Thought I would show these off. I've had these for a few months now but finally got a chance to scan them,

By Peter Laird and colored by Steve Lavigne.

ok this one is new. FINALLY! i landed an early jim lawson piece. this one is dated 1987. its a real nice sketch done with ink on art paper. its about 8x11. i LOVE the early renderings by jim. i'm so stoked to finally own one!

these next few have been in my collection for a while, just never posted them before.

another early one from jim, though not AS early. this is a page from my favorite TMNT issue (asside from #1) #28, Son's of the Silent Age.

here is a cool ink on bristol sketch done by Rick Arthur (author of TMNT #44, the Violent Underground). Rick's a great guy and gave me a lot of behind the scenes info on the making of this issue.

*DonatelloFan* · 03-29-2012, 07:33 PM

Nice Lawson drawing. Seeing this, I definitely prefer his early work to the blocky style he has now. If he would do commissions in his old style, I'd definitely try getting one.

Jim's art can take time for some people to ''grow on''. When I first got into Mirage, I thought his artwork was atrocious. But now, the 2 commissions he did for me are my absolute favorites in my collection. Go figure. Because he really does quality work. I say go for it, either way. You will NOT be dissapointed.

*Powder* · 03-29-2012, 07:45 PM

Wow, that old Lawson piece is rad! His super early turtle work is very cool. & wow, a Rick Arthur piece? Don't think I've seen anything post #44.
Rad as hell.

*Samhain* · 03-29-2012, 08:15 PM

Oh, and Plasticplayhouse, those pieces are sweet! You really don't see a lot of old-school Lawson sketches like that. Actually, that's the first one I've ever seen. From 1987 too, good stuff.

at first when I started checking out the newer mirage stuff that I missed when it was new I was like "wtf"

now I really love his art style, some of his art in this very thread is just amazing. I guess he grows on you. One thing you can say is that you can instantly tell it's his art when you see it, he has his own unique style and I dig it a lot now.

*Slap-Happy* · 03-30-2012, 11:18 PM

Went to the Emerald City Comic-Con today. Got a few sketches:

David Petersen

Erik Larsen (who has one of the strangest ways of drawing that I have ever seen.)

Rick Remender (who showed one of my Tales issues to Tony Moore saying "See! I drew THAT!")

Scott Campbell

Sean "Cheeks" Galloway (who had me sing the OT theme as he sketched it)

Lordmylar06 · 03-30-2012, 11:31 PM

@ Plasticplayhouse :
Love that 87 Lawson sketch! I really dig his earlier style and wish he'd return to it sometimes with newer sketches! The interior page is amazing as well! Good finds!

@ Slap-Happy :
I've wanted a shot to get a Petersen turtle sketch for a while! Awesome stuff.

*Plasticplayhouse* · 03-30-2012, 11:49 PM

awesome sketches slappy! love the petersen.

*Powder* · 03-31-2012, 04:27 AM

Rad stuff, the Peterson piece being the highlight of it. Larsen does indeed draw weird. Funny, Remender did the same when I met him.
Showed off the issues I'd brought to the guy next to him, "I actually did a brief run on the turtles for a bit, I quite liked how I drew them".

*DonatelloFan* · 03-31-2012, 09:24 AM

I'm not seeing what's weird about Larsen's sketch, but Remender? Now that is different. But all are awesome. Besides the Petersen sketch, the Scott Campbell sketch is probably my favorite. It reminds me of the innocence a child would draw a Turtle (curvy arms and all).

*Samhain* · 03-31-2012, 10:03 AM

Slap-Happy,

That Petersen Leo is great! I'm super jealous.

And that Scott Campbell has a very ''Adventure Time'' feel to it. I like it! Excellent!
