Cap'n America Design by Joe Baron (me)

Comic con NYC was this past weekend and I printed up one shirt for myself to wear one of the days. I worked on a Cap'n American design before, but the text wasn't that great and needed work. I decided to use the flip the Captain America logo. I did get some onlookers who complimented me on the shirt and it felt good. Maybe I'll submit it to Teefury, Ript, the Yetee, or some other daily t-shirt site.

Comic Stormtrooper clones

This is might be a geek favorite, but either way I thought it was kind of cool. The line art was done by Jon Bolerjack, while the colors was done by JJ Kirby.

 

 

Cap'n America

Here is a fun design I created. I haven't seen anyone parody Cap'n Crunch and Captain America like this, so I decided to combine both of them.  It was fun creating this piece.

Superhero Prints by Danny Haas

Danny Haas has a couple prints for sale, but these superhero ones caught my attention. They're minimal with nice texture and they show both sides of the character. His prints cost $17.68 and if you like what he has done, then I'm sure you have no problem decorating your office or home with them.

The prints are a fine art print on bright white, matte, ultra smooth, 100% cotton rag, acid and lignin free archival paper using an advanced digital dry ink method to ensure vibrant image quality. Custom trimmed with 1" border for framing.

Baby Magneto

(click to enlarge)

This is a very cool image that was created by Victor Hugo Queiroz. It looks like Pixar X Marvel combo. He used 3ds max, Photoshop, VRay, and ZBrush to make the image you see.

Marvel X Stussy

Soon to be available at Stussy.com, Stussy stores, and selected stores worldwide is the new collection collaboration from Marvel and Stussy. Stussy looked all over from comic books conventions, eBay, and local comic book stores for old issues with classic covers that fit with their brand image and design aesthetic. These vintage images were scanned from comic book covers and posters from the 1960's-1990's. This is a smart move from Stussy, to collaborate with biggest comic book company. It also brings street credibility for Marvel for allowing one of the popular streetwear brands to license their iconic superheroes. It is not the first time Marvel heroes ended up on t-shirts, but the work that Stussy put into, to find rare photos will certainly make this a hit. These t-shirts will be available on April 27, 2011.

365 Days of Creativity -Day 8

Here's a sketch of Thor and the Thing. I was in the mood for sketching comic book heroes. Comic books influenced me to continue drawing when I was younger. Like many people, I to wanted to work in comics, and maybe some day I can work in some way even if I'm no illustrator, inker, or colorist. The funny thing is I'm not really a fan of Thor or the Thing.

Marvel to release Tron Influenced covers

Marvel will be releasing special covers that pay homage to Tron. These covers are extremely cool and they look like the superheroes belong in the movie. I definitely like the Spider-man, Ghost Rider, and Captain America the best, but all the covers are very well done.

Marvel turns NBA teams into comic covers

This is a very cool, every entire NBA team has been turned into a comic book cover. Some teams are more cleverly done than others, but it is still quite cool to see that the NBA team and Marvel are combined.  To view the rest click here. It would be interesting to see Marvel create covers for other sports. I'm curious what the football or baseball teams would look like.
