Just not in place of the Hulk statue. Pay attention, kids– hostage negotiations are all an integral part of the institution of marriage. Take notes, I’m passing along gold here.

On with the sketch!

Not counting yesterday, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted multiple-image Skratchadays, so I thought with all these Free Comic Book Day images on hand, why not?!

A little bit of everything here, from mutants to busty kittens to women torn between a ninja and Nick Fury’s son. Digest those little trivia pieces for a sec.

Okay, yeah– hope you dig them! The owners seemed to. Hard to tell when the sun is screaming down at you, y’know? hehehe

Hey, guys– FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2011 was a smashing success. Perhaps you saw this photo on BleedingCool?

Acme Comics in Greensboro, NC

Yeah– I took that photo. I was dropping off Jermaine Exum, who runs ACME COMICS, after seeing THOR earlier that night– when we saw guys camping out for the Free Comic Book Day even the next day! Spectacular!

In fact, BLEEDINGCOOL.COM picked up the story: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/05/07/camping-out-overnight-for-free-comic-book-day/

And the local news reported live from the event as well! Check it out at:   ACME COMICS\’ FCBD 2011 Channel 2 News recap

Baroness from COBRA for Free Comic Book Day! Playing a flute, no less. Bizarre, I know– but that was the request, and I was more than happy to work on that for the lady in question. She even provided reference! Bravo. Well played.

Enjoy! Click to embiggen.

On with the sketch!

Looks a little tighter a sketch than usual? That’s because this is a FREE SKETCH won by a blog commenter recently right here on the Skratchaday blog. They requested DUKE from G.I. Joe in his jetpack from the 1980s animated motion picture’s opening sequence… which is, by the way, one of my favorite animated scenes of anything ever. It still gets me excited. How cool was that opening 2 minutes? It was SPECTACULAR– and it really made me a lifelong Joe fan as a kid.

Above and beyond posting the KELLYDAYS sketch blog posts to give me a break from the crazy schedule, Kelly also inks for me from time to time, and sells her inks at shows. Using any tool she can get her hands on from brush to Micron to brush pen to Copic Special Black and back again, Kelly inks furiously over blueline printouts on bristol, and isn’t bad at all! I’m proud of her– she’s come a long, long way in just a couple years inking.

Here are a couple of her more recent pieces– scroll down to my C2E2 SKETCHES post to see more!

By the way: She doesn’t know I planned this blog post. So comment it up and let her know what ya think! Shhh, it’s a SURPRISE.
Enjoy! Click to embiggen.
