Okay Chaps and Chapettes!
Time for a Heavy Metal competition only for DeviantART.
For those of you who check in here regularly you may know I'm in the middle of putting together a special issue of HEAVY METAL that will go on sale at San Diego Comic-con. This will be the second year in a row I've put that particular issue together, last year with Stanley Lau Artgerm and the whole Imaginary Friends Studio team of creators. imaginaryfs.deviantart.com/
This year with many more DA's like Dave Wilkins dave-wilkins.deviantart.com/ Tom Raney tomraney.deviantart.com/ Sami Basri sami-b.deviantart.com/ Barnaby Bagus takrezz.deviantart.com/ Jessica Kholinne faysea.deviantart.com/ Dave Dorman davedorman.deviantart.com/ Toby Cypress tcypress.deviantart.com/ Garrie Gastonny thegerjoos.deviantart.com/ Sakti Yuwono saktiisback.deviantart.com/ and we'll have three different covers.
Cover 1 by Kendrick Lim of Imaginary Friends Studios kunkka.deviantart.com/
Cover 2 by Sami Basri and Jessica Kholinne
And cover 3 will be a surprise collaboration between Artgerm and Jim Steranko!
BUT!!!
That leaves us with a problem... We have 3 FRONT covers to these three editions but we need 3 BACK covers.
Know anyone that could help?
Yeah, I'm looking at you!
We need three pieces of artwork from three different artists one for each of the three different editions that are going to press at the end of May.
This is a real chance to show off those mad skills you got. For those of you familiar with Heavy Metal you should have a good idea of what would go down well with that audience. For those that don't, it's monsters with babes, robots with babes, babes with babes, good babes, bad babes, get the idea? Open to see cosplay photography as well as artwork submissions.
Unfortunately Heavy Metal magazine is an adult/mature readers magazine so I will have to limit contributions to those of you over the age of 18. Don't worry I have a competition for everyone coming soon.
The printed size of the magazine is 8 inches by 11. The winning files will need to have an extra quarter inch all around and be at least 300 DPI (450 DPI would be preferable). Winners get 50 copies each of the magazine with their artwork on to give (or sell) to family and friends. The magazine will be heavily promoted and sold at San Diego Comic-con.
The artwork will remain your copyright and we'll also have your DA url on it so people can find you.
I know it's short notice but I need to see the artwork by May 18th and then the winners will be chosen by Artgerm artgerm.deviantart.com/ , Kevin Eastman kevineastman.deviantart.com/ and myself then announced May 25th.
This competition is only open to artists on DeviantART and links to entries must be posted in the comment thread below, no emails, no private notes, all here baby!
This will be a blast!

Saving The Comics Industry
Over the last few years, I have stood by and frustratingly watched as the comic book industry continues to devour itself like the mythical Ouroboros, the snake that ate its own tail. Readership of comics continues to decline, comics that once sold hundreds of thousands of copies struggle to break six figures. A successful independent could be 5000 sales. Sales go down, prices go up. Large companies double down on their popular characters, diluting their entertainment value even more.
While I have primarily always worked for independent companies, I have worked as a freelancer at the larger companies too, both as a creator and packager. I've
BERNATHON 2: Feeling The BERN
The BERNATHON 2 was a stunning success!
Many, many thanks to Bill Sienkiewicz, Jason Shawn Alexander and Jim Mahfood for coming along to be part of this super rare experience. Yuge thanks as well to the awesomely talented Hal Hefner who unveiled his latest masterpiece in the store.
It was wonderful and very appropriate to see the passion for Senator Bernie Sanders take form in a glorious collaborative piece of art.
For those who missed the live stream from Meltdown Comics, here is a selection of pictures I took from the evening. If you live in Los Angeles I strongly urge you to head down and check out the art while it is still on the wall
Watching Artists - Bill Sienkiewicz
On Friday, February 5th, at the Meltdown Comic book store in Los Angeles, you can watch Bill Sienkiewicz live in store paint a portrait of Democratic Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
The event, starting at 5pm PST, will be streamed live at XSN.com and will go on until 10pm.
The purpose is to not only raise awareness for senator Sanders but it is also a test run of a series of painting events that I have been discussing with Bill Sienkiewicz, so count this as a test run.
Over the last few weeks, Bill has been producing a series of pieces centered around progressive individuals like Elizabeth Warren and rapper Killer Mike.

Everything Stops For Tea - First Draft
Everyone has their little routines for arranging and breaking up their days. The most interesting ones are those that give you a break from deadlines, when things are coming at you ten times every hour and you need to recalibrate a little just to breathe. There must be a moment to reorganize and process information.
For some, that’s Tea Time.
“Tea Time” has been part of my routine since I was a child. As soon as I came home from school, my mother would stop what she was doing and she would make me a cup of tea. This was usually consumed with several biscuits (cookies) while I debriefed my mom on my day. Afterwards I would
