C2E2! This next weekend in Chicago–sketch prices

Just a quick note to say that I’ll be at C2E2 this weekend, April 13-15 2012. I’ll be at Artists’ Alley location D21. My co-conspirator in our #projectsecret–Mark Waid–promises to be there as well. Attend our Friday night panel (7:45 p.m.–8:45 p.m.) where we announce the details and show exclusive artwork (artwork colored by our incredible partner, Nolan Woodard).

I will be doing some sketching. All sketches will be on 9×12 paper–pencil or inks. Prices as follows:

One character–$125
Two characters–$250
Head/bust drawing–$60.

If you want to get on the “pre-convention” list and assure yourself a drawing, you can email me at petergkrause@yahoo.com and reserve a drawing.

On Saturday, April 14, all money I take in for onsite sketching will be donated to the Hero Initiative. The Hero Initiative helps out with comic professionals that are in need. It’s a worthy cause.

See you in Chicago!

Sketch of the Day–Batman/Solomon Grundy

Already posted this on twitter. Taking some suggestions from @divaLea–darkened rock in front. Also, thinned out Grundy’s face a bit.
Drawn on a Cintiq with Photoshop.

I’ve already posted this on twitter, but here it is for the blog.

Sketch of the Day 11/3/11–Wonder Woman!

Here’s a quick drawing of Wonder Woman. I really should draw her more often.

Back at it!

Like so many of us who started blogs, I have let it fall to the wayside. I hope to be back on a semi-regular basis–time allowing.

In the meantime, I’ll post some of the illustrations that I’ve included on my twitter site ( you can follow me at @petergkrause).

Enjoy!

IRREDEEMABLE from BOOM! Studios

I’ve been quiet on the blog for a bit, but now the story can be told.  I’m back doing a regular comic book series for BOOM! Studios.  The book is called IRREDEEMABLE,  and the first issue should be on sale in April.

Mark Waid is writing, and here’s a sample of the art.

On vacation

Just a quick note.  I’m deserting the snow and cold for a few days of recreation in the southwest United States.  I’ll be back on 2/19 with some more drawings.

Take care,

Splash page from Power of Shazam! #39

Hey everyone! Thanks for continuing to peruse the blog.

I apologize for relatively light postings this week, and several trips next week will take me away from the studio. I’m afraid no more postings until 7/31, but until then I hope you will enjoy this splash page from POS #39.

Talk to you soon,

-P.
