Jason Crosby's art thread

[JRCrosby]

Howdy Gang!

I figured I need to join the cool club and start an art thread. After working in the editorial field for 8+ years, I've had a blast working on sketch cards and commissions for the last few months. I'm working on several sets now that'll appear in 2014. I'll add my name to the new 'artist directly' sticky soon too.

I finally ordered some personal sketch card blanks. Here are two I finished recently - "Dr. Fate" and "Tarman"

Here are my covers I finished at the NYCC for the Topps' Mars Attacks booth. I have several blanks left for commissions.

You will be getting more business from me :) Top notch communication and amazing work. One of the best in the business!

[garrow21]

great stuff but the thump is my fav

[JRCrosby]

great stuff but the thump is my fav

Thanks! The 'Thump' is one of the few Star Wars cards of mine to show on ebay and sold for CHEAP.....like $16.

[ChrisM]

I bet a Greedo shooting first would be real popular ;)

I bet a Greedo shooting first would be real popular ;)

I have Star Wars blanks I haven't used yet. I may have to do a 'Greedo Shoots' piece.

Here's a Kick Ass combo - pun intended. These are the EXTRA GORE parallel! ;)
I may throw them on Ebay soon.

[Zerostreet]

The "thump" is an amazing card! And that Dr. Fate is all mine!

[ChrisM]

Those are nice. If you do the Greedo Shoots, post the ebay link here

[ekalbnz]

Awesome work Jason!

[ChrisM]

Jason, as "art director" I'd like the card to be in the style of the old Topps Star Wars cards.

As a surprise twist, the "shot first" could actually be either Han or Greedo beaning the other with a pea shooter in grade school.

Ok, I'll leave...

[Da_Fish]

I pulled one of your sketch cards out of Mars Attacks Invasion a couple of weeks ago.....pretty cool sketch

[JRCrosby]

Thanks ekalbnz and Da Fish. I guess you're happy you pulled a single and not one of my broken puzzles!

[ekalbnz]

I have only managed to get my hands on one of your Mars Attacks Sketches so far (technically I haven't got my hands on it yet as it is sitting in my COMC mailbox waiting for my next big shipment...) and love it. Will be eyeing up a couple more once the Xmas shopping has finished!

2013 has been a fun year for me - I journey into the sketch card realm for the first time, had the pleasure of drawing for Topps (Mars Attacks and Star Wars) at NYCC, and met numerous people on Blowout who are receptive to my inky doodles.

Thanks again for checking out my art and hopefully I'll have more to show in 2014!!

The card is in the mail headed to Switzerland as I type! I can send one your way too!! :)!

[JRCrosby]

While I was waiting on sketches to be approved for another job, I knocked out this sketch card puzzle for fun. Mean 'ol Grinch scared the little Who.

[JRCrosby]

that is the most terrifying the grinch has ever been depicted... ever... i would have pooted too

I was going after the terrifying Grinch! With my original sketches, I had a brutal 'Who Death' scene but decided with 'POOT' instead! :devil:

Let me know if anyone wants it!

And if I don't post over the next few days, hope everyone here has a great Christmas!!!!!

[ChrisM]

I wouldn't mind it...

Thought I'd show this since it was superhero related (but necessarily sketch cards)....

One of my talented friends and I trade Christmas gifts each year. This year, she quested her family to be drawn as the Avengers. Hope her brother doesn't mind being the Hulk though with this hair/dreads, he looks more like Lobo.

[Ty Hope]

Those rock!

[JRCrosby]

Thanks Ty. I'll be contributing 25 cards for the series.

[JRCrosby]

Just wanted to show off three cards for the upcoming Star Wars set. The cards are TINY so getting detail is tough. Tried my best.

the Wampa was NOT approved with the blood (stupid Star Wars for children - boo!) so I'll be keeping it as a return. I do believe the Wampa has a bloody mouth in the movie though.....like he just finished a Tauntaun sandwich.

Thanks, Steve. I'm excited to see how they look with the Chrome border.

[GUCD231]

I wonder how they will attach the boarder to the sketch card? maybe like A&G style.Thanks, Steve. I'm excited to see how they look with the Chrome border.

