Up, UP and Away - it's a SUPER Post !!

In all honesty, this really is a super post, and I'm exited to bring it to you. I wanted to share with you more of our great lineup of Mac and Trouble sketch cards from all around the globe.

Let's get right into it with a few cards from the lovely Elfie Lebouleux all the way from Le Mans, France...

Her great style sure made our two rascally cats come alive in these cards !

Elfie is a fine artist who is known far and wide for her fantastic portrait work on sketch cards. Her work has appeared in such sets as The Avengers, Luxura, FemForce, and many others - and most recently in Grimm's Fairy Tales, and Dungeon Dolls. More of her work can be seen here at this website.

Next up, Stephan Lynch from Perth in Western Australia, brings us a somewhat humorous, and rather unique view of our guys as hand-puppets in his own comical style !

"Dude... your hands are cold !"

Stephan's work has been seen in a few recent sets for the March of Dimes and Island Dreams. You can see more of his work at this website. We hope to see more of his work in many sets to come !

Lastly, we present some cards from that far-away place called Houston, Texas. LOL Here, we see some our guy's misadventures from the pen of William 'BJ' Kunkle...

William's work has appeared in the Island Dreams and the March of Dimes card sets, and he does quite a lot of personal sketch cards.

If you want to see more, you'll have to look him up on Facebook !

A Very Medieval Update !

Dragons and Dogs and Sushi... Oh My !
We've been invaded...

Starting off, my cards from the "Fatsa" set - a new comic book coming soon from Mercenary Art Studio.

Really a nice book, with great art.

A recent piece that's up now on Ebay...

You can almost here Linus on piano in the background !

Here's a few of the latest editions to the "Mac and Trouble" card set...

First up, Neil Mak... in one of his first sketch card appearances.

We're really honored that Neil is making his debut in our set. More of his work can be seen in the "Fatsa" set as well (at top).

Next, the crisp artwork of Isaiah McAllister...

Sushi I expected, but the 'stone age' ?! Awesome !

Isaiah's great comedy artwork can be seen in the March of Dimes sketch card set, as well as his "Bears vs Zombies" webcomic at this website. One of the funniest offerings I've seen in a long time.

One last thing - we've added a new Mac and Trouble puzzle to our comic book campaign page... you'll have to check it out !

A few new pieces...

I wanted to share with you a few new things that I've been working on...

This first piece is of 'Magilla Gorilla' to be used in a new cartoon-oriented book from Jim Main at Main Enterprises.

I did the inks to the wonderful pencils of Joe Martino of Shadowflame fame.

The next pieces below are a few sketch cards I've done for the "Fatsa: The Lord of the Dragons" set, being released by Mercenary Art Studio.

I always try to do the 'oddball' characters when I do sets, just to be different LOL - and I was glad to see that they had a dog as one of the characters. His name is 'Brutus'.

Another recent piece is a PSC (personal sketch card) I did for Halloween...

Meet 'Spongebob Scarepants'... This is not yo' mama's sponge !

If you're interested in this original sketch card, please email me at rustyweb@aol.com. I also have glossy 4x6 prints of him as well.

Now for a few "Mac and Trouble" card set previews.

Here's some cool samples of Chris Thorne's wonderful sketch cards...

Capturing the silly cat poses we all know and love.

Chris is a convention favorite, and his great work can be seen in the "Walking Dead" and "CBLDF Liberty" sets (both from Cryptozoic) and the "Hammer Horror" set from Strictly Ink. His work on these cards has a blend of portrait and story book visions.

Next up is some fine work from J(ay)...

Cards with PURRsonality - LOL

J(ay)'s work can be seen in the "Island Dreams" set, "Painkiller Jane" set from 5finity, "Marvel Beginnings 2" and "The Avengers" cards by Upper Deck, the "March of Dimes" set, and many others. His unique stylings are a pleasant change from the norm, and shows the versatility of the sketch card market. Check out his website here.

These are just a few samples of their work - wait til you see the rest of their wonderful cards. We're lucky to have had them participate in this set.

Please check out all of the links above, to see more from the artists and subjects displayed here.
