Jeff Jones Memorial Mural

Hello, folks. As some of you may know my father's best friend and peer passed away 2 weeks ago, and here is the mural James O'Barr and I did for Jeff Jones yesterday on Clarion Alley in SF.  It came out really nice, and we summoned Jeff's spirit for the project as it is taken from one of his master works. It was blocked in with spray can and finished with brushes and acrylics. It took 6 hours. The mural will appear in Jeff's documentary coming out later this year. RIP Jeff.
We will miss you dearly, 
Mark  Bode

In other news, James just told me he's going to be at SacCon on June 5th. Before he attends the convention, he'll be working on a mural in Sacramento with Mark Bode. Before you ask, no... I do not yet know where the mural will be. I'll let you know as soon as I know!

So for those keeping up, that's two definite conventions coming up:

Sacramento Comic Convention - June 5th and Albuquerque Comic Expo - June 24th-26th

An image of things to come...

Coming soon from Motion Works...

New Book featuring James O'Barr artwork on the cover!

James just sent me a link to this new book. He was commissioned to paint the cover for it, and it is awesome! I'll post a scan of the full painting without the added text soon, so watch for that! Until then, you can zoom in on the Amazon page for a closer look. (This would be a good Krismas present for the CrowFan on your shopping list!)

Crow covers by Miran Kim

James asked me to show you CrowFans some beautiful artwork by a friend of his, Miran Kim. Check this out: Crow Covers on eBay

Miran Kim is most known for doing 40 of the 41 original X-Files covers. She also did work for Vertigo Comics, Stars Wars, Mars Attacks, Predator and all four paintings in this Crow series 5, "Waking NIghtmares" done in 1997.

Just a note: These paintings are NOT by James and we're not the ones selling them...

Enjoy!

I started scanning a sketchbook James brought over yesterday, and I just created a new gallery for his sketches. Check it out! (Look to the left...)

Bright and Colorful (for a change!)

James just brought over some new pieces. You can tell that he's a real artist... not just "that guy that drew The Crow" when he does stuff like this!

And the best for last...

If you're interested in bidding on any of them, click the picture to get to the eBay auction.

Also James brought me a couple of old sketchbooks, so I'm going to be scanning some of his older drawings and putting them up. I think I'll make a gallery just for that. Watch for it before next weekend!

James also brought a Valentine's Day drawing, so be sure to visit on the 14th!
