The following courtesy of Peter Laird ::

“A few months ago, Steve Murphy had the cool idea of getting me and Kevin Eastman to work together on a drawing (something we had not done in many years) which would then be used as the basis for a print, the proceeds from sales of which would go towards helping our friend Jake Black out with his medical expenses. (Readers of this blog may recall the other Jake Black Benefit print that me and the other Mirage artists produced (http://plairdblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/jake-black-benefit-print-at-fcbd.html and sold at “Free Comic Book Day” in New Hampshire.) Murph managed to convince Kevin to pencil up this drawing…

… which I proceeded to ink…

… and then that version was zapped off to Steve Lavigne so that he could do his digital color magic on it, as you see here in the finished 11 by 17 print.

(Please note that this is a somewhat poor quality digital photo of one of the prints — the colors are much more vibrant in the actual copies.)

And here, direct from Murph, are a few more details about the print, which will be premiered at this years’s San Diego Comicon:

“There are only 100 of them, each is signed by Peter Laird. This group of 100 is SDCC exclusive and will cost $25 each. All proceeds to benefit Jake. In addition, since Kevin is attending the con, people will have the chance to get Kevin to sign it as well.

We will also be selling the “Mirage group jam” prints at SDCC, for $20/each, also benefiting Jake.”

(Note: Steve Lavigne will also be attending the SDCC, so buyers of this print can get Steve’s signature on it, too.)

** And here’s a fun little thing — while inking the piece, I would stop about every minute or so and take a digital photo of the art. When I was done, I put all of those photos together into this (somewhat shaky) “time-lase” movie of the inking process. (( Please Click here for Video. ~t )). **

"THE BEST BAR IN 9999 + Dimensions : MUNDEN'S ! " , GRIM JACK #26 - spot ad .. art by Peter Laird (( 1986 ))

–>> This classic ad for the cult – fave “TMNT / GRIM JACK” crossover in pretty interesting from the long gone but not forgotten First Comics.

On the offset it gives off the classic whimsy and nature in diversity of the Mirage Aliens that Laird and Eastman populated the Turtles’ Galaxy with.

There is one thing of interesting note on this ad.

On Peter Laird’s popular blog in a post of **September of 2008 , Pete posted an illustration entitled “Enchanted Pilgrimage” ::

“Clifford Simak is one of my all-time favorite writers, and in the early 1980’s I played around with trying to illustrate some scenes from a few of his books. This one is from “Enchanted Pilgrimage”. “– PL

Obviously, these uncovered ‘Simak’ creatures from Mr.Laird’s archives are the same ones depicted as the Turtles’ extra-terrestrial drinking buddies in the GRIM JACK ad  !!

Laird answers Tokka’s tiny little questions.

**

t : What would be your ideal Crossovers ( imagining if no legal strings were attached ) ??

Laird: “Fugitoid” with “Magnus: Robot Fighter”.


Laird : .. ” but just recently, with the publication of issue #30, I have felt some new energy within myself regarding these comics. That doesn’t mean I am going to go back to a bimonthly schedule… but I think it definitely means there won’t be a year wait between issues.

t : What sparks this energy in you ?!

or what can spark it ?!

Laird : I wish I knew.

Then Laird drills Tokka.

Laird : Tokk, did you steal that credit card out of my wallet ?!

t: Umm..  – – –    O_O **
