jaxomWell, it’s convention season…again. And artist David Jaxon was practically giving away sketch commission to prepare…so Moby got a coupe of old favorites from the Silverwolf roster…Grips and Edge.

I really like David’s style, these should look great with some color. Please keep in mind these are convention sketches, not work for reproduction here, and so the line weights. I am not sure how many of these David was knocking out a day, or how long he took with them, but the idea was to do them quickly.

Normally, I would start with the Grips piece, but this Edge really came out well. Seriously well. If I were hiring, I’d sign him on this piece alone. I LOVE this Edge piece.

andyI asked a few artists recently for commissions of Grips, to get an idea of how different artists would ‘see’ the character and all. One of those Moby commissioned was a personal favorite, Andy Fish.

Andy has a great blog site, Fish Wrap, where he shares his passion for vintage creature movies and vintage Batman along with tips for those looking to make a career in the art world, particularly freelance artists. As a collector, his insights and advice help me to understand those who create all the wonderful stuff the rest of us glance at for a few seconds before we turn the page, to appreciate the art and the artists that little bit more.

Below is the commission Moby received, and it’s a pretty darn good one too! I count three decapitations and at least one severed limb. Just beautiful, eh?

Andy also sent along a few extras including a real nice Batman and even a color Rocket Raccoon. Thanks Andy!

Grips 7 adA treat from Mega-Silverwolf fan Bill C., a decent scan of may have been the cover art intended for Grips Vol.1 #7. Bill sent this one a while ago, and since I was going to post a couple new Grips commissions, I thought I should get around to posting this lost gem.

The first four issues of Grips were published by Silverwolf, and issues 5 & 6 were later published by Greater Mercury in GMC Action #5-#8.

At the top left there is the advert for the issue, which gives us an inkling of where the story was going.

As usual you can click on the image below for a larger version:

Via Facebook, Tim stated this piece was originally a portfolio piece. Indeed, this image is one of the plates included in Grips Portfolio #3.

Still, it is clearly used in the advert for issue #7. 

Be sure to check out Bill C.’s collection posted at Comic Art Fans, including a brand new commission from Mr. Vigil.

Here’s a peek:

Thanks again Bill.
