ComicsAlliance's Guide to San Diego Comic-Con 2015: Panels To See On Sunday

Janelle Asselin — Sat, 11 Jul 2015 15:00:24 +0000

To help any con-going readers with their convention plans, ComicsAlliance has put together this handy list of panels we recommend. Some are panels we think sound cool and some are panels where you can see CA contributors! You may not be able to experience everything (and probably not everything on this list!), but here's what we think are the best panels to attend on the final day, Sunday, July 12th!

Truck Torrence Makes The Cutest Little Renditions Of 'Drive,' 'Lost' And 'Shaun Of The Dead' [Art]

Lauren Davis — Sun, 26 Jan 2014 14:00:40 +0000

Truck Torrance, a.k.a. 100% Soft, chooses subversive subjects for his absurdly adorable illustrations. Bill Murray becomes a chibi version of himself in his different roles. Wolverine and Kitty Pryde smile on the cover of Days of Future Past. And movie villains from far and wide gather on a single poster, a demented campout of cutesy evil.

Kat Brunnegraff Paints Expressive Pokémon Among The Stars [Art]

Lauren Davis — Sat, 25 Jan 2014 14:00:37 +0000

Kat Brunnegraff is on a mission to paint all 151 original Pokémon. But she puts her own spin on their simple shapes, giving them tiny expressions of self-satisfaction, uncertainty or disdain, and painting them against a retro motif of stars.

Eduardo Peña Paints Moody Scenes of Batman, The Joker And Robots From Space [Art]

Lauren Davis — Sun, 19 Jan 2014 14:00:43 +0000

Many of Eduardo Peña's digital paintings are grand in scale, depicting Earth-shattering demonic forces, cities torn apart by mecha battles, the fearsome sandworms of Dune. But he also captures smaller, tenser moments: Batman and Bane meeting in the murky light, the Joker caught in a rare private thought, a cat watching a robot on a misty morning.

Paulina Ganucheau Draws Magical Girls, Melancholy Monsters And Mario Kart Madness [Art]

Lauren Davis — Sat, 18 Jan 2014 14:00:40 +0000

Paulina Ganucheau is the artist behind the magical girl webcomic Zodiac Starforce, so she's no stranger to drawing butt-kicking ladyfolk. Her portfolio is filled with sci-fi heroines, princesses turned powerful and offbeat mythological creatures that look monstrous at first, but couple probably use a hug.

Nicolas Bannister Pays Tribute to Fictional Vehicles from Back to Front [Art]

Lauren Davis — Sun, 12 Jan 2014 14:00:21 +0000

The Batmobile. Kaneda's Bike. Doctor Brown's DeLorean. Nicolas Bannister recognizes that, even if it doesn't play a starring role in a story, an iconic vehicle can be an important supporting character. In his Banncars poster series, he illustrates those vehicles with their tails facing toward us, ready to drive away at any moment.

Matt Fox Draws Sad Werewolves, Robot Fist Bumps And Cardboard Valkyries [Art]

Lauren Davis — Sat, 11 Jan 2014 14:00:18 +0000

Matt Fox is the artist half of Wet Black Ghost, a comics collaboration with writer Adam Smith that blends the extraordinary and the mundane. Their comics call for gas station phantoms and sci-fi nurses, and Fox's portfolio contains both carefully rendered scenes from the real world and as well as illustrated flights with jetpacks and monsters.

Jeff Langevin Arranges Pop Culture Objects And Draws Art Nouveau Heroines [Art]

Lauren Davis — Sun, 05 Jan 2014 14:00:22 +0000

Jeff Langevin collects objects from video games, books, movies, and TV shows in his weathered posters, evoking nostalgia for all the familiar pieces. In addition to these more design-heavy pieces, Langevin also does figure work, including his romantic portrait of Wonder Woman and Alphonse Mucha-inspired illustrations.

Chow Hon Lam Reveals The Secret Part-Time Jobs Of Superheroes [Art]

Lauren Davis — Sat, 04 Jan 2014 14:00:19 +0000

Crime fighting doesn't necessarily pay, especially in a sluggish economy. So the superheroes in Chow Hon Lam's Part Time Job series have picked up some extra gigs to pay the rent. And he has more visually witty imagery running through his designs.

Jason Fischer Watercolors An Undead Pizza Warrior And Mario Made Of Meat [Art]

Lauren Davis — Sun, 29 Dec 2013 14:00:09 +0000

Food is a persistent obsession in Jason Fischer's watercolor art. Sometimes it takes the form of delicious portraits of hot dogs and hamburgers; in other cases, they're visually playful, as with his paintings of meat Mario and vegetable Luigi. Plus, on the less foodie front, he reimagines the punishment of the titan Prometheus using creatures from the film Prometheus.
