Finally!!!!!

This beautiful brick (888 pages) found its way to my home the 9th volume of Steven Erikson's Malazan books of the fallen.
After realizing that the Canadian release date was going to be the same as the U.S i ddecided to order it from amazon.uk.
No way am i going to wait until January to read this.....

On the Letherii continent the exiled Malazan army commanded by Adjunct Tavore begins its march into the eastern Wastelands, to fight for an unknown cause against an enemy it has never seen. The fate awaiting the Bonehunters is one no soldier can prepare for, and one no mortal soul can withstand - the foe is uncertainty and the only weapon worth wielding is stubborn courage. In war everyone loses, and this brutal truth can be found in the eyes of every soldier in every world. Destinies are never simple. Truths are neither clear nor sharp. "The Tales of the Malazan Book of the Fallen" are drawing to a close in a distant place, beneath indifferent skies, as the last great army of the Malazan Empire seeks a final battle in the name of redemption. Final questions remain to be answered: can one's deeds be heroic when no one is there to see it? Can that which is unwitnessed forever change the world? The answers await the Bonehunters, beyond the Wastelands.

Home again

From Toronto with a crapload of art here's a little teaser i'll put some up in this blog but since there are 39 new pieces they will all be on my comicartfans page and my facebook album.

This beauty is from Alex Maleev who worked on Daredevil , new avengers and now on the Spiderwoman motion comic and soon to be released regular edition comic.
Needless to say that this painting blew me away thanks Alex for this fantastic painting.

Widow #50

Got this beauty in the mail today (well technically yesterday but i picked it up today)
This is my fiftieth piece of art featuring the Black Widow (click on title to go to a page about her)

She's been a favorite character of mine ever since i first saw her in those old issues of Daredevil i always dreamt of having some art featuring her (this was before the internet yes i am that old)

Comic book conventions were rare in Montreal in those days and frankly i really didn't know how to go around to contacting artists to get commissions.
That changed about when ebay and internet shopping started up but i still wasn't getting a lot of stuff i was watching and enjoying art a lot but rarely buying.
To make a long story short i decided two years ago to start collecting art more seriously and to give in to my passion and to the stuff that makes me happy and this latest version of my favorite character makes me very happy indeed.

Now who shall i get to draw #100?
