or a 22 year old Scarlett Johansson, your choice.

Anyway don’t forget to post some names for my sketchbook. I look forward to hearing what you come up with and hope to see you at the Heroes con.

See you on the other side, whatever that means.
