I'm back!... And Supergirl is coming along...



Was out for the weekend, but back in time just as my little Supergirl tale is about to be released. Tomorrow to be exact! The DC Infinite Crisis Christmas Special, with ten snazzy pages by yours truly! I could definitely get used to drawing DC's resident bad girl. The story itself was written by Joe Kelley, and colored by the delictable JJ Kirby. What do you guys think? I really dug drawing the little ditty... Be sure to snag your copy tomorrow, and I'll have a full week of posts coming your way!

Sketchbook Diaries take 1...


So here is a little peek into my personal sketchbook. As an artist I almost always have my little Moleskin with me. It's a great distraction for trying out new places and not feeling too out of place. Mainly because I always end up in some place where no one knows me, bars, coffee shops, bookstores, whatever... It's also a great ice breaker and has enabled to meet a lot of really cool people, and along the way some quite lovely ladies, lol! It's funny because most of the time people get really excited to actually see the stuff inside. "You draw like those japanese cartoons!", I hear alot. I find that amusing, I usually will offer to do a likeness of them at that point, just to give them something to take with them.


The above piece I drew while waiting to go on at my local karaoke spot. A jack on the rocks, and a little time to kill. I sat there and realized that like it says on the piece, it was,"time for change". It's so true. And since then I kinda took a new outlook on life. To stop feeling sorry for myself, and to move on. To take life by the horns and pave a new path. The drawing itself was inspired by alot of the cool, carefree people I've met lately. Ladies with tattoos, mrowrrr, lol! Oh and bangs! Ha ha! No but seriously, it was the carefreeness of the crowd that I wanted to capture. The feeling of being able to take off the shackles of the past, and look towards the future, with unlimited hope! The actual drawing maybe took me about twenty minutes. But, in those twenty minutes, and that shot of whiskey, alot of self discovery was made.

Good morning sunshine...



Sitting here in the office, got in early today, got my iced coffee from the Living Room, all is well. No case of the Mondays today, looking forward to a good week. Thanks again to all who came out yesterday. Above is a Ninja Boy doodle I did. Been awhile since I drew that bad boy, felt good. Got a lot of questions as to what I'm up to next. Thought I'd ask what you guys would like to see from me? Which characters, or character? I'll have another post later tonight. You guys all have a good day, now it's to work for me :P

L.A. wunderrrr.....




Made it out to ol Los Angelees today. Ryan Benjamin and I ventured out to hollywood, to attend the Shrine comic book show. Overheard that shows been going for like 30 years? That's pretty kewl. Either way it was a fun day. Got to see some familiar faces, and meet some new ones. Did some sketches. Above is a Zattanna I did for one fan. I get alot of requests for that character, she's a fun one to doodle. Plus any excuse for me to draw bangs is a good time. Just did it mostly with markers. Couple others came out as well, Whilche Portacio, the ever so succulent Dustin Nguyen, Christos N Gage, Adam Archer, and I think Howard Chaykin was up towards the front. Of course this whole shennanigan was coordinated by the blingey Eddie Choi! Eddie, I love you! Aside from that, home now...bored...tired...and need of my buddy jack...word...

Shhh, don't tell anyone...





I've made my Myspace page a little more fan friendly as of late so if you're on there give it a peeksy, www.myspace.com/lexlucrative. Above is a little page from Skye Runner issue 2. I can't get over how much I love the way Rich(friend) inks my stuff. He adds such an unique artistic flari to it, that's pretty much uncomparable. It's not often that you can have an inker who is not only that, but also an amazing artist. Rich has definitly raised his game as of late, plus I love the way he inks hair. It's so scent sexxxy, it drives me wild! Scent sexxy? That's a new one. No but seriously I'm also excited cause I got ol' Richey inking my covers to my new book. Again some sexxy hair done on it. Sweet. As to Skye Runner, I'll be going into it a bit later as the book will be wrapping itself up very soon. Threw some interesting little guest stars in the last issue. Hopefully It's not the end of the series, rather the begining. Hugs, kisses, million dollar wishes...

Basically basic...

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

So I kinda wanted to go back and kinda let you all know how I first became interested in comics. The day my geekdom was born. Not that we're all geeks. Although being a geek is kinda cool nowadays. So yeah, I'm a geek. Sweet. Anyways...it all began waaay back when I was about 4 or 5 years old. My Mom used to make daily runs to the local 7-11, and since leaving kids at the age of 4 or 5 home alone is frowned upon I was always with her. So, I remember one day as I was walking around the aisles, yes I was a very independent young lad, my eyes were caught by a glimpse of magic. Spider-man. I remember begging for it and Mom bein' the swank lady she is happily obliged. Thus an infatuation was born! It wouldn't be till some ten years later that another type of magazine would catch my eye (wink, wink). Comics were instantly engraved on my soul. It was soon thereafter that I decided that growing up and being a tree was no longer for me. Comic book artist. Would I some day be able to create the majesty I so enjoyed? Up till then about the only thing I drew was Snoopy, so Spider-man was a welcome change. So I started a life long quest. A life of doing nothing but drawing (except for ten years later when that other kinda magazine came along, cause well, ya know). I'll come back to this topic in later posts and fill in some of the high points of my geekdom. Above is a updated look i did awhile back of my very first book, WAX. The piece was actually inked by fellow artist JJ Kirby, and colored by the deceptively handsome Cris Walker. It was done for an animation pitch from back when I used to harrass tv networks. Like I said, more tales to come...
