My 3rd annual Mauro Balcazar Halloween story!

Here's my Annual Halloween story. it's a little poem i did for Halloween and not to be taken seriously but hopefully a little macabre! I wish I had time to polish this up but we lost our internet during the snow storm we had, spoooooooky. enjoy!

Never Give Up, Never Surrender Damn it!

This is a fun one i drew the other night. It is for a submission to the great blog "planet pulp! (http://www.planet-pulp.com/). Check it out for awesome pop culture art from around the globe! This is for a Stan Winston inspired run and I couldn't think of a more fun one to draw than Galaxy quest!

I tried to capture all the best personalities of the characters that I remembered. They were all so great in this film, and I just laughed drawing these guys at their worst? lol i hope you guys like it!

I hate zombies

Halloween so close you can smell it!!

The only thing that scares me are zombies. nothing fancy, but they terrify me. I have told all my friends that should they turn into a zombie, I would end them in seconds. LOL, here's a quick little drawing of one these little bastards in the digital flesh.
they always have the weird stare. yikes!

Beware...The Gray Ghost!!! Batman Animated

I drew this a while ago, always loved the Batman Animated Series growing up. One episode in particular comes to mind, where Batman meets one of his childhood idols, the Gray Ghost. In a scene, the camera pans to his collection of memorabilia and you can see a poster of "The Gray Ghost" on the wall.

I loved the idea of Batman having his own nerdy collection of the Gray ghost, someone he admired in his childhood, inside the batcave. It's only seen for i think 2 seconds, but it was very well done in the animation and I thought it would be neat to have as a print to give Mr Conroy as a present. Im going to bring some to NYCC and hopefully get Kevin Conroy sign it for me. Hope you all like it.

* done in digital watercolors to give it that animated style painted look. :-)


EDIT*

Happy to report I was able to give one of these prints to Kevin Conroy to keep at a panel at the NYCC. I was so glad he mentioned the character earlier in the panel, and he seemed surprised to see the drawing after the panel of the gray ghost. really really nice guy. I was happy so much fun and I was able to get my personal copy signed.

It's ShowTime!!!...Beetlejuice Poster!!!

Tada.....

lol, Here is my latest "maurolyzed" (see, i made that word totally up) style poster for the Tim Burton Film, Beetlejuice. I borrowed elements very much in the vein of my last Dragon style poster. I recently re-watched this film on blu ray and loved the memories i had as a kid watching this. I wanted to try my hand at a new edgy poster for it, and here she is.

I really wanted to capture my favorite moments and characters from the film and hope i did it justice. For those asking, I spelled the name like that on purposed since that's how it was spelled in the film. Remember, don't say his name!!!

*in the film, it was misspelled on purpose i think, so you couldn't really pronounce his real name correctly. GENIUS!!

Want it on a shirt or a sticker?? check it out here :-) thanks!!

coming soon..real soon :-)

Ancient Awakening DIsplay Ad for New York Comic Con

I've been meaning to upload this for a few weeks but haven't had the chance.
Here's the new piece of art I was commissioned for use as a Nice large display banner? not sure what it's called. hehe, this was fun to do for my friend Matthew series of books "Ancient Awakening". He's on book 3 so i suspect there will be plenty more things for me to draw soon. (looks at wallet) lol. Enjoy the banner folks!

Agliarept, Part Time Ghost Hunter,, Full Time Teen

Hi,

Got excited over at www.redbubble.com when they announced their New York Comic Con contest this year. Seems there looking for a cool superhero concept and luckily I've been working on mine for some time now. This would be as good as any time to show it off in a nice laid out comic panel approach. Here's my submission:

Agliarept in: How to fight the dead!

Living your life as a teenage boy trapped in an ancient alchemist's armor can be tough. One minute your on death's bed suffering from a rare disease and the next you wake up in the 21st century inside some archaic robot contraption. Life's funny that way ain't it?

Together with his new friend Francis, a haunting spirit who's been trapped inside a lab for 100 years, Sam, who's father use to work in said lab, chase and capture evil spirits who just so happen to want Agy's nifty suit and will stop at nothing to get it.

on this submission I thought it be good to provide some tips on what you'd need when approaching and fighting the dead..although somethings are easier said then done :-).

This is a comic i am writing as a short story novel with pictures? It's a dark comedy as our hero doesn't really want his new gig and has a tough time coming to terms with his new body and powers.
