ReDefine in Seattle loves me!

Much gratitude to Vivian Hua over at ReDefine Magazine, out of Seattle. She gave my work at The Artist-XChange a shout out on the mag's Art and Music blog. Check it here:

-Bunker, out with Northeasterly love,

Art From Heroes Con!

I got back from Heroes Con in Charlotte, North Carolina, a few days ago. The show was GREAT! I got to kick out the jams with my boy Food One, Paul Maybury, Rick Spears, Kody Chamberlain, and a bunch of other fine chaps. And there were some badass female comic talents there, too. Big ups to Liz Prince and Danielle Corsetto! Many thanks to Dustin Harbin, Doug, Mike & Donna, and the whole crew for making us creators feel so welcome and taken care of.

Now, of course, is the part where I show off some of the pieces I drew for fans and collectors. I didn't get a single commission order on Friday, so I just worked on some drawings to pass the time and work out the kinks.


I rocked the "Hulk Smash" pic because, hell, who could resist drawing that lovable freak?! Then I drew Jun - my little ninja-girl from a solo project I'm working on - in "Slice." Then the "Blue Man" was just some off-the-cuff nonsense. I've still got all these, if anyone out there wants to purchase 'em. Hmmm?


Oddly enough, my first commisson on Saturday was for a Hulk pic. Just not the one I'd done on Friday.


And in no time, the requests and the ink were flowing! I knocked out my first ever Captain America piece (thank Greyskull I read The Ultimates, this year!). And a guy asked me to just listen to some Dizzee Rascal on my iPod and draw whatever inspired me. Hence, the "I'm Just Sittin' Here" drawing. Oyi!!! Fix up, look sharp!

The fans at Heroes were going for some unique commissions, man! One guy wanted a Tom Waits portrait (sweet!). Another just told me to "go wild." Such fun!

And the weekend's commission requests wrapped up with a pretty Tony Montana bow on top. I couldn't have asked for a better closer. Nothing says "the end" like some 80's Miami drug kingpin action!

No sleep 'til San Diego Comic Con!

King Gum and Food One Make Sac News!

Holy hot mackerel! Sacramento was fabulous, last weekend. And look... Jim and I ended up on the news! Zany!

Thanks to Anthony, Shawna, and the rest of the Leano Clan, for all the hospitality. Thanks to Ben, Jen, Corey, and the gang at Empires Comics Vault! Big ups to Jim Mahfood, Emo, Skinner, Mark Bode, Alex Chiu, and Stan 153 for being awesome art-cohorts! And muchas gracias to all the fans and collectors who came out to show some love!

I was sans camera all weekend. But you can see photos and art from the live art show at my boy Food One's Art Blog. Enjoy!

Bunker, out.

Sac-Con Flyer -- now in FULL COLOR!

Huzzah! Dig those funky colors! I had a blast doing this up in Photoshop. I know this is about as chromatic as Rainbow Bright's sock drawer. But I really wanted to jump from a conventional color scheme and make something explosive. If you're in the Sacramento area June 7 and 8, come check out the action. Two live art shows? Back to back? And one at a comic convention?? It's bound to be legendary!

Buffalo Bunker, over and out.

Everbody's DEAD #3...

... IS OUT NOW! Sorry for the short notice. I was told it wouldn't hit newsstands until the end of May, but it was on the "new" rack at my local shop, today. Go figure. Then go buy the book! Bunker go, "Bye-bye!"

New Live Art Flyer for Sacramento Shows...

Hey peeps! This is the drawing for a full-color flyer I'm working on. It's to promote two back-to-back live art shows I'll be doing in Sacramento, at the beginning of June!

I'll post the color soon....

-Over and out, Bunker make ya shout!

... deep in the heart of Texas!!!

Yee-haw! I'm back and recovered from an amazing weekend in Dallas, celebrating Free Comic Book Day at CAPE! It was another badass event organized by Rich Neal and the gang at Zeus Comics, including a live art fundraiser and a big-ol' free comic convention in a gorgeous park.


During the live art show, last Friday night, Mike Huddleston, Jim Mahfood, and I jammed together on this monster-fight piece above. It's appropriately titled "Hand Job," after Godzilla's rocket-hand attack.


Saturday at the convention ended up being nuts. Before I knew what was happening, I was caught up in a storm of making all sorts of drawings for people. Incredible!


Longtime fan and friend, Fernando, make it out and got a stack of drawings from me. He had a "Forbidden Planet" notepad that instantly made me think of "The Black Hole," one of my favorite flicks from my childhood. So I rocked this piece in homage to the world of crazy robots that helped make me the alpha-nerd I am today.


This Robopanda was another one for Fernando. Fire it up!


My last piece for Fernando was this Spidey-sketch. Boy, do I love me some Spider-Man doodlin'.


Sam, a fan I met at last year's show, came thru and hired me to tag up half of a white pair of brand new, size 13 Chuck Taylor's. Awwwwwesome! *** Mahfood did the other one. Hit up www.foodoneart.blogspot.com to see his customized shoe.*** Sam said he was into robots and such, so I turned the whole sneaker into one of my giant robots!


And the fun didn't stop there! The people kept on comin' and I kept on drawin!


This coked-out Wolverine piece was for a kid, Jon, I met at Wizard World Chicago in 2005. Back then, I did a piece for him with Spider-Man doing an upside-down bong hit. Well, Jon came to Dallas with that same sketchbook, and requested a companion piece. The first thing that came to mind was Wolvie on the yeyo. Kristian Donaldson gave me the idea to have him cutting lines. The rest is history!


And that's all she wrote, folks! I'm off to haul ass on Everybody's DEAD #5 and a poster design for my next live art event in Sacramento (June 7th, ya'll). Until the next post....

Giddyup!
