I had fun doing these designs for Wild Card Brewery over in the UK. They worked with the London Roller Derby to create 3 beers, each featuring a member and their respective role on the team.

If you are in the UK you can check them out wherever their beers are sold. You can also join us for a live tasting party on Instagram Live.

Happy New Year! (& Print sale)

noreply@blogger.com (V Fish) — Sat, 02 Jan 2021 21:03:00 +0000

Wow, it's been quite a while since I've updated.

Maybe that's the way of the blog now, the slow death caused by insta-blogging and tweeting. Although I hear those things are on their way out, too. Will blog comes back into style like vinyl? I wonder.

Having a big print sale over at my BIG CARTEL store to celebrate 2021.

Hope you'll check it out and find something you like. I have limited edition, signed, black-light giclees and some random original art pieces.

Anything from Big Cartel ships directly from my studio, so it's signed, remarqued and numbered by me.

Anything from Inprnt is drop-shipped, so they are unsigned, but if you'd like to see more options for pieces, check that out here: more prints via INPRNT

Here's hoping 2021 is a good one for you - I sincerely mean that.

Hey friends,

A while ago I was commissioned by a print group to create a poster based on the cult film "Heathers".

The quality of the screen print is just outstanding - the ink color is so perfect - honestly even better in person than photographed.

The original group has closed it's print orders, but I am putting 11 of the 12 Artist Prints up for sale.

Here are some photos so you can get an idea of the colors (PLEASE FORGIVE MY OLD CAMERA!)

Each poster is $125, signed, 24x36", archival inks on heavy bright white paper. Shipped rolled, with tracking #.

Joe's Albums

noreply@blogger.com (V Fish) — Fri, 10 May 2019 21:43:00 +0000

I was recently commissioned to do some fun shirt designs for Joe's Albums in Worcester, MA. We shop there often so it was a pleasure.

Thanks Tim & Joe!

Joe specifically wanted a 50s / retro feel for both of these, so I looked at a lot of vintage 45s and Saul Bass graphic design for inspiration.

The initial sketches

There is also a female design but I'll save that for when Joe's business has officially shared it.

If you'd like to order one, you can visit their Facebook page to call, I can't find it online just yet.

cover for Gideon Falls

noreply@blogger.com (V Fish) — Mon, 06 May 2019 18:43:00 +0000

I was very fortunate to be asked to create a cover for the Image comic Gideon Falls written by Jeff Lemire (who is excellent) and drawn by Andrea Sorrentino (who is also extremely excellent).

They kindly sent me the latest issues to read and, once again - I am blown away by the writing and the art. This is honestly the best comic I've read in a long time and can't wait to read what happens next! They were picked up for TV development and we sincerely hope they do right by it.

The cover is drawn in ink and colored digitally, if anyone is interested in the original art, you can contact my husband Andy, who handles art sales: andy at andytfish dot com

SABRINA The Teenage Witch #1 : EASTER EGGS

noreply@blogger.com (V Fish) — Fri, 19 Apr 2019 14:37:00 +0000

Hello!

I have given up all social media for Lent, and amazingly -

am actually doing it!

So if you've been following me, noticed the radio silence and possibly expressed some concern that I might have died - don't worry, it's all good over here.

Sabrina the Teen-Age Witch #1 dropped a couple weeks ago, and #2 is being sent to the printer right now, so I thought I'd share as many Easter Eggs (as I can remember) since the season is conveniently appropriate.

1. SABRINA'S HOUSE: is a real house in Greendale, MA

2. SABRINA'S HIGH SCHOOL: is actually the Greendale Mall in Worcester, MA

3. SABRINA'S CLASSMATES: are all real kids we know

4. SABRINA'S VICE PRINCIPAL: is our pastor and friend Father Charles. (Andy also made that funny poster)

5. SABRINA'S ROOM

I imagined what a cool attic room would be like based on the interesting lattice window.

The record on the floor; "The Talbott Brothers of Bermuda" was playing on our record player when I drew the page. (Andy bought it - what a gem)

Ok, that's it for now, next up: SABRINA'S CLOSET.

New West Coast Avengers short holiday story art

noreply@blogger.com (V Fish) — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 16:52:00 +0000

This past Christmas season I illustrated a short 9 page story written by Jason Latour for a Deadpool Holiday special, published by Marvel a little while ago.

It was a very tight deadline, I had about 11 days to draw, ink and color 9 pages, but I was happy with the final result.

However...

I got my comp copies today and realized that many pages printed were not the final versions!

Yikes!

So I thought I'd share what they looked like to me:

(Easter Eggs: Kevin is a friend of ours and the family in front are our neighbors)

This one above gets me the most, the version printed did NOT have the Santa map on the TV!! Argh! The reader thinks he's not pointing at anything!

This one above also was hard to look at,

1. the version printed had Kate flipped in the first panel, as if she flips her quiver panel to panel.

2. Quentin's shirt has the lyrics to "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" page to page, and the version printed doesn't show that joke.

3. The background of the food court is much more finished here than in the printed one.

Ah well, maybe it was my fault, maybe I didn't label the files correctly when I sent them in. I dunno. Anyway, this was: to whom it may concern.

Happy 2019!

Blackwood #2 out today

noreply@blogger.com (V Fish) — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 16:24:00 +0000

Blackwood #2 is on the stands today; in it you'll find my favorite two-headed, reanimated animal sidekick Chimp Ho Tep, a reference to Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein, the Women of the Well and lots of other cool stuff. The school on the grave etching is taken from a real abandoned elementary school, which at the moment is being turned into condos. I bet there are some ghosts still walking around in there.

Here is what the art for #2 looks like on paper, which was done on old Archie stock I had laying around. Below that is the back cover to #2 which holds a peek into Dennis's backstory. The church reference was taken from a photo of an abandoned abbey and the runes do mean something but I forget now.

I do remember that I was listening to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History while inking these, so when I look at them again I can hear him talking about bloody pain-fo-tainment in the Roman Colosseum, yeesh.

Somedays you can fake like it's 1986

noreply@blogger.com (V Fish) — Tue, 03 Apr 2018 23:28:00 +0000

In college I became a HUUUGE fan of the animators The Brothers Quay, and fought hard to track down all recordings of their films.

Silly me, I had no idea they contributed to Peter Gabriel's SLEDGEHAMMER (which is a song I freaking love anyway) along with Wallace & Gromit animator Nick Aardman.

I just love the photography in this, the depth of the tones in the film, the gritty nature of it (picturing tails of film reeling through the production rooms) - it's just something that digital can never capture.

How fortunate we are to have access to so many articles like this, preserved in the kind of pop culture archives that is the internet.

I still love to dig up and rummage through these incredibly labor intensive music videos, they provide so much inspiration!

BLACKWOOD is coming this May!

noreply@blogger.com (V Fish) — Thu, 01 Mar 2018 20:05:00 +0000

Hi friends,

Super excited to talk about the newest project I'm working on, BLACKWOOD written by the inimitable Evan Dorkin and assisting me on art duties is my lovely husband Andy, published by Dark Horse Comics.

The code to preoder the book is: MAR180038

Here is the cover to issue 1, a sample page, and a beautiful variant by Becky Cloonan (below)

Many thanks to Diamond for picking it as a Gem of the Month, and to everyone for putting up with my promo spam.

The back cover. Each issue will have a main different character silhouette with hints at their backstory.

Hope you like it!
