He IS the British Government
Hanging out with Cara (ihavebeensherlocked), Jackie (jackiemakescomics), and Calista this weekend made me want to do nothing but draw Sherlock fan art. Did two today. Here's the first.

WIZARDING WEDNESDAYS: Snape!
Um, this Wizarding Wednesdays character is a day late because, well, I forgot to post it yesterday. Oops.

Figured I'd try my hand at shirt design via redbubble. These are for sale on American Apparel tees, if anyone wants them - creme regular shirt, pink girl's fitted, and gray lil' kids.

Ghost Rider
It’s a shame that Ghost Rider doesn’t look like this.
But that’s not nearly as shameful as Marvel not immediately forgiving the $17,000 that Gary Friedrich, the co-creator of the character, has been ordered to pay the corporate giant as a de facto punishment for having the audacity to try and claim a financial stake in a character that has reaped them millions.
Luckily, the near-universal contempt that everyone is feeling for Marvel’s current business practices regarding this situation has resulted in numerous ways to donate to Friedrich, who is in danger of losing his house.
You can donate to help Gary keep his house at Steve Nile’s website. My suggestion? Whatever money you might have spent to see the Ghost Rider movie, instead send that to the guy who gave you the character, and catch the movie when it’s on Redbox if it’s the sort of thing you want to see.

Sherlock Holmes paper figure set for sale!
Finally, I've got something new for sale:
SHERLOCK HOLMES PAPER FIGURES
This set of 8 paper figures makes an excellent addition to the collection of any Sherlock Holmes fan, whether one intends to display them on a bookshelf or reenact the great detective's exploits on the floor of the family play-room.
SHERLOCK HOLMES PAPER FIGURES
This set of 8 paper figures makes an excellent addition to the collection of any Sherlock Holmes fan, whether one intends to display them on a bookshelf or reenact the great detective's exploits on the floor of the family play-room.
The figure set, professionally printed on a nice, heavy recycled matte card stock and packaged handsomely by my wife Liz, who did all the folding, stuffing, etc (see below), is available for $11. Shipping is free on this item, TO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! Unless there's like some sort of post office in Antarctica and it costs seventy bucks to ship a letter there, or something, but that's a bridge we'll cross should we come to it.
Also, I'm a HUGE fan of the wonderfully done BBC Sherlock series (which is available both on DVD and on Netflix Instant), and I couldn't resist making a complimentary Sherlock and John figure. Now, before any of the rabid Sherlock fans ask, no, I'm not selling this one. Sorry. I don't want to incur the wrath of the BBC (which I love) nor do I want to make money off of their property. But I do want to make it available if anyone who gets the 8-figure set happens to be a fan. So I've included two "buy it now" buttons, same price - one is for just the figure set, the other is for the set plus the extra figure which I based on the likenesses of Cumberbatch and Freeman. Be sure to check the latter if you want the extra figure, and if you don't, please check the former. I didn't make nearly as many of the BBC ones, and want to make sure that those who want 'em do, in fact, get 'em. If this figure somehow inspires a fence-sitter to watch the show, hooray!

"Catfoot" Crogan
I've been posting these labeled drawings of my interpretations of other people's characters for like two months straight, and I thought, "You know what? Maybe I should post my own!" So here's the first of a bunch of figures from Crogan's Vengeance: the book's protagonist, "Catfoot" Crogan.
As with the Sherlock Holmes figures (sets of which I'll begin selling on Monday), I plan to make these into sets of paper figures. I may make them available as papercraft downloads that you print yourself, but the downside with that is that these colors are too similar to each other to have good definition when printed on an inkjet, I may print them up professionally and have them available at shows and for sale online. I'd love feedback on that from whoever has a strong opinion.
The other question I have is one which I hesitate to ask, for fear that if I end up deciding to go in a direction other than what someone suggests I'll end up alienating that reader, whereas if I just did it and gave no options then no one could be bugged. Ah, but I'm on the fence. Here's the question:
If I were to make these Crogan paper figures available, would you all want them with the names serving as a stand at the bottom, as is currently the case, or would you want them absent this text? I feel like the text does a good job of giving them all a similar element that ties them all together, but I don't really know. Thoughts?
