Description
...this was my first official drawing of Mitch Hyman's "BUBBA; the Redneck Werewolf", did this back in 2001.I have drawn two full issues of the character plus some promo illustrations and T-Shirt designs, needless to say, I have improved over the years, especially on the rendition of BUBBA's girlfriend; Bobbi-Jo(she doesn't look as trampy anymore).
This illustration was used as a variant cover(con-exclusive) for BUBBA's first issue which premiered at MegaCon/2002.

I worked on the last two issues of "BUBBA";
"the X-Philes", and "Rumble in Romania".
"the X-Philes" was my first published writing gig, I also did the art for it as well.
I do not know when I'll have the chance to write another Bubba story , I am currently developing my own projects at the moment, the first of which will come out next fall/2010.

wow, amazing.
what size bristol board you use for your work out of curiosity?

-thanks, glad ya like.
I usually get the big pads of Bristol by Strathmore(19X24) smooth finish for inking.
Then I usually cut them down to 2 11 X 16 halves-saves money in the long run.
Every once in a blue moon I'll actually pick up a bag of comic illustration boards which are already cut and measured with guidelines ,but damn they're expensive!
