Arsenic Lullaby- sketch card art Mars Attacks and Lovecraft

I've been sick as a dog the last few days, and working on a project I can't show you...but I have learned that the H.P.Lovecraft trading card set that I contributed to will soon be available.  I did some cards that are to be foil enhanced, fancy stuff!

I don't do much work for trading card companies, single images aren't really my strong suite, I'm more of a storyteller.  I have in the past done some sketchcards/chase cards.  How that works is the company will have some illustrators do actual original art on 50 or so special cards and randomly insert them in packs.  and theoretically people will waste lots of money buying extra packs in hopes of getting one of the cards.  A fine idea if not for ebay, where people who got the cards can just put them up for sale, to be bought by people rather than having to buy several boxes of cards in hopes of getting one.

Topps does this, Monsterwax used to, I forget who else. It's a nice change of pace, or a good way to get your foot in the door, or test the waters with a company. For instance when I did some sketch cards for Topps I learned that I don't even want to work for Topps again.   To be fair...I say that pretty much every time I work for a company...except Valiant.

Anyways...here's some scans of a few of the cards I did for Mars Attacks

and some I did for the previous Monsterwax H.P. Lovecraft set.

I'll let you know as soon as the new set is released with my fancy cards in it...assuming this cold doesn't kill me.

I'll be in St.Paul early next month at the MCBA Fall Comic-con! so come and see me. Bring energy drinks!

!!!!the tags list on Steemit is generated by code...which puts tags up there based on ONLY popularity of use. You will notice that as of yet #comics does not exist there. So what we have been doing is using the hashtag #comics every single time we comment on my posts ( or any other posts if you like). It doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense to use it...the code doesn't know the difference!!!!
