Ain't It Cool News Reviews the So Super Duper Complete Collection

Ain't It Cool News, arguably the biggest pop culture site on the internet, has reviewed the So Super Duper Complete Collection! There's a wonderfully funny interview with So Super Duper creator, writer and artist, Brian Andersen, himself, and the review follows. What is especially thrilling for me, is that out of all the back-up stories that were chosen to be included in the collection, mine was specifically mentioned!

"It must be said, “Pride Goeth” by Kevenn T. Smith and Ray Caspio has got me thinking that Smith would be a perfect fit for an ongoing series. His perfectly pulpy pencils are a nice fit for such a fun story--just sayin’."

The So Super Duper Complete Collection is a delightful read, and you can go here to buy either a print version (which utilizes a high quality paper, so the print version is gorgeously produced) or a digital pdf file of the collection.

WonderCon 2011 Wrap-Up

I had an amazing time at WonderCon!  I got to meet so many people who were more than nice and see some great talent there.  I'd say it was an absolute success.  Thanks to all who came by the booth and supported us.  I made 3 artcards right before WonderCon, and one of them sold, and I wanted to spotlight them here.  First up is Psyche from Brian Andersen's So Super Duper.  This image is now available as cards, prints and Posters at RedBubble.com!

Speaking of So Super Duper, I had the opportunity to go by Whatever Comics in the Castro, and issue #11 of So Super Duper with my 10 page back-up story was on display in the front window!  You can't miss the hot pink cover:

Issue #11 of Brian Andersen’s So Super Duper is on sale at the shop at Prism Comics.com and Indy Planet.com!!!  The 10 page back-up story that I wrote and created the artwork for is lettered by Ray Caspio (who also has a pin-up illustration in this issue!).  Just click on the preview thumbnail images below to enlarge them.

Another artcard I did was of DC Comic's Batwoman.  For this artcard, I wanted to capture some of the "feel" of J.H. Williams III's art in the Batwoman stories that he illustrates.  This image is now available as prints. Please use the "Contact Me" form at the top-left of this page to request one and inquire further about pricing and sizes.

The third card that I made before WonderCon was of one of my favorites, She-Ra. I also couldn't resist the chance to illustrate the Whispering Woods backgrounds from the She-Ra cartoon again.

So Super Duper Issue #10 Pin-Up by Kevenn T. Smith

I am really excited about my pin-up piece that I did for Brian Andersen's comic book, So Super Duper, issue #10!  When I was asked to contribute a pin-up for the So Super Duper comic book, I was beyond thrilled.  Going into it, I wanted to make sure it was something that celebrated a milestone like the tenth issue.  For an indie comic, it's a big deal!  I ended up drawing nearly every character that had appeared in the comic's previous nine issues(some who are not even named).  I think I missed one and a half.  There was literally one unnamed character who only appeared half-way on one panel.  I wasn't going to cry over not being able to fit her in.

You can go here and read a free eight page preview of the issue that includes my pin-up.  And while you're there, feel free to order the issue.  It's only $4.00!  It's the cheapest way to own a piece of my art, and you get to support indie artists!  Plus, it's such a fun, cute comic book filled with action, humor, and heart.  How can you resist?  The original piece, complete with trim art, can also be viewed in the lobby of The Beck Center for the Arts in Lakewood, Ohio (along with a pin-up piece I did for Kevin Conn's Lava-Roid comic book - but that is another post!) until July 30th, 2010!

From Left to right, starting at the bottom, we have: Mr. Keen, Sass, Feminazi (Don't know if that's actually her name), Bad Kitty, Giant Poop Monster, Bad Tink, Dr. Wicked, The Twins, Skip.  The next row is:  Fly-Girl, Crazy Curl, Unnamed Superheroine in Yellow and Black, Unnamed Superheroine in Blue and White with Pink Hair.  Row Three:  Fly-Girl's Unnamed Sister, Halo, Psyche, Comet, Briar.  Top Row:  Unnamed Pink-Winged Hunky Hero in Violet and White, Star, Hothead, Tink, Captain Idol, Ultra Woman.  All characters ©Brian Andersen 2010.
