So folks who've been watching me for a while have probably noticed that for the last 3 years or so, I've pretty much only been posting recreation work rather than my own original comics or illustrations. Every so often I feel like I should be doing more 'original' work in my own style, like a comic or even more book illustrations. However, I've been kind of depressed and/or anxious for a lot of the last year or so - mostly for fairly obvious reasons (insert various pictures of 2020/21 here), and an assortment of pretty basic personal anxieties. Doing original work takes a heck of a lot of energy and enthusiasm that I just haven't had for a while, doing compositions, layouts, etc. really takes a lot out of me. Yet, I still feel soothed by the act of inking - it's a great anxiety relief - so I keep myself busy doing recreations. Luckily enough I've had a steady client wait list for 3 years running, so I've always got something to work on. It's also a good way to have steady funds

ETA:  My commission list is now closed - I'm going to be focusing on new comics and personal recreation pieces for a while. Now that I've completed both of my last two big illustration assignments, I've decided I'm going to spend the next few months doing cover recreations only...and then pick up some more book illustration assignments in late Fall.If you are interested in a classic cover recreation (silver/bronze age - not really a fan of doing recreations where there's a lot of computer color & typesetting), here is what I'm asking:11x17" cover recreation ($100 each) -  all logos, trade dress/etc hand-drawn on Strathmore 300 series brist...

Between 10-15 years ago, I used to draw comic page commissions where I would offer to illustrate a page of script by the commissioner.  The idea was that this would set me apart from all of the artists doing mostly pinup work, and it also sounded like a fun project.  It *was* pretty fun for a while, although the kind of jobs that would come my way quickly transitioned (so to speak) into mostly fetish or transformation pieces. I was OK with this for a while, and did them for a couple of years.  I felt an ego boost from having folks enjoy my work and be willing to pay for it, but eventually wasn't real happy with the subject matter and cease...

I'm starting a fanmade revival of the short lived show, Cartoon Sushi from MTV. Let me know what animated shorts you would like to see in an episode.https://archive.org/details/@dydee_soule

Happy birthday 🎂 🎉 🎈

Added to my watch simply because of the magnificent works within! I am also a lifetime comic book fan, although those would be British comics, with emphasis on 2000A.D. (featuring Judge Dredd).

I loved the 2000 AD reprints we got here in the 1980s in the states via Eagle Comics.

I've got most of the editions for all of the major characters - a complete collection of Judge Dredd, all of the seventies and eighties compilations. At one point I was commissioned to draw the weapons and equipment from Judge Dredd, but the contract fell through before they could pay me - and that art now resides in my gallery under 2000A.D.

Thanks for liking our comment! We hope you’ll enjoy what else we have to offer!! And keep up your own awesome, creative endeavors!
