See Jamar at New York Comicon 10/13-10/16

Swing by the COMIC BOOK DINER booth #2933 and meet Jamar this weekend - from Friday to Sunday. Mention the blog! Get a sketch! Buy something!

Free Your Mind: KARNEELEUS

I found this WAYYYYYYYYYY back in the vault, by my new/old pal, Karneeleus, a very cool expressionist artist. I've been checking out some of his painting on his site, and I dig -- lots of energy, emotion and things that need to be said.

I have one more BBWW that he sent that I'll post later on - I want to spread the wealth! But check this out and love on it.

After that - go check out more of his work. I'll post more of his BBWW's soon!

Thanks man!

To Tell the Truth: GERSON WITTE

The Boys from Brazil are back!
I'm trying something different during this phase of the moon and scheduling BBWW Blog posts ahead of time so that you have something fresh to look at every day until I run out of BBWW stock, which I hope NEVER happens, but I do have a lot of submissions that go back a year - sorry out there, but it's in a good place--trust!

It's really good to see my Brazilian cartoonist friend Gerson Witte who returns with another great piece, with a BBWW that doesn't look like the last ones - one of my favorite thing about this project is when great repeaters like Gerson, or Mike Manley, or my pal Rick DBA ARKONBEY piles on this art, each one is in a different style than the last. Also, a new Label - "Rope Tricks" - signifying BBWW's that art prominently showcasing their magic lassos. One of these days I'll go back and fix old posts where there's that going on.

Really enjoy this look, and love the cartooning involved. Go visit Gerson's site on the world wide web - and I do mean WORLD, when you're sending in art from Brazil!

Bound to Happen: ARIE MONROE

As a person gifted with sight, it's hard for me to not pay attention to great cartoonists plying their trade on the internet. I don't spend hours online looking for art but when I run across something I like, I make a note of it and try to return to it later.

I noticed the hustle of Arie Monroe a few years ago and thought that if I ever got the chance, I'd ask her to submit a BBWW because I love her style and thought she'd be a good sport about it. Come to find out that she did one on her own without me asking! (or did I ask and forget? Could be - I'm getting old...) But here is a great cartoon of a BBWW who's in a bit of a pickle.

Arie is a great animator and cartoonist, and you should go park your face on her blog and check out her work - she's always drawing and that's one of the greatest treats there is to behold.

Thanks Arie!

I, Wonder: BRIAN WIMBERLY

My new pal Brian Wimberly sent in this great illustration of his idea of a BBWW, with a nod to the characters' history: Is this what the future holds?

I think that'd really shake stuff up, but who are we kidding - I'll settle in on the great art submissions like this one and send you merrily on your way to Brian's blog, where you can see more of his cool cartooning.

Test of Strength: RACHEL ANN MILLAR

From the vault, is a great submission from a new pal of mine, Rachel Ann Millar, who paired up a great take on BBWW having an armwrestling contest against her own character, XLarge Gal!

I'm loving what Rachel is doing with her color blending - great cartooning style. See more of her vibrant work on her blog, or even more of her stuff here.

Thanks - hope she sends me more stuff! I can't get enough of this.

Hey Sailor: CHICO FELIX

WE ROLLIN'!

My new good friend Chico Felix, all the way from my favorite place, Brazil, dropped this off to me some time ago and I'm finally putting this up - a great black/white style which really puts me in the frame of reference of a Peter Bagge with a touch of Crumb put in for good measure.

I haven't had a lot of BBWW submissions lately that suggest the amazon in a surly light, but I have to say I really dig the sailor tat and disposition which gives off a different type of self-awareness? It's still there and powerful. That's really saying something. I love Chico's line, and the callout on the blue tattoo speaks out as well!

Check out Chico's online home and say hello! Thanks man!
