REMEMBRANCE OF MY DAD

2009-06-17T10:08:00.000-07:00

On May 12, 2009 my father passed away.

This letter is a brief THANK YOU to my dad. I did not know it until now but he was the biggest influence in my life. Good or bad, but especially with the great encouragement and support over the many years of my artwork.

We who loved him are left with the feeling of emptiness for just a little more time we could all have spend together with him.

His passing marks a scar in my heart and soul that can never be mended.

I'll honor his memory and all that he has stood for in my life and everyone else's who ever knew him.

I LOVE YOU, DAD.

Your son,

ANTHONY, JR.

MORE NEW ARTWORK FOR EBAY

2009-05-07T14:56:00.000-07:00

Hi Everybody:
Just wanted to add 2 more NEW pieces of artwork for Ebay. These are drawings I am doing with fellow comic book artist~Chuck Foulds. First one is a pinup of HAMMERHEAD. The SPIDER MAN villain. The second is a pinup of THE TERRIBLE TRIO. Villain's of BATMAN. These commissions are being done strictly for Ebay sales. In the past, most of my artwork being listed on Ebay were pieces that was used as either study or warm ups. Very rarely was artwork listed for Ebay listings until now. I am also in the process of doing commissions with another comic book artist~ Angel Gabriele. He just sent me some pencil pieces for inking. Once inked, we will be listing some of them as well.
Take care,
Anthony

HELLO 2009! I AM POPULAR NOW? WHO KNEW!

2009-01-07T12:51:00.000-08:00

Just got back this week from the Holidays. I did not know that I've become so popular. I actually have the ART POLICE watching over me now!
I had done 2 commissioned pieces of THE ROCKETEER a few months earlier from a regular client of mine. The client provided me with 2 copies of THE ROCKETEER that he wanted me to recreate. After they were completed, the client could not come up with the balance that was owed to me. I was pretty PO'ed about it that I then decided to list the pieces on Ebay to try and recoup some of my losses.
Unfortunately it turned out to be artwork by Rafael Albuquerque and Steve Epting that I had recreated. Not knowing who the artists were from the copies that I was given plus not a big Rocketeer fan. I had failed to give these 2 GREAT ARTISTS any credit or mention on the artwork. I fully apologize to them. I removed the items for sale on ebay and have since disposed of them. I will in the future give full credit to the artist on any artwork that I recreate. Since I now have the ART POLICE watching over me, I'll be doing less of it and listing more of my creator owned artwork instead. Hope this clears thing up with whoever this might have upset.
Take Care,
Anthony

BETTIE PAGE~SIMPLY THE BEST! (R.I.P.)

2008-12-12T15:56:00.000-08:00

I can't really explain it, but Bettie Page had an influence on me in getting into artwork as much all the artists that I have admired through the years.
Growing up as a kid, I knew of her images. I just did not know her by name.
It wasn't until Dave Stevens started doing his Rocketeeer comic books that I was finally able to connect the name to the images. She's my all time favorite pinup chick. We sell alot of paintings of Bettie on our Ebay store: THE KASO COMICS ART GALLERY mostly by the LEGENDARY FANTASY ARTIST~ MARCUS BOAS(Painting on the top of this page is by Marcus)
Take Care,
Anthony

WEREWOLF COVER

2008-12-05T14:46:00.000-08:00

Here's one of my newest freelance works. This is a cover to one of WAHEELA COMICS Titles: VERMILLION. Issue #3 or #4 I believe. This was originally penciled by SCOTT ROSEMA. I was only sent a copy of the pencils. I had to repencil it on a lightbox and then ink it. This was colored by GARY SCOTT BEATTY.
Take Care,
Anthony

BLACK PANTHER DRAWING~BRUCE TIMM STYLE!

2008-11-22T11:02:00.000-08:00

Here's a BLACK PANTHER drawing that I have done. This was strictly a study piece. This was done from a copy of a BRUCE TIMM piece. I repenciled it on a light box and then inked the whole drawing with markers. This is one of the rare times were I am using markers only! I mostly use brush and pen on my ink work.

Take care,

Anthony

DIAMOND COMIC BOOK DISTRIBUTORS~THEY SUCK AND THEY ARE SCREWING OVER THE PUBLIC!

2008-11-21T15:08:00.000-08:00

My continuing frustration with Diamond comic book distributors has finally reached it's BOILING POINT! We just recently got back another rejection letter(this will now be the 4th rejection letter from them on 4 different titles from Kaso Comics, Inc. within the last few years) from Diamond on our current comic book graphic novel -THE INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN UNLEASHED! (Copy of this letter is on the right). Now it looks like they are in the art and writing critic business as well as distribution. They have now, THE BALLS to take upon themselves what we the public want to see in print as a comic book. WHAT BOGGLES ME IS THAT 2/3rds OF THIS BOOK WAS ALREADY

DISTRIBUTED BY THEM YEARS AGO!. So what kind of game are they playing here. I think it's about time we all started complaining and writing letters to our local congressman about this sole distributor of comic books who seems to have the monopoly on this industry and has decided for us what we the public want to see in print in comic books. Who does not have any desire or reguard to include the smaller independent press companies in their fat ass catalogs. My biggest disappointment is in this Steve leaf character over at Diamond. I can go on and on, but what's the point. THE POINT IS WE ALL NEED TO START AND WRITE TO OUR LOCAL CONGRESSMAN AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THESE BASTARDS. THEY THINK THEY GOTTEN SO BIG NOW, THAT THEY HAVE DECIDED WHAT WE THE PUBLIC WANT TO SEE IN A COMIC BOOK.
