26 year old Gary Badwin from Valley of Wales, United Kingdom is sharing some of his artwork. This showcased is based on the Zombie versions of 2 famous X-Men, Beast and Nightcrawler. Although it’s a little gruesome, it’s still some very cool artwork.

When did you get into the artistic field?

I took a keen intrest in art from about the age of 4, I took part in my first competitions at 5, coming first in all of Gwent, South wales. did art G.C.S.E in comperhensive school getting a C grade, didn’t like art class in school, I was into comicbook art and horror, the school wanted you to do drawings of vase’s and flowers,etc. After school I was still drawing more of a hobbie, doing it in the evenings and weekends. So I’d say I’m self-taught.

Is there any styles which have influenced you?

I would have to say I am heavily influenced by Steven E.Gordon creator of X-men Evolution, and Jeff Matsuda chief character designer for both Jackie Chan Adventures and The Batman, I love how there art work is clean and simple not over worked! I draw for fun and my son Lewis (7 years old) to colour in.

Is Lewis your only son?

I have two sons, Lewis as mentioned and Oscar who’s 18 months.

You must be swamped with two boys to look after so thanks for your time to answer some of my questions!

A mixed bag of a post with a new drawing by featured artist Mike Crichlow. I think it’s a very cool piece, especially love the expression on her face!

I haven’t been posting up as much as I would have liked with a lot of my time taken up with the Australian Open. The finals are over with an incredible match between Andy Murray and Roger Federer with Fedex taking it out in 3 exciting sets!

On a website related news, Sigmatestudio was hit with over 600+ spam comments today which was extremely frustrating! I moderate all comments and expect the odd spam comment but never this many! I never got around to activate the askimet plugin (anti-spam) but as soon as I cleared out the junk comments, it was activated! Hopefully it won’t catch any legitamate comments but please email me at sigmatestudio [at] sigmatestudio.com if you comment doesn’t appear after a couple of days.

More amazing work from featured artist Alain Norte. Some sketch cards of the ever popular and sexy Megan Fox (Transformers). This isn’t the first time Megan has appeared on this site, Frank Kadar did his version too. Would be interested to see your comments on which one you preferred.

After dodging the clutches of Gogo, I was fortunate enough to meet superstar artist Tim Sale. Tim’s most recognised works are of Isaac Mendez’s paintings in the TV Series Heroes. Managed to get a couple of graphic novels signed including Batman – Dark Victory, Batman – Long Hallowen and Heroes Vol 1 & 2. He was very pleasant the whole time and even did a couple of sketches for me. Check out tomorrow’s post to see how the sketches turned out.
