I had a blast doing this the other night. I havent been inking too much lately, its nice to get back to it.
My most recent studio gig is wrapping up on Fri, a show called ugly americans. Look for it on Cartoon network on fridays after southpark starting March. I'm excited for everyone to get a chance to see, but I'm more excited to have time and drive to draw again. |

| FATO, tribute to Majewski! |
[Oct. 26th, 2009|10:07 pm] |
This is a piece I did for the forthcoming "IAMWIZARD" zine. It was initially being put together my friend Michal Majewski, who passed away this summer. The zine is still being put together as a tribute to him. I was having a hard time thinking what to put into the zine, then at a tribute concert for Mike, Leigh, the drummer in FATO showed up with a shirt that I drew for fato in 2000. This is a sequal of sorts to that shirt. Jewski is the one slapping the bass at the front.
You can check out FATO's music here, http://www.myspace.com/fato
and definitly check out Mike's Posters here, http://www.gigposters.com/designer/43571_Michal_Majewski.html
he was a great friend, artist and musician and is definitly missed. |

| Scary Go Round |
[Sep. 13th, 2009|12:44 pm] |
Scary Go Round ended on Friday. It was one of my very fav webcomics. http://www.scarygoround.com/
I couldnt resist to use that as a excuse to do a pinup of the main cast. Then I water colored it... I aspire to be a good watercolor painter. So I'll prolly continue to force these on you all, haha.
Anyways, I will be at SPX the last weekend of this month. http://www.spxpo.com/
If youre there stop by to say hi. Julie of Promises Promises http://www.promisescomic.com/ will be there by my side. We're at table W50. Right in a corner, theres only four of em, so everytime you hit a corner you got a good chance of seeing my smiling face.
Hope to see you there! |

| FanExpo 09 |
[Sep. 1st, 2009|11:57 am] |
So Fan expo has come and gone! It was a fun convention. I sold a lot of books and made a boat load of sketches for the kids. It was super packed on the saturday, they stopped selling tickets at one point I was told. So I guess that means Fanexpo aint going anywhere. Jim and Jenn was shown off, to pretty good review. I'm very excited to get it out there in the world. The dummy copies I had looked good, but once its really put together it should be really kicking ass.
Special thanks to Zub for his awesome party on the friday night. My table pardna Julie, seen in this pic. You were excellent! To all the wicked people I met as well.
Heres a couple of the free sketches I did at the show.
this kid flash was part of an amazing sketchbook filled with excellent sketches. I was happy to get in on that.
I was wearing my sex bob omb shirt on the saturday, that lead to this sketch along with one other SP sketch, here..
theres more photos at my flickr, here.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/33194886@N08/
So thats fanexpo for another year. Now onward to SPX. Cant wait for that show. Planning on raising my game, table design wise for that show. If your out and about in that area make sure to swing by, love to see you. Heres the link http://www.spxpo.com/ |

[Jun. 5th, 2009|11:02 am] |
So this is a 6 page story that I did along with Aaron Broverman for the forth coming Black Bastard anthology by Rorcharch press. This was a lot of fun and a nice break from Jim and Jenn. I hope you all like it, be sure to pick it up. Im pretty sure Matthew Mohammed wants these printed up for San Diego, so keep a look out for em! |

| Wolverine agian. |
[Jun. 1st, 2009|03:51 pm] |
I just keep drawing this Wolverine fella! Despite a terrible movie! I heard Chris Clairmont is doing a mini series thats going to tell the story of the next 75 issues of xmen he had planned to do before Jim Lee and he got in their tiff which lead to him leaving the book. My inner 12 year old is soo excited. X Men comics based on that time when they still made sense and I knew who everyone was!! YES! |

| TCAF!! |
[May. 15th, 2009|11:06 am] |
so TCAF has come and gone. What an event. I was super busy the whole weekend so I got to see very little, but what I did see was fantastic. The crowds were enthusiastic and people were opening thier wallets, which was nice to see. I met some very talented folk who I shared table space with and I drew many pictures for lots of eager enthusiasts.
On a personal note, Noway Jose was a very popular item. I very almost sold out of my first run of those. So I will be doing a new printing for upcoming conventions. The animators in comics panel I was on was a boat load of fun. There was so many faces writing down everything myself and my panel mates were saying! Inspiring!
I had a short list of people I really wanted to meet. As I was saying though the crowds were insane. I wasnt able to get away from my table!! I did at the very end of sunday, briefly met Becky Cloonan and then on the way out bumped into our visitors from across the pond Marc Ellerby and his delightful lady friend. All very nice people!
I would like to thank Chris Butcher for putting a great show along with the rest of the Beguiling staff and the volenteers who were always on hand to help. If I met you, or if you bought anything, thanks so much to you as well! What a pleasure! Cant wait for TCAF '11! |

