***COWABUNGA CORNER’s interview with Dario ..::

“Through Ninja Turtle history there has been a lot of artist who have touched the TMNT Comic Books, between Mirage, Archie, Image, Dreamwave and now IDW. Turtle fans have had the honor to see the art styles of many different people. One of those people is Dario Brizuela who was an artist on the Tales of TMNT Volume 2 by Mirage Studios, and could very well be an artist for one of the new IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle comic series. Here we talk to Dario about the possible chance of him working on IDW’s newest Turtle series which has not come out yet.

We met up with Dario at New York City Comic Con, thanks to Tokka who pointed out his booth to me and introduced us. Dario and I talked a little bit as I bought a print and an original artwork piece. After talking for a bit I asked to do this interview. It’s short, but was really good to get this chance to talk with Dario.”

FISHFACE

Shredder’s Underworld Underwater Thug

A thug with no equal, Fishface was once Xever, a street urchin recruited by the Foot Clan for his incredible criminal skills; Mutated by the Kraang, this crook’s become even more crooked, thanks to his hybrid body
Forced to rely on powerful, robotic legs and an external, water-breathing rig. Fishface may be a “fish out of water,” but that doesn’t stop him from being the Turtles’ most cutthroat enemy

You’re gonna Love my Dad: Shellback Artworks, Wells Maine

Happy New Year, my fellow Machines!

Ahh, a new year, new beginnings… one of my personal resolutions being to get Back into drawing again. Unfortunately, I’ve had such a drought of creativity, I didn’t know where I was gonna find my starting point.

Then, last week, I received an e-mail from a pleasant fellow named David, and a link to a ‘commercial’ he created involving his best friend’s dad – Steve Lavigne – and his comic/art shop “Shellback Artworks”.

Needless to say, the commercial inspired me to go to the shop. It’s just over the border in Wells, and it was a nice drive today.

It’s a simple two-level set up, with original artwork on the walls TMNT and Non-TMNT. The main level has plenty of current comics, old swag from the Old Toon days, art supplies and even the full-sized Turtle statues. And they are BIG. They made me feel normal-height. 🙂

The upstairs was part art gallery, part classroom setting. Steve has some short classes where he helps kids and adults learn how to draw their own characters and make their pictures look like comic book covers. Talk about an experience to treasure…

The Mirage guys have taken part in a few signing events there, and they’ve all contributed to the shop in different ways. It’s nice to know that they still get together … like a wacky, slightly dysfunctional family.

Steve was a great host. We ended up talking for two hours about everything from comparing traditional vs digital art, Mirage comics and the current TMNT cartoon, even things like cars, transformers and best of all, the Mirage crew’s original projects.

One project in particular I liked were two children’s books Steve’s illustrated, which have music written by Tim Janis – very well known, if you’re from New England. “Shine like a Lighthouse” and “Twinkle Star’s Adventure”. It’s the tale of the sea creatures that live in the waters surrounding the Nubble Lighthouse in Cape Neddick. The illustrations are cute and colorful, the music is enjoyable (sounds a Lot like James Taylor), and the plushies of the two main characters are sure to become favorites with your little ones.

So after taking a picture and buying a few things, we bid farewell with plans to meet again – next time, with my brother’s antique car and some new artwork – if there was ever such a thing as a creativity transfusion, I received one today.

Be sure to check them out on facebook, learn of the glory that is the Eberhard Faber indigo blue drafting pencil, and stop by the shop and say Hi to Steve. Things are quiet right now, but as the weather warms up, so will the activities and upcoming events.

So Stay Tuned!

–>>The North American version of ** NINTENDO POWER is no more as of last month, yet lives on forever in the memories of a couple of generations now.

Obviously, the Teens have impacted the video game scene within’ and beyond N.P.’s important 25 year video game legacy & coverage.

Featured multiple times in the mag, and handful of times featured directly on the cover .. this was their first N.P. review paralleling their famous N.E.S. introduction way back in 1989.
