If I wasn’t already pumped for a new Evil Dead movie to come out, particularly one that doesn’t suck, imagine how extra pumped I was to have been asked to design an Evil Dead tribute poster during the same opening week. Ash/Bruce Campbell is quite an interesting fellow to draw, and I would happily draw him again. Hopefully someone out there wants a sweet Brisco County Jr. poster next :)
You can get prints of this bad boy here: http://www.strangekidsclub.com/2013/05/03/hail-to-the-king-baby-our-evil-dead-2-print-is-now-on-sale/
A few months back while keeping a daily sketchbook with me I decided to do a rendition of Brad Pitt from Inglorious Basterds, making sure to exaggerate his scowl.
Following my previous Umbrella Academy related post, I did yet another character; Spaceboy.
After great apprehension to do so, I broke and ended up buying a jumbo (12”x17”-ish) Moleskine sketchbook. The size is truly fantastic and really allows your hand and arm to move freely about the page without any worry of constraint. In order to get this bad boy started, I chose to do an illustration of The White Violin from Umbrella Academy by Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba. If you haven’t done so yet, read that comic now… like, right now.
It took me a while to get around to reading it myself actually. Since it came out in the years of my college education, I didn’t allow myself the opportunity of reading it then, although I’m sure it would’ve helped inspire me and my studies in some way, especially considering it was art school. Looking back on it, I didn’t even have good excuse; even the library next door to my house had a copy. In the end, I bought one for myself to enjoy at my own leisure in the comfort of my own home, and man did I enjoy it. So in short, I recommend everyone give it a chance, or at least check it out several times from your library so that it at least makes you feel guilty for not reading it.
On another note:
I initially acquired this massive sketchbook in order to travel with it, but I had not anticipated its scale to that of my backpack. So I’m not quite sure how transportable it will ultimately be, but I plan on taking it for a spin with me to California this Friday for some good old life drawing exercises. If all goes well, I will return home with a more complete and hopefully intact sketchbook. Otherwise this White Violin sketch might be the one and only drawing attributed to this new sketchbook’s name (Heraldo?) that sees the light of day
Enjoy this piece at least and with fingers crossed let’s hope there’s more to come!

While drawing a few Marvel characters I thought that I’d tackle two of my favorite female characters; Sue Richards and Jean Grey. I love their more vintage look and wanted to represent that in a more modern theme.
So, not that either of these characters are related in any way other than the fact they’re both Marvel properties, but I’m posting them together because they were gifts for my brother, who I just visited this weekend. Knowing he was/is a huge comic book fan, I wanted to give him some personalized art as a much belated Christmas present. By his request, the characters he wanted were Dr. Doom and Scarlet Witch (having just failed to win the lottery on repeated attempts). They were a ton of fun to do and I always love doing commissions for people, so I wanted to share them. Hope you like them!
Inspired by the recent events in the X-Men and Spider-man universe, I decided to sketch a few of the leading ladies from both. I hope to do a new batch just for fun in during the coming week or so. I’d love to hear what characters anyone wants to see me tackle, so please send in your ideas!
Since doing the triptic group of X-Men character sketches, I decided to do another, but this time of Batman related characters; Batman, Robin, and Batgirl. This was inspired by the most recent New 52 series that DC released last year, which has continued to be stellar. Maybe someday I’ll get to work on Batman, for real :(
A little guy I’ve titled “Skull Kid”, which I did for fun last night. Feel free to come up with some fan fiction - I’d love to read what sort of stories this character inspires :)
Two quick character sketches I did in the past two days just for fun. I usually try to do a sketch at night before going to bed - maybe 15-30 minutes each.
A quick character sketch I did a few nights ago before going to bed. Just wanted to do something for fun.
Months ago I had begun working on a short 12 page comic with my friend and writer Austin Wilson (austinRwilson.tumblr.com) for an anthology piece inspired by “Metal”. That project ended up falling through along with the already illustrated pages. I wasn’t sure what was going to come of the project, so I had not touched the pages since. Recently however, I’ve decided to finish the comic and have begun adding color. I plan to sell it as a mini and use it as a fun promotional piece for various cons. Here is a preview from a full colored page in the story.

I was honored to have made a pin-up piece for the upcoming run of Image comics’ Luther Strode series by the great team of Tradd Moore and Justin Jordan. This is a new character, thus I decided to stay relatively true to her design for now at least. I can safely say the book is looking phenomenal! Definitely keep an eye out if you’re interested in great art and a great story!
I am contributing two original pieces for a gallery show coming up in December that is entirely devoted to the concept of “The End”. We were welcome to do anything revolving around the concept, including the positive aspects, such as the end of war, the end of a bad relationship, or the end of a journey. But of course, as things go, I decided to once again go the darker route and chose to show an anguished end - a girl whose decided to commit suicide on her wedding night. I thought the idea behind despair is always more interesting and illusive than a joyful conclusion, which usually has a very clear message. This image allows for reflection on ones self. I didn’t necessarily want to go the end of the world route, since that is so overdone at this point, thought in a literal sense, this kind of outcome is technically “The End” since it ultimately eliminated her life, which is the only world she knows. And ultimately, the end of the world comes with ones own death.

PS: I included the black and white line drawing as well since I thought it was interesting and would give an insight to my stages when working.
This is a group of selected sketches that I’ve done over the past few weeks. I’ve tried to keep fresh ideas flowing by drawing in my sketchbook as consistently as I can - hopefully several times a week. None of these are for a specific project and were just used as fun warm-up sketches. I hope you all enjoy them! I’ll have a new batch to come as soon as I can.
Also, I’ve recently got my personal website redesigned and reposted, so please check it out here - www.loganfaerber.com - and if you’re interested in more sketches like the one’s I’ve posted here, please follow me on twitter @loganfaerber
Thanks everyone! - Logan
