Q: What do you get when you mash-up Doctor Who + The Simpsons? A: The Daleksons
Untitled, 5.5"x8.5", Ink & watercolor pencils in Cachet "Earthbound" sketchbook.
This one started out as a random doodle, which then became the eyes of this Monster. Had lots of fun with this one. Makes me want to do more monsters off the cuff. The colors are Derwent Inktense Watersoluble Ink Pencils. They are insanely rich and saturated, like your mom. Almost a bit too much for me. I usually prefer more subdued colors in my work, but these are changing my mind. Color is too much fun.
Thanks for stopping by. – John

Woot! First drawing of 2012. I have never tried to draw a tattoo script font before. This seemed like a good way to do it. It was an eye opener. I need to practice A LOT more. Font needs to be smooooother…. but it was fun.
So yeah… going to make the rubber hit the road this year. My mantra is “Less talk.. more ROCK!”. I did a pretty good stretch last year with a doodle a day. Sadly only made it half the year. You can browse them in the Gallery section. This year I will focus again on just drawing, everything and anything. The sketchbook is the mother ship from which all flows. Words to live by.
Set sail with me bitches! on the dread pirate ship ‘Facebooks’!
Thanks for stopping by!

"The Stalemate" - wanting to paint vs what to paint.
I have been doing a lot of sketchbooking lately, and decided to put together a mini-sketchbook compilation. I call it “Attack of the Sketchbook!”. It is thirty six pages of the best of my sketchbooks from the first half of 2011. Several of the drawings were suggestions from fans on facebook.com/sumrow. The mini-sketchbooks are 4″ by 5″ and will come complete with a free Approved by the Comics Code sticker and a free refrigerator magnet while supplies last.
Attack of the Sketch Book! Zine!
As always the new print is now available in the shop! shop.johnsumrow.com The Attack of the sketchbook will be available at the Albuquerque Comic Expo June 24th – 26th and then online shortly after!
Hope to see you at the Albuquerque Comics Expo! Thanks for stopping by! And THANK YOU for supporting the arts! ~ John
So I mentioned Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s track “Fire” on Facebook and my buddy Marc challenged me to draw Rosa & O.D.B in space on a bus with wings. I try to do a Daily Doodle 365… so WHY NOT!! This is what I made. Hope you like it! Jump in on Facebook. Sometimes I take strange requests. Hint, hint. Hit me!

Kira approves of the new colors for the Buddha Bot shirts. She likes color. Hope you guys do to! These should be live in the shop in next few days. The color rundown: Lavender, Kiwi, Lake Blue, Light Denim, and Texas orange. All Anvil organic shirts, and all hand printed. I’m trying to decide which one is my fave. Which one is your’s?
Thanks for stopping by!

The creators of the Zombie Outlaw comic: Brian J. Apodaca and B. Paul Jordan, were kind enough to send me a copy of Issue no. 1 after we had met at the 2011 Albuquerque Comic Con. This is a little “Thank you” in the form of a little piece of fan art. Obviously I had some fun with the Zombie Outlaw and snuck in my own character Lenny the Mouse.
Zombie Outlaw Issue #1
The artwork is unique and has a great polish to it. Good luck to Brian and Paul! You guys have your undead hands full!
