A comic book shop in Notting Hill! The shop did not have a very good selection of back issues, or new releases for that matter, but it's alway nice to see a comic shop. They're quite rare nowadays.
the emu, an Australian, is, according to all accounts. a curious and very amicable bird. And clearly very charismatic!!!
Graphite, for The Sketchbook Project, 2012, "Heroes and Villains."
Like Most Men my age, I grew Up in an Era where Comic Books where the daily digest in my town. In those days a graphic novel was a mere 25cents and you could buy 12 books for $3.00 I think thats about the average price of one magazine these days. LOL Anyway.....I Thrived on reading Marvel & DC Comics by the time I was 13 I had well over 2,500 or more. and I kept mine in the protective plastic bags and boxed according to hero or the group that they were in*
I even learned how to draw from reading these things and wanting to emulate what I saw everyday. Boy Stan Lee really had a major Impact on my childhood! Dark Knight/Detective Comics & The X-Men were always my favorite comics. And like most "Wolverine & Batman" were my fav. characters. It wasnt until much, much later on in life that these Superheroes were made into major motion picture Idols.
With the rise of technology and special effects Hollywood has been able to produce what I read for so many years on the silver screen. I think if I had to choose being one of these Superheroes in "real life" it would Most Def. have to be
"THE DARK KNIGHT"..........:))

Street portrait from Glasgow Comic Con 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland. Striking a great pose but I have no idea who the character is - I'm not well versed in comic book characters. There were some outstanding costumes and cosplay at the event with some fantastic attention to detail and character persona. Enjoy!
Made a comic book inspired series of photos. Here's a couple of examples.
Model was shot in the studio and location backgrounds were shot in London.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula
By R. A. Jones
Like word of the discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill in 1849 drew thousands of fortune hunters to California, news that a few rare comic books can be worth thousands of dollars prompted many to become comics collectors. Most will be disappointed, and then move on to other ventures.
Ventures such as trading cards. They are the hot ‘collectors’ item now. Capitalizing on the demand, many comic book stores also carry a wide variety of trading cards.
The next step in this melding of collectibles has now been taken. Topps – one of the major producers of trading cards for many years – recently decided to branch out and form its own comic book publishing arm.
The first fruit of their labor is now available. Entitled “Bram Stoker’s Dracula”, it is an adaptation of the motion picture playing in theaters now. Insiders have questioned the wisdom of starting a line off with such a title. Movie adaptations of recent vintage aren’t usually highly valued as collectibles – especially if the movie should flop.
Also, by the time all four issues of this mini-series can see print, the original will be well on its way to video stores. This likewise plays to the theory that people won’t be interested in reading a comic when it’s faster and better to see the actual movie.
Such considerations aside, this is an excellent comic book in terms of scripting, artwork, and overall production values. If nothing else, it proves that Topps can be expected to produce comics with the same high standards of quality that they employ in their trading cards.
It can be enjoyed as a supplement to the movie (and to the original novel), and comes highly recommended as such.
“Bram Stoker’s Dracula” costs $2.95 per issue, and is available in comic book specialty stores.
I'm starting a Sims comic. This is the first panel. The sim pictured here is actually a minor character and won't appear until like 1/3 of the way through the story, but I freakin' love him, so I made him the narrator.