I was thinking A&G style myself w/ the smaller sketch card resting inside a Chrome frame.

[Zerostreet]

Nice! That Yoda looks like he's about to open up a can of The Force on someone.

[Zerostreet]

Nice! That Yoda looks like he's about to open up a can of The Force on someone.

[GUCD231]

Just curious do the sketch cards have blank or written backs? If blank they may just be gluing a full back and boarder to the sketch card.If not then I would go with the original idea.I was thinking A&G style myself w/ the smaller sketch card resting inside a Chrome frame.

[JRCrosby]

They are blank on back so your glue idea could 'stick'. :)

[GUCD231]

Nice,but I won't "hold you to it" :DThey are blank on back so your glue idea could 'stick'. :)

Here's a sketch card trade ("LeChuck" from the video game, 'Monkey Island') with fellow BO member, Pablo Diaz.

Here's another sketch card trade with fellow artist, Darrin Pepe. He requested Snake Plissken from 'Escape from New York'.

Awesome Snake Plissken Jason!

[JRCrosby]

Awesome Snake Plissken Jason!

THANKS! John Carpenter movies and soundtracks WERE my youth. Glad Darrin asked me to draw Snake.

[JRCrosby]

Here's a trade with fellow board member, Ted Dastick Jr. He requested horror icons, The Critters!

Ghoulies has nothing on Critters! :)!

[Ty Hope]

I vaguely remember a scene in Critters at a bowling alley when the dude destroys the pins.

[JRCrosby]

Ghoulies has nothing on Critters! :)!

Main thing I remember about Ghoulies is the VHS cover of the monster rising up from the toilet!!!

[JRCrosby]

I did a 2nd batch of monsters for the upcoming 'Legendary Lovecraft' set. I'll have 50 total cards inserted into packs.

[monster]

...those Lovecraft cards rock Jason!...

[JRCrosby]

Thanks Mark! I had plans to only do 25, but he sent 25 more blanks a few weeks back. More monsters = more fun.

[JRCrosby]

I haven't drawn anything non-sketch card related in so long that I decided to go away from the 2.5 x 3.5 format for an evening.

Not sure if there's any horror fans, but this couple (Trash and Suicide) from 'Return of the Living Dead' should be recognizable.

Thanks Chris and Michael. I enjoyed working on them.

Chris - It should look familiar! I liked your 'Flower Power' idea so much that I did that 8.5 x 11 version for fun afterwards!

Here are some previews of a project I'm working on with a fellow BO member. Can't wait to show the final!http://i61.tinypic.com/35atdhf.jpg

[JRCrosby]

Alrighty!!! I think I can finally show off the project I've had fun working on over the last few days. It's a autograph booklet for everyone's favorite 80s villains - Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees.

If you can't tell, the book will fold in the center with the front cover being the 'Freddy vs Jason' splashed text graphic.

Inside each blank window will be an autograph of the two actors, Kane Hodder and Robert Englund, famous for portraying the baddies.

Of course Blowout's own, Steven, is custom building the booklet. In return, I'll be drawing him something on his choice in the future!

I can't wait to get my paws on it!

the brush lettering (bottle of ink and a sumi brush) might be the most fun part of doing the card!

THANKS Mark!

...now are you sure you want to be giving away your "special-sauce" hand-lettering recipe?!?

[JRCrosby]

Nothing secret about anything I do - ink bottles, quill pens, and brushes.

Someone could tell me how they play their instrument, but no music would ever happen with my (lack of) skills.

[monster]

...agreed...everybody has a unique set of skills/style...

[monkeymcgee]

Wow--don't know how I missed your booklet update. That is outstanding!

THANKS!

I'm a modest collector and this has immediately jumped to the top of my favs list. I'm a horror nut so when asked what booklet I'd like, 'Jason vs Freddy' immediately came to mind.

I'll be doing Steven a custom sketch card in return, but will keep it secret until I get finished!

THANKS!


Here's the four cards I've completed for the Mars Attacks miniatures game. Six more to go!

