I’ve been a fan of Jeff Wamester’s art since I first laid eyes on it.  We exchanged a few e-mails and I’d picked up a copy of sketchbook, but we’d never met.  You can imagine my surprise to discover that he was going to be a guest at Heroes Con this year.  I was fortunate enough to get on his sketch list and he came up with the very cool take on Deke DaSilva from “Nighthawks”. 

You can see more of Jeff’s work at his site, Deviant Art, WMD: The Saga, and hopefully again here at the SZ!

Mike Torrance is an artist who does it all — he pencils, inks and colors. Mike has been running a regular contest at Retro Cowboy Productions and his Deviant Art site.  Each week he posts a subject and the first one to make request which fits the theme is the winner!  I was one of two lucky winners for “Detective Week.”

Mike is available for commissions and his prices are very reasonable.  Check him out.

This is the second piece of Stallone art that I’ve gotten from Andrew Charipar. You may remember the Cobra piece that he did at FX. A few months later, Andrew was sketching at the Florida SuperCon and so I hit him up for another piece.

Andrew worked up this very cool shot of Deke from “Nighthawks.” Love the design and how Andrew went back in with the colored pencil for highlights. When I picked up the piece Andrew said he already had an idea for his next Stallone drawing, and I can’t wait to see what it is. Until then we have Andrew’s blog and his DA site to hold us over.

I picked up this cool sketch by Ted Naifeh at the last MegaCon.  John Higashi suggested I consider Ted for a Stallone sketch.  Thanks John!  Ted opted to do Deke from “NIghthawks” and did a bang-up job.  You can check out more of Ted’s art at his site.
