The Art of Mike Schwartz

Just passed the $6,000 mark yesterday!  Still, there are seven days left to pledge.  Pledge and get a book (at least). Progress on the book is nearing the finish line.  I am actively inking the new art pages.  I hope to post some completed art soon.  Also, the cover is just about there.  It’s looking [...]

Here’s hoping that the Oceanverse Kickstarter campaign crosses the 200% funded line today.  There’s still 19 days to go, so if you haven’t pledged and would like a copy of the book, please consider donating.

As you may know, I have spent the last four years working on my comic strip Oceanverse.  Now, finally, it is ready to be compiled into a collected edition book. Currently, I am attempting to obtain your support through Kickstarter.com, a popular way for artists, writers, etc. to fund their projects.  Kickstarter was covered in [...]

Here is artwork for an upcoming episode of The Ink Panthers Show.

I got the Kamandi Omnibus for Christmas!  I’ve always wanted to read that wacky thing.  Now, I will.  Not yet, but soon. Less than a week before Kickstarter!  Can’t wait. Finished Avatar: The Last Airbender, Book Two.  Incredible stuff.  If people didn’t think this was a “kid’s show,” it would rank among the greats.
