I give you a spoof on military portraits (like this) with some of sci-fi's finest military leaders.

It's that time of year again. Here's to family, gifts and good eats.

Empire Strikes Back 3D Sketch Cards

noreply@blogger.com (Shelli Paroline) — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 18:40:00 +0000

Still can't believe I can draw Star Wars art as part of my freelance work. And my favorite movie, no less. Here are a few of my return cards from the set celebrating The Empire Strikes Back 30 year anniversary.

Art-Bending

I admit I was just about the last person to finish watching Avatar: the Last Airbender. So I'm drawing for penance. What? No, Sokka? Seriously, what was I thinking.

Eat your veggies!

So I don't know about you, but I'm ready to start my garden and can't wait for the weather to stabilize. I drew out these root veggies for new buttons. I even intend to package them with "little finger" carrot seeds --- which also promise to be tiny and cute.

Muppet Peter Pan

noreply@blogger.com (Shelli Paroline) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:14:00 +0000

I've been working with Boom! Studios on their Muppet comic line and this is a cover for the upcoming Muppet Peter Pan. I met the writer, Grace Randolph, of this series at SDCC '09; also chatted a bit with Roger Landridge, the brilliant writer and artist of the Muppet Show comic. All Muppet fans ought to be following the series --- you can even sing along to the musical numbers! I'm lucky enough to be illustrating a special issue of the Muppet Show right now. Stay tuned!

The 24th Century Geek

I drew this soon after seeing the Star Trek movie --- but forgot to share! And yes, that's Shatner.

The MCAF's Meow.

This past weekend I attended The Maine Comic Arts Festival in Portland with the huge force that is The Boston Comics Roundtable. This is definitely the break-out comic/small press convention --- and it was all thanks to Rick Lowell and his excellent staff, who had a fully realized and not to mention FUN festival their first year! How about that photo? Cat power!

So now I'm working hard to get to MoCCA; and yes, the rumors are true, the Star Wars fanbook trilogy will be premiering there.

Sketch Card Auction

noreply@blogger.com (Shelli Paroline) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 14:26:00 +0000

I donated some sketch cards to Comics for Cures and they are up for auction on Ebay! Proceeds go to the American Cancer Society so bid bid bid my Vikings!

Futurama card is here! Artie card is here!

noreply@blogger.com (Shelli Paroline) — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 17:14:00 +0000

Probably can't show any more than this spec work... but I assure you, I've been drawing some cool things lately, and can't wait to show more! On the topic of Muppets, I finally had the chance to see the full version of A Muppet Family Christmas. Add it to your holiday watch list if you have the opportunity! Happy New Year everyone!

Arrrt

Drew this pirate poster for fun and because the pop-up map idea has been in my head for a while now. With so many prints leftover from this weekend's convention, I might put it up for sale on my website.

Before comics roamed the Earth there was...

noreply@blogger.com (Shelli Paroline) — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 23:47:00 +0000

Well, I inked page one! Of course, with a show in Providence this weekend it might be put aside for a bit. For a related dino-link, check out the Nova's Four-Winged Dinosaur episode.

They're back?

noreply@blogger.com (Shelli Paroline) — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 00:41:00 +0000

So I'm working on a new book, and thought I'd start posting about it in my new blog. I've been meaning to make another kid-friendly comic, and thought dinosaurs would be a great theme. The main story is a ~~modern~~ prehistoric take on the tale of Sysiphus. However, it'll also include a few postcards, since I found a replacement blade for my paper cutter that makes perforated cuts. Brilliant. Above is Pachycephalosaurus --- although I'd say the drawings only 75% done. More to come!
