SEAN ARTIFACT: BONE WELD

These are a gaggle of marker designs dad used to do when I was a wee tike and he was still working at Central Jeep. He called him "Bone Weld". Thought you guys would dig 'em.

And as for the lack of activity on here, I'm getting accustomed to having a very busy schedule and am still working on managing my time. I will try to keep the blog updated with new stuff from myself and pop though as well as keep you all posted on happenings and events.
August 3-4 is Boston ComicCon so expect to see me, mum and our pals at the Sock Talk radio podcast to be there. Prints will be sold, sketches will be drawn and good times had by all.
Same goes for New York ComicCon in October with Cultural Compulsive Disorder.
Also stay tuned for that secret project I mentioned not too long ago.

SEAN ARTIFACT: "...ONLY PARTS OF THE CORPSE..."

Think I missed one of these so I'll put up another artifact later in the day.
Came across this while rummaging through dad's older work. This has always been one of my favorites.

FATHER'S DAY

Unfortunately, I could not put up this post at the correct time because I've been in Maine all weekend and purposefully kept myself away from the internet in order to work on a secret project while the sun burned me to a crisp.

I'd like to wish my father a belated Happy Father's Day.

We miss you, man.

Lots of love from all of us here on this plain of existence.

YOJIMBO

Fun fact: I watched subtitled Kurosawa flicks with my dad and they taught me how to read.

ALTERNATE UNIVERSE MOVIE POSTERS PART TWO

 All posters by Griffin Hartter 2013.

"MEN WILL BECOME DEMONS"

Something I whipped up this morning. Can't waaaaait.

THE WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE

Haven't read this one yet or finished the series for that matter (last I left off, I was halfway through Wizard and Glass) but I felt this was something I needed to do.
Thanks to Dan Lupien for help with getting this one started.

"DANG" BY DAY GLO DELUX

A song pop and I did.
Day Glo Delux 4eva.

SEAN ARTIFACT: COLORED PENCIL WORK

Sorry this week's artifact is a little late.
So, after some rummaging, mum and I found some pictures pop did that my mum colored (except for where noted).

 Mum drew and colored the pumpkin, dad did the roots.

Dad did the colors on this one.

INTO DARKNESS

See this ASAP.

"TIME TO MEET THE DEVIL"

DEAN VENTURE

I'm so happy that The Venture Bros. is back.

MEGAMAN

SKETCHES OF PEOPLE WITH GUNS

JOHN CARPENTER

Here's a few posters I did a few months back when dad and I were going through a John Carpenter phase.

THE WOLVERINE

 So, I'm dying to see The Wolverine now. And here's two sketches from yesterday with color thrown on 'em.

JUST SKETCHES

NICOLAS WINDING REFN'S "THEY CALL HER ONE EYE" (UPDATED)

Dad woulda loved this.
(UPDATE)
I fiddled with the composition and I feel the poster looks better now.

AKIRA KUROSAWA'S "GOLGO13"

I was a bit hesitant in doing an alternate universe movie poster but after seeing how this came out, I have no regrets.

BANK ROBBER

Nothing further to elaborate.

HARTTER/COSTA "JAGUARUNDAI"

The awesomeness of Hartter and Costa strikes again.

GOOD MORNING

A good start for today I believe.

RAIDEN AND RYAN

Alright, I'm shutting down for tonight and thought I'd put up a quick little piece of Metal Gear Rising artwork I just finished touching up and a Drive poster I did a month or two back and really liked.

BIG BOSS

Haven't put up any of my hand-drawn stuff on here until now.
So ta-da.

"TERROR CLAWS SKELETOR" BY HARTTER AND HARTTER

Stumbled across a picture dad and I started and finished it yesterday. Blacklight Skeletor. Why not?

SEAN ARTIFACT DOUBLE FEATURE: CROWHEAD AND LADY CRICKET

So, up top we've got the first and only page to an unfinished Crowhead comic and below it is the cover to a Tokusatsu comic idea pop had.
Enjoy!

YOU CAN (NOT) REDO.

Thought I'd do a poster of the new Evangelion movie coming out (or did it already come out, I don't know).

PACIFIC RIM

Still trying to get back into the hang of working on stuff regularly. This is my first time in Photoshop for a couple of weeks now. I'm pleased with it. How about you?

HARTTER/COSTA "CROOKED MILE"

A song dad and the infinitely-awesome Charlie Costa did back in 2008.
Check it.

SEAN ARTIFACT: THE FORGOTTEN LEVIATHAN

I think I'm gonna try and keep these intros a bit shorter since the art usually speaks for itself. This week, we've got a giant robot comic dad thought would be cool but ultimately didn't have the time for. I helped design the leviathan.

NEW SCANNER AND SEAN ARTIFACT

Right before dad went, he managed to get a new scanner from a friend. I've only just recently hooked it up and started working with it and it's pretty awesome (well, compared to the rattle-box we both worked with since 2003). Here's a scan of a sketch I did a month back.

And now for something for completely different...

Today's Sean Artifact, like the many that have yet to be seen, is one of those small glimpses of what could have been a mind-blowingly awesome project.

Dad met a lot of cool people, that is for sure, but one person who absolutely loved working with dad was the insanely-talented man with a talent for insanity, Ralph Niese, who does the comics Mekano Turbo and 2491 A.D. Ralph was one of many who tried to get dad to regularly draw comics but as was said to me by the big guy himself, he just wasn't a fan of drawing comics, although he loved to read them. He was more of a one picture kinda guy, moving from one idea to the next.
Dad did one story for 2491 A.D., a Crowhead story, but he was always welcome to do another.
Dad began forming the idea for one which he called "Braincase and the Diesel Dinosaurs".

 The idea came to him in 2010 (when "Scott Pilgrim" had just come out on DVD and I was still freaking out about it), during one of our many late-night movie viewings, this one being "Electric Dragon 10,000 V", one of my dad's favorites. Braincase, a tokusatsu hero, lead his punk band "The Diesel Carnivors" on gritty, violent and head-banging adventures through a "Mad Max" type of apocalyptic land where the world has gone back to the wild days while society attempts to rebuild itself.
This was all dad drew of it because he had work up the ass, leaving us only a three-panel peek at Braincase's brain case and his merry band of ruffians.
