I’ve posted a few iPhone Wallpapers including Zatanna by Dean Juliette and Supergirl by Cedric Poulat. From an image by Phoenix by David Enciso, I like how the dark colours and flames of sit as the wallpaper.

Elektra – Zatanna – Rogue – Huntress – Marvel DC Women by James Nguyen

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 13:01:21 +0000

It’s been a while since I last caught up with featured artist James Nguyen. He was nice enough to allow me to showcase a couple of his pin-ups of some hot women from both Marvel and DC. I definitely like the Elektra pose best, although Zatanna (in terms of look) is my favourite DC character.

So James . . what have you been up to since the interview?

I’ve continued to attend comic book conventions and continued meeting new and exciting creators on their way to the top. I started doing artwork for a role playing game company and that’s been satisfying to see my artwork in print. I recently finished up a zombie anthology called FUBAR with a bunch of very talented indy creators. It will be offered in the September Preview so please check it out and order one (order code: SEP100743). I’m currently working on a book about a vigilante called Absolution with the frontmen of the band Showbread. Its good to get back to drawing sequential art. Its challenging and rewarding at the same time.

When is Absolution slated for release?

Absolution (although we may have to change the title because of the Avatar Press comic). We’re hoping issues will be available on their website by November/December.

That’s excellent! I’ll be sure to be on the lookout later in the year. Anything else in the pipeline?

I’ve also been mentioned in DJ Coffman’s eBook coming out Septmeber 30th called CASH FOR CARTOONIST.

Thanks again for your time and sending through the pin-ups!

So Di, how long have you been drawing for?

I’ve been drawing comics professionally since 2000.

How would you describe your artwork?

My artistic style is still developing. I still don’t have an own style yet but I am getting closer. It’s a little difficult being self taught but I have received fantastic advice from the great Ed Benes.

Ed Benes is remarkable!
Who else are your inspiration?

Jim Lee, Frank Miller, George Perez, Jose Garcia Lopez, Mike Mignola, Dave Mazzucchely, Silvestri, Capullo, Joe Kubert and many others.

Any published works out there?

For several years I was the regular designer of the lady death, Pandora vs Hellina, Jungle Fantasy, Belladonna and Unholy working with Avatarpress. I’ve also done work Chaos Comics and others.

Wow that’s an amazing list of titles you have worked on. Any special project you are working on at the moment?

I have a character in development – “Call: Aby – Sex and Murder” for the the publisher quadrixeditora. Check out the link for more details.

Thanks for your time!
Can’t wait to see more of your work and good luck with the auctions.

Twilight – Bella Action Figure – WTF

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 02:33:31 +0000

Was doing some shopping over the weekend and I came across the Twilight action figure set. While most of the other characters had cool “special abilities” like super strength or super speed, I think poor Bella got ripped off. I doubt I would class being Accident Prone or Attracts Bad Luck as special abilities.
