Gone for awhile...but not without reason!

While I was gone I was published and featured prominently in Guild Works Publishing's BEST SHOTS hardcover, had a NEW artbook called "46" come out from Free Lunch Comics AND I have braved this thing called Facebook! In honor of these great happenings, I will treat you to a peek from the Best Shots hardcover, available NOW!

Tons of stuff now available...

2010-06-21T11:27:00.003-02:00

freelunchcomics.com is now selling my prints AND my second Art Book will be at press soon! I will be posting artwork and commissions from my awesome trip to Heroes Con in North Carolina too! Go to Free Lunch to see my prints and more!

This pic here I did for the Sky Pirates people.

Comics For A Cure

Went to visit Matt over at Free Lunch Studios yesterday and I drew up a few cards to donate to the American Cancer Society. Here are my roughs and my finals.

Ohhh! Here's a couple!

2009-08-04T16:38:00.002-02:00

Did each of these commission pieces at the Connecticon over the last couple years. Guy was nice enough to scan them and email 'em to me! Thanks, guy!

Norm gets serious!

2009-07-30T21:29:00.003-02:00

Sorry I have not been around...maybe this'll make up for it. This isn't the half of it! The pic goes just below the knees....yowza!

Happy Mother's Day

Norman

Seriously, be good to your moms...

Commission!

2009-04-15T15:56:00.002-02:00

Here's a piece I just did....used pen and ink and touched it up with watercolors! Fun!

Happy Easter!

2009-04-13T10:39:00.004-02:00

Well, the 2nd Norman Katz book is almost complete! Could not be any happier about that! Here's a little pic from it. The Free Lunch comic, Beyond the Kuiper Belt should make it's debut at the Space comic show in Ohio this upcoming weekend. Excited about that too cuz I did the pencils and inks for the cover (1st non Norman comic cover gig, yay) and I helped Matt Ryan with some of the character designs.

Another piece from Boston Comic Con

2009-04-09T23:01:00.001-02:00

This was a sketch card that I did at the show.

whew! pretty busy

2009-04-07T13:39:00.004-02:00

So here's what Matt would call a super post!
Finished the commission piece for Hema. Plus a commission from the Boston Comic Con

Next step...

2009-03-02T16:04:00.003-02:00

Today I start to color it...

Just made available the mini-prints that I've been working on and only sold at conventions. Check them out over in the column on the right. I'll add to them as they become available.

Step by step

2009-02-17T22:31:00.001-02:00

Keep an eye while I work on this client's commission piece.

Here's another print...

2009-01-29T22:36:00.006-02:00

Will it be available at the New York Comicon's Free Lunch booth: 2271? I hope so! It features April May I, a super cool fetish model I met a while back at Wizard World Phili.

If not, you can always order one for $2 each through paypal to mattsminestudio.

New Pic

2009-01-07T16:07:00.002-02:00

I plan on making a print of this in '09 after some tweaking

A quick doodle

2009-01-01T20:49:00.003-02:00

Happy New Year everyone! Here's a quick doodle from one of my sketchbooks. I'm debating including it in one of my next books...

Happy Holidays!

AUTOGRAPHED Prints by Norm and Dawn Marie

2008-12-11T12:41:00.003-02:00

This is awesome! Dawn Marie and I have worked together and we've come up with these great prints! I only have a handful of these available, but they are all SIGNED by Dawn Marie (and myself!). This is something I will do more and more of. We're selling them through paypal to mattsminestudio@aol.com for $20 each (shipping included).

Here's somethin'

2008-12-05T17:06:00.002-02:00

Here's something you won't see at the mine studio blog...the un-censored pic I drew a couple years ago. Matt's coloring it.

2008-12-01T13:57:00.002-02:00

I LOVE Chelmsford Mass! They have a great show up there! They make me feel like a superstar up there. I had so much fun with the FLC guys. I had a hard time letting this one go! Kevin of Rodasia took a few pics that I drew so I'll post 'em when I get 'em.

S'been a while so here's a treat!

2008-11-18T15:43:00.002-02:00

Here's a babe I drew a couple years ago and Matt inked it for me!

Crayons can be fun

2008-10-09T15:47:00.002-02:00

Here's a pic I did a couple days ago in crayon.

Commission

2008-10-05T15:48:00.002-02:00

Here's a kitten I did as a commission at a show up in New Hampshire. I love doin' 'em. If you want me to do one for you, shoot me an email at mattsminestudio@aol.com

Just a little warm up

2008-09-26T15:57:00.001-02:00

Done in ball point pen...

work in progress

2008-09-23T13:09:00.004-02:00

check it out! Here's a gig I got yesterday. Took pics of it from gesture to final.

Here you go!

2008-09-15T12:40:00.003-02:00

Had a great weekend! Here's a gift from me to you! I'm thinking about submitting a sketchbook to Free Lunch full of this kind of "unfinished look" stuff.

Big Job

2008-09-15T12:11:00.003-02:00

I did the pencils and inks on this pretty big gig. Matt did the colors and Steve prettied it up. I'm very happy with it and the client was too. I could end up getting a comic job out of this...

Sky Pirates

2008-08-27T18:59:00.002-02:00

Here's a pic of Shyni from Sky Pirates. Matt Ryan's going to ink and shade it and it'll be used for something at Jolly Rogue Studios.

First Kitten

2008-08-16T01:20:00.001-02:00

Welcome to my Kat Nip Blogger. Here I will take requests, display kittens and sell them too. Take a peek and come back often. This cutie here was just listed for purchase at http://www.comicspace.com/mattsminestudio/
She was originally printed in my first artbook.
