Winner Winner

WE HAVE A WINNER!
With huge thanks to everyone who sent in a sketch, illustration, 3-D model, lego construction, dioramas, and more….I wanted to announce that we have a big winner for our “Draw a Ship, Win a Ship” contest: Stuart Ferguson’s 3-D model and print of The Machito!
I was super impressed with the styling choices he made for his Machito…especially on the top of the ship, where the main body meets the ring. Just looks super cool.
And to EVERYONE ELSE who entered: Good news! I was so blown away by everyone’s entries, I’ve decided you’re ALL getting the second-place prize of a signed character sketch.

So! Entrants! Send me your mailing address and preferred character, and they’ll be winging their way to you!

This is Awesome

This is kinda the best thing ever.

Sheldon reader Nate had to dress “as his favorite character” for a “Read Across America” event — and he went as Sheldon. He even brought Arthur, which is doubly rad.

Nate, you win all the high-fives, today. All the high-fives.

Drive Original Art: Vinn Nosh

February 23, 2015

For those of you who love original art, here’s a neat one: I’ve put a piece of DRIVE original art up on eBay! DRIVE strips are drawn digitally, so original art that you can frame and hang doesn’t come along often.

And this is a particularly cool one: This was the *only* concept drawing of the Vinn-infected Nosh that was brought to inks. There is but one in the world, alas!

The piece is drawn in lightfast, archival inks on acid-free, Bristol stock. The cardstock itself measures 12″w x 9″h, while the drawn image is roughly 6.5″w x 5″h. And you’ll notice that, unlike the final strip version in the strip, this concept drawing has no shirt. So it’s kind of Nosh-as-a-an-Abercrombie&Fitch model, I suppose.

I’ve started it at one penny, as I’d rather have you all decide what it’s worth: And it ships FREE anywhere in the U.S. There are no corrections or mistakes on the piece, so it should frame up really nicely.

And to the lucky DRIVE reader who snags it, I’m happy to personalize the inscription.
