Tarantino Comics - Issue 10

Tarantino Comics #10 was the last issue I had drawn at Dragon Con 2010. Inspired from Pulp Fiction, Jason Flowers did an awesome job drawing Bruce Willis as Butch Coolidge.


Thus so far, Jason has probably drawn the most technical piece, as he illustrates an awesome perspective as Butch descends down into the basement to get his revenge. If you like how Butch is armed with the samurai sword and blood dripping down his face, check out Jason's other work at http://www.jasonflowersart.blogspot.com, especially if you like horror. If you see him at a comic show, I definitely recommend getting some original art from him.

Tarantino Comics - Issue 9

Before I showcase today's issue of Tarantino Comics, I'd like to give a quick shout-out to the website Everything Tarantino. They are a great provider of Tarantino news, ranging from film rumors, announcements, and appearances. In a recent post, they pointed out this blog, so thank you for the word of mouth! Please go check them out at http://www.everythingtarantino.com/

Tarantino Comics #9 was drawn by Josh Greathouse. Done at Dragon Con 2010, Josh was inspired by Tarantino's signature camera angle: The Trunk Shot! From the perspective of soon-to-be-earless Marvin Nash, Josh did an amazing job illustrating Mr. White, Mr. Blonde, and Mr. Pink's facial characteristics with his own style.

Tarantino Comics - Issue 8

Last September (2010) I went to Dragon Con in Atlanta, Georgia. It was not my favorite con, as everything was too spread out and the con staff was not very helpful when we received counterfeit badges from their own ticket booth. Regardless, there were some really awesome costumes, ranging from comics, fantasy, television, and film. This was also the first time I've ever seen a city block off their streets for a cosplay parade.

Dragon Con doesn't have the largest artist alley in the world, but they still had a lot of talented artists. And seeing his work in the past, I had Chris Moreno draw the cover to Tarantino Comics #8:


Chris did an awesome job uncovering one of the buried treasures from Tarantino's work, the Four Rooms segment - The Man from Hollywood. His caricatures and facial expressions remind me of the old Mad Magazine Movie Parodies. Chris is a terrific artist, fun to talk to, and has a great sense of humor (in the past, he drew the Swedish Chef chainsawing the Two-Headed Monster in half in my Muppet Show vs. Sesame Street sketchbook). This is one of my favorite pieces to date because of his level of detail and the rarity of the idea.