| Noway Jose HD Remix cover image and sample. |
[May. 7th, 2009|01:39 am] |
Here is the cover image to Noway Jose HD Remix. This image rocking you in the face at 80 mph pretty much tells you all you need to know about this guy. He rides with the Raptors and gets chased around by Trex's. This is because he runs the show. I hopes you likes. This should have color on it as long as I dont blow the coloring..in which case it will stay B&W.
The sweet back cover and front cover though isnt all you get in the new Noway Jose HD remix. You also get reinked interiors. Since October when I initially did this bad boy I've learned a trick or two. Heres an example of the changes your going to be seeing inside the book. If you wanna see more your going to have to come to TCAF and buy the mini. HAZAH!
More news! The Toronto Comics Arts Festival is this weekend! I want you to come and visit me. Heres all the info you need. http://www.torontocomics.com/tcaf/
Even more news! In the build up to TCAF, I had a Q&A run in the Globe and Mail! Learn more about me here.. http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/afterword/archive/tags/Brian+Evinou/default.aspx
Also, somehow someone thought it would be a good idea to give me a forum to speak my mind with more respected and talented artists than myself! If you want to see me heave and bluster come by and watch the Animators in comics panel on Sunday at 2.30 to 3 in Learning room 1 @ TCAF! Faith Erin Hicks is on the panel with me!! Heres a full list of the events... http://comics212.net/2009/05/06/tcaf-programming-schedule/#more-2606
Hopefully I will get one more post on here before the big event. But if not please do come by! I will be doing free sketches all weekend, I'll have Jim and Jenn pages on me to show off! Noway Jose minis and Lucy Legacy books and stickers to pawn off. I know theres more shows in the summer. But from the bottom of my heart this is my fav show. You dont want to miss it. |

| Noway Jose back cover image. |
[Apr. 20th, 2009|01:50 am] |
This drawing was a blast. THe idea of the drawing is that you learn a lot about Jose just from this pic. Like now we know he has hung out with robots in the past, encountered the Empire. Its all there. I love world builder pics. For a comic thin on dialouge like Noway, I hope it adds some layers and richness to his story
This drawing will be the back cover for the mini, it will prolly stay in b&w, maybe tonals. I will have the cover for you sometime before the big event!
Hopes you all likes, remember TCAF is just around the corner, be there! http://www.torontocomics.com/tcaf/index.html |

| Destroyer!! |
[Apr. 14th, 2009|07:46 pm] |
I went into the comic shop and bought my first marvel title in months. It was Destroyer, by Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker. The premise of the book is that Destroyer's career has been on going since the forties and we're seeing him at the end of his days and how he wraps it all up. Its exciting for me to get Kirkman and Walker together again, the original team on my fav superhero book Invincible. More than that though the book is a super violent hoot, and beautifully executed. Even with the brain matter splattering the page every where it still retains the fun feel that Kirkman and Walker first showed us with Invincible, I recomend it!
here is a 7 page preview http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=2307&disp=table
I went a lil over board with the ink splotches but it felt a lil bare before so what can you do!
Draw pictures everyday kids! |

| Wolverine Appreciation month. |
[Apr. 11th, 2009|12:41 pm] |
So as I've mentioned on here before, The uncanney X-Men was my comic growing up. I started during the Fall of the Mutants, round issue 220. My favorite X-man like every other snot nosed kid was the Old Canucklehead, Wolverine, Logan, Weapon mutha F#$king X.
Anyways, when working on Jim and Jenn, I always start the day with little warmup doodles. These are some of the fruit of those early morning labors. I tell ya, that sewer one was not turning out. Theres a whole lower body under that water that looks like ass. Hence the sewer! Spooky setting for Wolverine? NO! Convienent way to cover up short comings in art! YES!
Time for bad news. I failed at Jim and Jenn. Its going to be done for TCAF, sadly it wont be printed. Financial coupled with scheduling problems have led me to push it back. Fear not though. I will be having a release party for when I have it printed early summer and it will definitly be available at The Hobbystar con in August SPX in Sept and Excellent comic stores around Toronto. I'm Sorry to have to report this, no one is more disapointed than me. The bright side though is that Im now planning on having tonals in the book and I will get to rejig the begining a bit to jazz up the book even more. For the TCAF attendees, I will have a very special small print run of Noway Jose available with an exciting amazing cover. So hopefully that will help you forgive me untill Jim and Jenn's explosive release! Sexy..
Hope you all like these drawings! |

| John Locke |
[Mar. 8th, 2009|04:59 pm] |
So this is one of my favorite characters from Lost, the popular television program, you might of heard of it. John Locke!!! I dont know what took me so long to get on board with this show. It is pretty rad. Im going to watch the finale of season 2 tonight and I cant wait. I'll definitly be up to date in time for the last season. Can it fill the hole BSG is going to leave in my heart in two weeks? We'll find out.
Also, I saw Watchmen yesterday afternoon. My capsule review, pretty good. Its definitly a much better translation than I thought possible. Theres a lot of layers of the book missing and the sense of parody and reconstruction of the comics genre. But the crux of the story is there. It was fun to see a lot of the big moments on the big screen. So cup slightly over half full. Im very relieved its not terrible though. I was expecting 300 the sequal. |