Also....a neat coincidence....the town where the martian invasion takes place in the game is Greenville - the name of my hometown. I'm going to do a card or two featuring Greenville landmarks.

I haven't plugged the JEEPERS! set in a while. Here's all the finished cards we have so far. You'll recognize lots of talent sketch artists....several who post on this board!

www.facebook.com/JEEPERS

Go 'like' the Facebook page to see better views of each card. We hope to get enough participants to print a large, poster-sized uncut sheet!

Amazing work on those MA cards!

[JRCrosby]

Thanks Robert.

[ChrisM]

Would the Jeepers cards be printed on paper or card stock? I'd love to have them cut down to individual cards (no room for a poster).

Great MA sketches, and that last one reminds me of Earthworm Jim.

As far as the JEEPERS project, I don't know!!! I'd love to have a printed/collated set myself, but don't know of the best way to do it. I assume we'd have to leave it up to the individual artist to print a batch (100 or so) of their cards. They could sign the backs and maybe mail them to me so I could collate?? Any suggestions on printing?

The poster would be the easy way for everyone to view the cards, but like you, I'd like to have the set once we're finished.

Probably easier if all of the cards were printed on one sheet as a set, maybe arranging them 6 x 5 or so. Since you have an odd number of cards, make a checklist to get an even 30.

As far as cost for a nice 2 sided run, I have NO idea. I guess you could print them with selvage in between and guide lines for where to cut into individual cards (for those that'd want to do so).

[JRCrosby]

Here's the latest three Mars Attacks sketch cards for the upcoming miniatures game.

Totally at random, the city in the game is named Greenville, my hometown. I decided to draw a Greenville, SC landmark, the Falls Park Bridge, being blown up by the martian invaders. At the bottom,my wife, one of our Dachshunds and myself are running from the destruction.

Great work Jason,lots of detail for a smaller card.

[JRCrosby]

Thought I'd show off some off my Marvel Premier cards. First let me say this is the most fun I've had on a set. The card stock was amazing though the silver foil on the single cards was slightly distracting. In total, I did about 110 cards counting each type - singles, booklets, 3 and 4-card panels.

I'll start w/ the 4-card panel ones. I actually combined four of them into two large puzzles of Rocket Raccoon and Man-Thing (because he was a childhood fav).

Nice job with the cards. I probably won't be buying any of this product, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the secondary market for singles.

Those puzzles will probably be used for redemptions. At least, that is what they did last time.

Looking forward to seeing your base sketches.

Good to know about the two puzzles being redemptions. I'm guessing they'll fold the other multi-panel cards and insert into packs or will they be box toppers? Seems collectors wouldn't want the cards folded.

Since you wanted to see sketches of the singles, I'll start with those next!!!

Amazing cards Jason.I especially like the Gambit and Cable.

[Spider-Fan]

The panel cards were folded and inserted previously. There is a pretty sweet youtube video that upper deck did to show the process of cutting and folding them. Issue is sellers unfolding to scan and then folding again to ship - some painted cards chipped that way.

love the perspective on that spidey!

I can see how the paint would chip if folded too many times. I used some acrylic on my panel cards though not too thick. Hopefully there won't be much chipping then.

Thanks for the comments!

[Super8er]

Hi Jason! I don't hit this area too often, so its the first time I've seen your thread. Really nice stuff!

I love the Tarman in your first thread... a little William Stout influence in there, methinks!

Anyway, I really love your style, look forward to seeing more!

WHY THANKS! I'll post more of my Premier work in the coming days.

Stout's production work on the ROTLD is amazing. It's my favorite horror movie all time and I've been a zombie nut since the mid-80s when my older cousin's would babysit and make me watch it. The Tarman still kinda freaks me out.

Did these ROTLD pieces recently

[Super8er]

Awesome!!! ROTLD is one of my favorite films. I got to meet Linnea Quigley a few years ago at Wonderfest and she's a really nice person. I've met William Stout on numerous occasions and bought several original pieces from him. Really nice guy, easily my favorite artist and a huge influence on me growing up.

If I'm ever looking for a commission piece, is your website the best way to go or just message you here?

Love those two ROTLD pieces!

