Brianna Renee - Padme Amidala

2018.01.21 Jersey Shore Comic Con, Toms River, NJ

Brianna Renee is a student artist, who set up a table at the Jersey Shore Comic Con. Brianna's tumblr stated she has been drawing since the age of 12, and is ready to share her art. I was impressed by her art and enamel pins, which were heavily influenced by Star Wars.  Therefore it was  a no-brainer that I would request a sketch of Padme..

Matthew Clark - Star Trek Mugato

2018.02.10 WinterCon, East Brunswick, NJ

Prior to the show, I had looked through some of the commissions that Matthew Clark had done. Lots of Batman and Wonder Woman. Both good choices, but I get a lot of artists who want to draw them, so my preference has been to ask for villains, since they are more interesting. I asked my usual question, what would you like to draw. Matthew's response, "When I am asked to draw what I like, you will get a tribble."

I came back with I have Star Trek! - I handed over the envelope and Matthew perked up saying he already knew what to draw, but did not tell me. When I returned I was pleasantly surprised to see the Mugato, a simian-like creature with white fur, a rhino horn and sharp fangs. The character appeared in A Private Little War season 2, episode 19.

Mathew Clark originates from Portland, Oregon. A long -time fans f comics, he has had the pleasure of drawing for many of his favorite titles, including Superman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Vampirella, Ghost Rider, Doom Patrol, Outsiders and others

He is also one of the founders of Mercury Studios (Periscope Studios)
