Ross Campbell: Kind of a big deal

Monday, October 1st, 2007

Attention: These items were originally described as prints when in fact many of them are originals.  Prices and lots have been adjusted accordingly.

Ross Campbell is one of those artists whose work I’ve been gaping at for years–first, when he started illustrating for WhiteWolf games, and later as he brought his exquisite painted figure work to comics–Hopeless Savages, Wet Moon, and his upcoming Minx book, Water Baby. He draws some of the most interesting, sexiest, strongest, and most all-around-awesome women I’ve ever seen, and the scope of his work–from superheroes, to college students, to monsters–never ceases to impress me: I won’t be the least bit surprised if someday he’s generally accepted as one of the modern masters of dynamic pin-up art. If you haven’t checked out his art before, now is a great chance, as Ross has given us a small army’s worth of both original pieces and prints.

The following are pieces of Ross Cambell original art:

From Wet Moon:

Cleo

From The Abandoned:

From X-Men:

The starting bid for each of these original pieces will be U.S. $30.

Wet Moon Set 1: Cleo and Mara

Wet Moon Set 2: Cleo and Audrey

Wet Moon Set 3: Audrey and Fall

Wet Moon Set 4: Mara and Natalie

Mixed Set: Mara (Wet Moon) and Rylie (The Abandoned)

The starting bid for each set of two prints will be U.S. $10.

You’ll be able to bid on these and other items in the Girl-Wonder Art Et Cetera Auction, from October 7-14, 2007.

Ally Is Awesome

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

If you don’t read Sorcery 101, by Kel McDonald, you should probably start. First of all, it’s a cool, really original story. Second, the art’s pretty sweet. Third, Kel herself is a snarky, irreverent, and generally marvelous person who deserves to be all sorts of successful. And fourth, if you read Sorcery 101, you’d know that Ally, a demon hunter, mom, and general-purpose Person To Be Reckoned With is every bit as awesome as she looks (and I’m not just saying that ’cause she sports a Girl-Wonder t-shirt).

This is an original 11″x17″ pin-up drawing of Ally, signed by artist Kel McDonald:

The starting bid for this item will be U.S. $28.

Remember: Auction dates are October 7-14, 2007!

Goggles and a Grin

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

I’ve never read Zap!, but if this marker drawing by artist Pascalle is any indication, I’d better start. From what I gather, Kasey the Stickle is a sort of super-mechanic; with the goggles, gloves, and grin, I’m certainly willing to believe that she can do damn near anything.

The starting bid for this item will be U.S. $22.

Art Auction dates are October 7-14, 2007.

Girl-Wonder Pride

Friday, September 28th, 2007

Know what’s awesome?
Pride High. It’s got characters of all genders, colors, cultures, and abilities. It’s won awards from PFLAG. And it’s the kind of good super-powered teen drama I haven’t seen since the original New Mutants.

Know what’s even awesomer?
Two of Pride High‘s signature characters, Scotch and Suravi, showing their love for some of the best girl-geekery on the world wide web!

This is a pencil drawing originally comissioned by Pride High writer Tommy Roddy; it will appear in color as a full-page ad in an upcoming issue of Pride High and shows Scotch and Suravi in t-shirts advertising, respectively, girl-wonder.org and mynerdgirl.com.

The starting bid for this item will be U.S. $25.

You’ll be able to bid on this and other items in Girl-Wonder’s Art Et Cetera Auction, from October 7-14, 2007!

Jack and Jim

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

If you know me at all, you know that Jimm Rugg’s Street Angel is pretty much my favorite comic ever. So, imagine how excited I was when I saw these: Jim’s inks over Jack Kirby pencils (or at least printouts of Jack Kirby pencils) of Wonder Woman!
Both pieces are on 11×17 bristol. They’re from Kirby’s proposal for a Wonder Woman animated series, scanned from Kirby Collector #38, and inked by Street Angel and PLAIN Janes artist Jim Rugg:

The starting bid for each of these drawings will be U.S. $28. And I will be bidding against you ALL THE WAY.

Gwog!

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

Who’s the tiny, glowering defender of good comics? If you answered “Betty,” you’d be right, but I’m talking about GWOG, the eponymous club-wielding mascot of the Girl-Wonder.org blog. GWOG’s fierce visage was created by Katie Moody, whose design won over some very stiff competition, and who has donated both her original sketches–including another unused design for the character–and the final GWOG line art:

The starting bid for this set of items will be U.S. $12.

Nobody Does It Like Dean

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

If you’ve been around Girl-Wonder for long–or if you have any truck with the online community of comics artists–then you’re probably familiar with Dean Trippe. In addition to starting the now-famous Batgirl and Supergirl redesign memes (and, most recently, the Stephanie Brown redesign meme!), Dean is a founding member of Project Rooftop, draws and writes the awesome webcomic Butterfly, and makes some of the best superhero–especially female superhero–art you’ll see. This original drawing, one of Dean’s contributions to his Stephanie Brown / Robin redesign meme, is no exception:

The starting bid for this item will be U.S. $35.

Best of Collection

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

We all know how awesome Mary Borsellino is–after all, she’s the reason this site exists in the first place, so it’s not like she needed even more good karma. However, she’s dug into her private collection and donated some phenomenal pieces for the art auction:

This page is from Detective Comics #793. Drawn by Pete Woods, it’s from the “War Drums” storyline, which culminated in Stephanie Brown becoming Robin. On this page, bandits attack Alfred Pennyworth and Dr. Leslie Thompkins as twelve-year-old Bruce Wayne watches:

The starting bid for this page will be U.S. $48.

This page is from Batgirl #52 and shows the Girl Wonder herself–Stephanie Brown as Robin–watching with Batgirl as a criminal walks his daughter to school. It features pencils by Rick Leonardi and inks by Jesse Delperdang:
