Good morning Crusaders!
As you can see, I’m wracking my brain as to what I should write for my column. I was hoping to do a look back, but think that might have been over done these past few weeks. I finally found the reference I’ve been looking for in my attempt to get a real good Sgt. Rock down. Most of yesterday was spent doing that and more sketches. But I believe I’m going with image #3 today. The reference I’m using is of a Dough Boy Statue up in Rhinebeck, NY I took way back in 1990. Since it’s on film I (and not digital) the pic might not be so great. I used the statue for the “Through the Ashes” cover and also for my Captain America Battlebook cover. I just love the movement (contraposto!) and power the statue emits. I tracked down a Mr. Coon in Rhinebeck who was responsible for moving the statue from the side of a building (and obscurity) to the center of the town park. He’s sending me more digital photos of the image as well, very nice man indeed. Okay, so let me figure out just what to write for my article and get down to drawing.

I’m not sure if I did this right, but I don’t see the bloody statue image. If you’d like, check out the Sgt. Rock thread in the Crusade Fine Arts projects folder.

I also want to give a warm welcome to Delvie for graciously coming onboard to help with the website and keep it fresh and up to date! Thank you sire and please let me know a good time to call because I have some ideas for the website.

I’m also doing some pages for the Tick’s 20th Anniversary special! I’ll post them when I’m done.
Tally Ho!
