My Korn Fan Art from 1998

calvingilbertman — Thu, 25 Aug 2016 23:49:55 +0000

I was obsessed with Korn in high school. First step is admitting the problem, right? When Follow the Leader came out in the summer of 1998, i picked up my pre-order. Yes, I pre-ordered it.

I was obsessed with album. My first in-class art project was drawing the album cover using pen and ink.

The sky didn’t turn out the way I planned, but I really can’t change that detail 18 years later.

Pitt & Ripclaw Comic Book Ink on Paper Illustration

calvingilbertman — Tue, 26 Jan 2016 00:34:15 +0000

Like the Union comic book I mentioned earlier, I did not own any comics with Pitt or Ripclaw. The majority of my comic books as a child came from a local convenience store that carried primarily Marvel comics. Based on the style and my signature, this was illustrated in 1996 when I was in 8th grade.

I’m not certain which comic book this came from, because he made some cameos in other Image comic books in the 90s,

I used textured white paper and a black and red fine point sharpie.
