I’m a comic book artist. And a hockey fan. But don’t hold that against me.

My blog lives here: http://www.jasoncopland.com

What’s wrong with being a hockey fan? Me too! (But my team’s the Flyers, so you probably hate me. :D)

Kat Cahill says:

Thanks, Jason! I hope that you enjoy the finished product!

Jason Copland said:

Alex Sheikman says:

Thank you!

Jason Copland said:

LOVE the new 24 hour comic picture, Alex!

Alex Sheikman says:

Jason, Great Perhapanauts pin-up!

Alex Sheikman says:

Jason! I remember you talking about this site a long time ago…I guess I am starting to catch-up to you :)

Jason Copland said:

Alex! Nice to see you, sir!

Leif Jones says:

Jason! You’re everywhere, man – I can’t get away from you!

Daniel says:

Wow the stuff on your blog looks great. What are your inking tools of choice? I’m tired of using Microns. Any suggestions? And it’s good to see another hockey fan too. Cheers

MD says: Hey man, what can I say. I like staring at drawings. It mystifies me. In theory, it's just excelled coordination of the hand, yet no matter how much I practice, I can't swing it. It's like going to Cirque de Soleil and thinking "With enough yoga, I could do that" and then finding out no, no you can't.

In summary: u draw gud.
Dan says: ...so, he's new to me, but I'll be keeping an eye out, and ordering more of his stuff.
Dan says: Well, I just ordered Tiempos Finales from him, and loved it. He also runs the Fist-A-Cuffs thing, which is just brilliant.
Jason Copland says: I'm slightly familiar with Sam's work. Friend and colleague Michael May has introduced me to Sam a few times, but I've never had a chance to sit down and look at his stuff. Michael had a pretty cool sketch from Sam, though. What are some titles that Sam's worked on?
Dan says: Jason, good list! (Although I'm not terribly familiar with Ashley Wood, I like a lot of what I've seen - with the exception of Tank Girl, which was just a little too jarring on the eyes.) I recently stumbled on Sam Hiti - are you familiar with him?
Jason Copland says: I tend to follow artists who have more of an "art" look to their work. Guy Davis, Paul Pope, Ashley Wood, Bill Sienkiewicz, Walt Simonson are all artists that put out work that I will buy, no questions asked. I tend to stay away from most superhero titles, so my knowledge of many of those book's artists is pretty nonexistent.
Todd Michael R. says: You've thought correctly, so who do you gravitate towards when it comes to artists?
Jason Copland says: Thanks, Todd.... I think... ;)
Todd Michael R. says: Hey, took a gander at your blog.. kiiinda diggin' your stuff. I mean "kinda" as in like, a platonically flirty type way... not in a maybe-ish sort of way.

Free Art.....?