[pinhead767]

There is just so much awesome on this thread. That Marvel stuff is excellent, especially the Man-Thing. You just don't see him enough.

[JRCrosby]

Thank you Super and Pinhead.

Here are some of my favs of the 3-card panels for Premier.

[pinhead767]

Mysterio and Magneto are my favorites of those.

[JRCrosby]

And my FAVORITE part of my Marvel Premier cards are the booklets. I designed my own subset I call "Famous Fisticuffs". My goal was for them to appear like classic wrestling or boxing posters. I really needed another week or two for me to add everything I wanted to these cards (more text inside), but out of the 110 Premier cards, these are some of my favs.

[ricksam]

very cool subset

no teams though?
xmen vs avengers // maybe too small a space

[BCush56]

I'll let Jason do the honor of putting the commission he just finished for me up, but I will say " for my first commission I don't think it could have went any smoother. It is a variation of something we have seen him do before, but it still was jaw dropping opening the emails to see each step in his process. Highly recommended and will do a commission again from Jason in a heartbeat. There were some other words I was going to use other words to describe the awesomeness but it will get me banned so just wait till he posts it

[JRCrosby]

I'm way behind on posting art to my own thread as opposed to the set threads. Thought I'd update it tonight!

Finally got around to getting 11 x 17 prints made. I only had 20 of each printed and after 2 Cons, some are already halfway gone. Each illustration (expect the Tarman) are on heavy weight paper (heavier than your typical poster). Let me know if you want me to save you one...or two...or three!! ;)

As I mentioned earlier, I did an additional 21 'Premier' sketch cards (12 'Famous Fisticuffs' and 9 multi-panel) in the last few weeks on top of the 110 I did by the first deadline. Thought I'd show off my favs.

Sweet! Famous fisticuffs gets my nomination for best insert set of 2014. But you already knew that :)

I dont know the first thing about Groot and Rocket Raccoon (other than they were recently in a movie), but your sketches of them make me wanna start collecting them. All look amazing!

Thank you very much. The 35 'FF' booklet cards were some of my favs. I repeated very few characters so I had to do some research on the Marvel universe to find unique, but appropriate battles. Maybe UD will ask me to do an official 'Famous Fisticuffs' set next year. I have more ideas! :)!

Happy to have the Topps Star Wars 'Masterwork' cards outta my hair. Remind me never to do so many borders and hand lettering again!! (that is until the next set when I plan on using classic Football and basketball designs). I've already drawn up some 1965 Topps football and 1969-70 Topps basketball designs as commissions using the tall ROTJ blanks.

Onward to the next project!

*wish I would've gotten an updated scan of the final cards. Several are missing from this scan and I added a few touches on others.

Down to the last few hours to bid on my Topps ROTJ AP (first AP I've ever offered for public sale) of Boba Fett using the 1969-70 Topps basketball design.

Awesome work, Jason! You can take the rest of the week off!

[bdeguire]

Jason....I am so blown away by the cards you did for this set. Seriously, Topps could print these as base cards for a throwback mashup set of some kind. Thay are that good!

It makes me a little sad that we artists aren't getting comp boxes for this set. Otherwise I might have a chance at pulling one of them!

Thank you. I'm happy how they turned out. I was reliving my childhood sportscard collecting days all over.

I asked about a comp box too and yeah....too bad. From everything that's been posted in the SW thread, all rippers will have a great shot at pulling a coveted sketch.

Email the Topps AD and let him know about creating a throwback SW set. He mentioned to me he's toyed w/ the idea before. Maybe my art can be inspiration for them to try.

THANKS AGAIN!

[jrosales]

While all the artwork in the Masterworks thread is great, your stuff is the primary reason I ever click on that thread. Amazing.

[pinhead767]

I'd love to have any (or all) of those 1985 Topps Football throwbacks. Great job!

[JRCrosby]

I'd love to have any (or all) of those 1985 Topps Football throwbacks. Great job!

