One Sharpie to Rule the Comic/Animated World

If you're Jim Lee, Frank Quietly, Ivan Reis, David Finch, Robert Kirkman, Alex Ross, Doug Mahnke, Tony Daniels, I could go on and on, what's better than drawing and sketching with a Sharpie?  Drawing and Sketching with a Stainless Steel Sharpie.

This fine-tipped permanent marker features a stainless steel barrel with a laser-etched Sharpie logo, a replaceable ink cartridge, and a matching cap.

Next time you are at a Con or some place where you're fortunate enough to see one of your favorite illustrators or cartoonist, I bet they will be using this classy little beauty.

Like Gollum, if you can't live without this pen, that looks like it may have been born from the fires of of Mt. Dooms, head over to the Sharpie site: Stainless Steel Sharpie ($8) and buy your precious.

Batman Pictured as a Violent, Vengeful Sociopath = Great Art

Tom Fowler, a Canadian comic artist has published work includes Mad's "Monroe", Mysterius: The Unfathomable, Revolution on the Planet of the Apes, Green Arrow, Grendel, Star Wars: Jango Fett and Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight.

Gfest was viewing his blog to see the beautiful pieces of art he will have on display for purchase at Heroescon when we stumbled across this gorgeous picture of batman.  Fortunately, this piece is for sale by contacting Tom at his blog. 

Tom had this to stay about the batman picture:

"batman's a character i've always had a lot of trouble with. i tried about three other drawings before chucking them in favor of the only way batman ever seems to make sense to me: a violent, vengeful sociopath."

Gfest cannot believe he has ever had a problem drawing Batman after viewing this wonderful picture.  We'll take the throwaways, Tom and proudly display them.
