NYCC '11!!!!!

Ok, where to begin, where to begin. NYCC 2011 was out of control. Great, great show, fantastic weekend. Just heard that it drew a crowd of @ 105,000 over the course of 4 days which is tremendous! To say this is my favorite show is putting it lightly. This is my hometown and I enjoy being a part of one of the biggest comic conventions in the world right in the heart of this city. NY is the birthplace of comics so it deserves to have one of the best shows out there. I want to thank every single person that stopped by the booth to get a sketch, a print, a book or just to take a gander at my work and chat. It was great meeting all of you! My newest project, with writer Michael Sarrao, UNMASKED had a huuuge response from fans. They were literally stomping their feet and huffing and puffing when we told them that the book wasn't for sale yet. Don't fret everyone, it will be out early next year! The costumes were, as usual, beyond words and so much fun to behold. And to my fellow artists, old friends and new, it is a great pleasure of mine to be a part of this world with all of you! Enough of the sentimental, on to the visual. Here are some pics of sketches I did as well as a few costumed fans and our table in Artist Alley. ENJOY!

New Unmasked pages

Oh Paige, what have you gotten yourself into now?!

NEW ART!

Hey everyone. Here is a peek at some original art from my latest projects. I currently wrapped up a 6 page mini trailer for my good friend Rob Reilly's grindhouse-esque series A.K.A. The trailer was written, exceptionally well as always, by Mice Templar and Thor: Frst Thunder scribe Bryan JL Glass. Also in this batch are some pages from the 24 page Atomic Robo short I am currently working on (only 4 pages left until that wraps as well) which will be presented in an anthology series by Red 5 Comics. The Robo short is written by the ever hilarious and all kinds of awesome Robo creator Brian Clevinger! Take a look!

Unmasked Film Shoot!

OK, here's the scoop! Unmasked, the 4 issue mini series I recently worked on with writer Michael Sarrao is moving forward in the post production department. Arch Enemy Comics has teamed with Panel Fly and it seems that Unmasked will be released through their app within the next couple of months and will be packed with loads of extras. Interviews with the creative team, character bios, behind the scenes art from yours truly and it looks like a short film! Thats right, Michael Sarrao and a group of talented film makers are putting together a short live action film that will tie into the series. I am drawing a 5 page short story that precedes the events seen in the film and all of it will be available with the mini series through the Panelfly app! Here are some images from the shoot and a few penciled panels from the short story! More to come!

Here I am with (left to right) R.J. Lucci playing 'Max', creator Michael Sarrao, Molly Montgomery as 'Paige', and Khaled Quaaz as 'Sam'.

BALTIMORE COMIC CON!

I just wanted to say what I great time I had at this year's convention in Baltimore. The last few years the only cons I have been able to attend have been in NY and it was great to get back to this con (the last time I was here was 2008). It was great seeing old friends as well as making a ton of new ones and the amount of fans that came over to the table truly blew me away. It was fantastic getting to hear people's opinions of my work as well as spreading the word on my latest projects and seeing the excitement on everyone's faces. As usual I did a slew of sketches and as USUAL I completely forgot to pics of many of them . However here are a few I did take. Here we have Jonah Hex, Charlie from Lost and Jayne from Firefly. Missing from this list is Captain America, Static Shock, Power Girl, Green lantern, Gambit and more. It was a busy weekend and I blew it not taking the pics : (  lolol. My next convention will be NYCC in October and I promise to take more pics of the art I draw as well as the interesting costumes I see! Hope to see you there!

Wondering where I've been?

Jack Kirby's Fourth World! Commission Piece!

Here is a commission piece I did recently for a fan. Jack Kirby's Fourth World characters Orion, High Father and Darkseid. Never had the opportunity to draw these characters before but I had so much fun I'd love to do it again! If you are interested in an original one of a kind commission from me contact me via facebook or email me at jpbroglia@aol.com!

SUPERBOY!

Ok, not sure if you've noticed but the Connor Kent version of Superboy has been everywhere, from an episode of Smallville to a continuing role on the CN's Young Justice and even a brand spanking new comic series. So when I decided to take a little sketch break the other night I couldn't help but take a shot at Superboy. I wanted the drawing, done on 9X12 Vellum, to tell a story, mainly how Connor, a clone of both Superman and Lex is torn between two very different personalities and worlds. (Notice Superman's wearyness and Lex's sinister stare). Check it out!