THANKS! I really like how the '85s turned out as well. I had more planned but ran out of time near the end. Now Topps needs to turn that design into a subset!!! And yeah...using my art. :)

[nastynice]

:eek: wow, you absolutely killed this set!! From conceptualizing, to inking, to colors, to lettering, to creativity...you just hit perfect from every single angle. People are going to be so lucky and happy to pull your cards. Great job!!

[JRCrosby]

No matter how many sketch cards I do, I'll never feel as comfortable inking as when I do a full sized piece.

[JRCrosby]

Awesome work I am really hoping a few of the Yoda ones make their way to ebay

THANKS!!! Yep...no Yodas have shown themselves, but the ripping is still in full swing. I'll bet one will show. I used him for THREE 1985 designs (just a coincidence): 1985 baseball, football and the USFL.

[AceGambit3]

ok I have to search for that Football Yoda sketch (would display nice next to my Rice RC). Maybe it will be in my box coming ;)

As mentioned in the masterworks thread, your sketches were my favorite part of this release.

[JRCrosby]

Thank you very much.

Oh....I used him for the '86 Topps football design. that might be my favorite one!!!

[JRCrosby]

Here's my first AP from MW. It's sold but I don't think the buyer minds if I show it off.

To differentiate the AP from the pack-pulled 1985 cards, I drew Boba beyond the black border (all pack-pulled stay within the square). I also used metallic paint and added 'AP' in the upper right corner. Let's call it a 'Faux Foil Stamp"! Too bad Topps doesn't print 'AP' for artists.

https://scontent-atl.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/l/t1.0-9/10991376_10153638338019115_5600362816346736583_n.jpg?oh=413613c26df79f4677d5d8f5bea8987c&oe=559269D5

[BravesFan4Life]

Yeah no Yoda yet..If it does and reasonable price will not be able to hit the BIN fast enough if it has one...saw the Vader, Stormtrooper, Han, Luke and Rancor so far....the 1983 Ewok and Ackbar are also pretty awesome.

I have seen his and though they were fun. I'll try to bring my own take to them.

I'm a hot rod guy at heart and grew up around muscle cars. I'm more excited about the upcoming Mad Max film and it's vehicles than I am the new SW.

[JRCrosby]

I have a base card in the SW:Illustrated set - the one-sheet subset. I wasn't sent any examples from Topps so I'm trying to buy them from anyone who is willing to sell cheaply. I'm using them as a giveaway to anyone commissioning me for a piece of SW art. Here's what they look like after I sign them!

BTW, the 10 examples I have are VERY off-centered to the left. Hopefully ALL the copies aren't like this??!!

Again...if you do have a copy you're willing to part with, let me know. I'm not selling these - just using them as promo inserts in my packages. THANKS!

I'm one of the 6 artists setting up at the 63rd Philly Non-Sports card show this October 17th and 18th. It's a RARE Con for me (only 3rd ever and first non-local) so if you're in the area please stop by to see me. I'll have prints, pre-drawn comic covers and cards and blanks for each for sell.

If you are attending and think you'd like a commission, hit me up now and I'll have it waiting on you in Philly.

THANKS!!

Not sure if you know, but I'll be setting up at the Philly Non-sports show October 17th and 18th. If you're going to be there and thinking about commissions, let me know and I'll have it waiting for you. Just shoot me a message.

This is my ONLY Con outside of my small, local one (Greenville, SC). I'd love to meet some of you!

See you soon

[JRCrosby]

Here's a horror set I'm working on for the Philly Non-Sports show. There will be several more baddies adding soon!

I cut my own blanks from a Strathmore Illustration board and they're GREAT (if I do say so myself). They're the same thickness as the Topps Masterwork cards and fit perfectly in a magnetic case.

Glad you like them!!! Let me know if you have more character suggestions.

I'm rushing to finish as many as I can before the Philly show. I still need to add the movie name in the long, thin rectangle at the bottom along with adding final color flourishes...but they're close!

Wish I could get my hands on some! Love the crossover you do to mimic the iconic sportcards. Since your audience is broad at a show, you'd probably want the more mainstream horror.

Here's a few that I think would be cool:

Norman Bates
Ghostface
Pinhead
Hannibal Lecter
Leprechaun

Good luck at the show!
