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?

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have been working on 3 projects lately and have not had time to breath. Here is a look at some of the art from these projects.

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!

CUSTOM APOLLO ACTION FIGURE

Recently I commissioned a friend of mine who makes custom action figures to create one of Apollo from my book GOD COMPLEX. The result was amazing. This has become one of my most prized possessions. As a kid my love for action figures was unparalleled. To have one of my very own characters become a toy is a dream come true. Check out these pics of the figure made by Tom Fury. You can find him on facebook and commission him to do a figure for you!

COMIC BOOK JONES SIGNING

Had a great time over the weekend. The signing at Comic Book Jones was a blast! It was great seeing the entire crew at the store. Thank you to Socko, Tiger, Gore and Waffle for having me! It was not only great seeing industry friends like Stephen Lindsay (Jesus Hates Zombies, Massive Awesome) and Evan Dorkin (Beasts of Burden) but meeting new friends as well like Franco (Tiny Titans) and Chris Giarrusso (G-Man, Mini Marvels)!!! It was also extremely awesome of Chris Giarrusso to sketch APOLLO from my Image comics book GOD COMPLEX for me! I'm a big fan of his art so this was a very cool part of the day.

I also want to thank all the great comics fans and CBJ regulars that came by and saw us! Without all of you, this would all truly be pointless. And thank you to Kevin for sending me this photo of a Punisher sketch I drew for him at the last CBJ signing!
