Dan DeCarlo’s Jetta!

Justin — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 02:39:27 +0000

Coming to bookstores this Wednesday (April 14th) is the beautiful hardcover book “Dan DeCarlo’s Jetta”, compiled and designed by Craig Yoe!

Craig tracked down all of the issues of the rare short-lived series, including some of the original inked art, and put together a really gorgeous book. He also got 37 pin-up artists from all over to contribute original pieces for the book, including Craig McCracken, Bill Presing, Stephen Silver, and Dean Yeagle. I was fortunate enough to be invited to contribute as well, and had a blast doing the pin-up:

Also, here is a progression of the piece, from color comp to rough sketch, inks to blocked in color:

And here are just a few of the pin-ups from the book, by Scott Tolleson, Andrew Pepoy and Bill Presing:

Copies of the book can be purchased here! Yay!!

Alright!! 2010 is well under way, and things are a’ movin’ and a’ shakin’!! Thank you to everyone who is still coming by to visit my little blog here!

As some of you may know, I’ve taken some time off from the studios to work on personal projects, and I plan on updating the blog much more often with new art, progress of my animated short film and other projects I’m working on, and just random cool stuff in general. I appreciate all of the support everyone has given me and the kind comments you’ve left on my various sites, and my goal is to keep this blog as the main hub for all the fun craziness that will be the next couple of years. WOOHOO!!

So, in the meantime, here’s a quick doodle for ya!
