Edgar Rice Burrough’s Tarzan Wrangles A Python by Jun Bob Kim. Inked on 11″x17″ Bristol Board.

Although I never had the pleasure of reading any Tarzan comics, my father, a movie fan, exposed me to the black and white Tarzan movies. Working from the descriptions in the books and my imagination, I always thought Tarzan should appear more lean, sinewy & muscular. Here’s my first attempt at putting pencils & pen to drawing my version of Tarzan.

Michael San Giacomo’s Chalk Cover

Cover to Michael San Giacomo’s CHALK.
Penciled & Inkwashed on 11″x17″ Bristol Art Board. Digitally Colored.

Michael and I go way back to 2003, when he had originally pitched Chalk with me doing the art. The project did not find a publishing home at that time. After character design, a few sample pages & three covers, I had eventually moved on from the project. Since then Mike found a different penciler for the interior & pursued self-publishing. He plans to release the OGN this year & “brought the band back together” by asking me to do the covers.

If you “dig around” you should be able to find my original Chalk covers & pages. Good hunting! 🙂
