Carla's Place for Awesomeness
This was a special edition of the regular webcomic I draw, A Garagem de Kubrick (wonderfully scripted by my friend J.B. Martins), that we did back in December of 2010.
For this edition, we collaborated with our friend Filipe Melo to pay homage to a movie-loving friend who passed away - João Serra, o Senhor do Adeus.
PS - Keep an eye out for Filipe’s awesome comic, The Incredible Adventures of Dog Mendonca and Pizzaboy, now available on Amazon.
Over the past few days I’ve been working on a big commission. I did it for the awesome portuguese production company Individeos, of which my friend João Leitão is a partner. He asked me to draw himself and the other 3 Individeos partners riding dinosaurs on the moon. It was a really fun concept, so I had a blast drawing this. The guys dug it as well, so I’m a happy camper. Since I’m so happy, I’ll share the preliminar sketches, the flats and the final look of this piece. Enjoy!
Last week, the event I was invited to was the Tertúlia de BD - Lisboa. Basically it’s a monthly gathering in Lisbon, where comic fans and authors come together to have dinner, draw and talk. Every month there is a special guest, and this time it was me! I had an awesome time. Met up with friends, got to know new people, got to talk about comics, and best of all, I got to draw!
The main photo here is of a comic jam done Cadavre Exquis style - I started it (it obviously had to have zombies), and then other artists tried to keep it going with a logical sequence. The artists here are, in order:
1. Me
3. FIL
4. João Amaral
I drew this for a special event I’ll be a part of tomorrow night. I’ll post a better version after it!
I noticed that some awesome artists I really admire (Evan “Doc” Shaner, Dean Trippe, Evan Bryce and Mike Maihack) updated their tumblrs/websites recently with a look back at some of the art they produced on 2011. It’s an awesome idea, so here’s a little montage with some of the pieces I did on 2011. Enjoy!
Here are the lines and the final colored version of one of the past pieces I created for the collaborative project Hungry for Lines. Each week there was a different theme, and each of the participant artists drew their interpretation of that theme. I drew this for the theme “Mad Scientist”. Hope you enjoy!
Still don’t have new stuff I can show you guys, so here’s a Kick Ass pic I did back on 2010. Enjoy!
Since I don’t have new stuff I can post right now, and since I bought a new Usagi Yojimbo comic on the weekend, here’s a piece I drew last year for the Covered blog. Enjoy!
You guys might recall the double dose of Attack the Block drawings me and Mike Horowitz gave you a couple of months ago - we both had unfinished sketches and we made a deal that we’d both finish and post our drawings. That was a lot of fun, so we decided to repeat the experience.
This time, Mike suggested we drew something from Tintin. I loved the idea, because I read pretty much all the Tintin comics when I was a kid, and they’re still an important part of my comic references. The Shooting Star was one of my favorite Tintin comics and I thought it’d be cool to recreate a moment from the book. This is the result.
Check out Mike’s Tumblr to see his awesome drawing! Hope you enjoy this new double dose of Carla/Mike drawings, it was a lot of fun.
Like you probably noticed, I had to separate the two Drive drawings because this one kept getting blurry. I worked a few hours on this, so I don’t want to see it blurry, and the only way I found out to keep this looking good was to create a separate text post.
So here’s what I drew last night, and all in all I’m happier with this piece than I was with the previous one. Minus points for not showing the scorpion in the jacket, but oh well. You can’t have it all, I guess.
I hope you like it! Let me know what you think.
