From the Sketchbook ... Page 10
Sharing the work of Michael Bracco
March 18th - If you've ever attended a comic convention, you know that many artists do quick sketches for fans. They can be a bit of a holy grail item as they are often very personal representations of the art. A couple months back, I wondered why I should be the only person who gets to enjoy the great work stored in my sketchbook? With that thought in mind, I decided, from time to time, to scan and share some of the sketchs I've collected over the years. It's my way of honoring the artistry and creativity of those who've took the time to draw in my book or share a sketch.
Page 10 in this series goes to Michael Bracco who asked me to pick an animal while attending the Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo (aka S.P.A.C.E.). I choose a squirrel and Michael took that request and crafted the amazing animal depicted below. Michael is the first artist to be featured twice in our Sketchbook series. You can check out his previous entry (Page 3) here.
First we share a photo of Michael doing a sketch (just before starting mine) then the sketch itself. We offer our thanks to him for this great artwork!
