Welcome to CJ Edwards Art!
Hello, fellow comic book, toy, and cartoon fans!
Welcome to the CJ Edwards Art blog - where you will find insights about my work, enjoy art collections, and thrill to the trials and tribulations of an over imaginative mind!
Here you will find art in all forms - including mash-ups where existing worlds will collide into exciting new adventures, videos of my work from sketch to finished product, works in progress, flashbacks to my work from He-Man.org (where I have been a long-time poster), sketchbook selections, and collaborative work with other talented artists and creators, like the Defenders of Eden property from Ideas From Mars founder Matthew Rodriguez.
You will also get exclusive first looks at my own creative project - the Infinity Knights comic book!
Feel free to wander through my art galleries here at CJ Edwards Art and check out my featured posts for an introduction to my art style and personal favorite properties. Visiting the respective Galleries will showcase different thematic pieces, and by clicking on each piece, you can then be redirected to my DeviantArt for larger views as well as the ability to purchase select art and merchandise!
As for myself, I am a self-taught artist from a cartoon/comic book background. I grew up using just plain old mechanical pencils and notebook paper, and then graduated to Sharpie and Prismacolor markers for most of my art. Recently, I have lept head first into the digital arena; I use an Apple iPad with the ProCreate app.
I'm obsessed with burgers and beers, as well as with comic book characters and 80's cartoon/toy lines - Marvel/DC, Masters of the Universe, GI Joe, Transformers, Star Wars, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Thundercats - if it has an awesome theme song and a great toy line, I'm there!
I have done multiple small jobs in advertising design, graphic art, comic books, commissions, and charity art work, as well as helped design some action figure concepts!
My passion is comic book art and toy design, and my site will feature all kinds of art from these backgrounds, as well as a few surprises!
By the way, the bear you see running around? That's me! I've always been nicknamed CJ Bear by my folks, and the name stuck. So, don't be surprised if you see this dude show up from time to time!
Feel free to look around, and let your imagination run wild!
Cheers!
