Sketch Card of the Day- Captain Cold!

For a while, I'll be posting some older art from my archives. I really should get that work on the site and it will help for postings as I finish up a big comic project for Gradient Comics. 

Today's Sketch card is Captain Cold. Captain Cold made his first appearance in May of 1957. He is a DC villain and namely one of the Flash's. I had never heard of Captain Cold until Mattel made an action figure of him in the DC Classics collection. He was part of a big build-a-figure toy wave and when I saw him, I couldn't resist getting him in my collection. This sketch card is based on that action figure. 

You can also see this sketch card in my deviantart gallery here. 

I'm scheduled to be on the DELol show on Sunday July 21st to have a good old fashioned "Throw down in the toy isle" toy quiz compatition between Jeff and I. You need to tune in to the DELol show that Sunday. It will be fun!

I did buy a table for the Dallas Comic Con: Fan Days on October 4th-6th. If you are wanting a pre-Fan Days commission, let me know and I'll get it ready for pick up at that show. 

Issue 5 of Xenex the Bug Man is available on indyplanet.com! I have all Xenex the Bug Man comic books available for print on demand. You can see that listing here on my store's tab for comic books. 

I have posted some new shirt designs in my Cafepress store. Head over to my Cafepress store and get a shirt or a couple! 

Just to let you know all know, I am taking commissions. If you would like to commission me for original artwork, head over to the commissions tab in store to see how. 

If you have not heard about the Podcast called, "Talking Toys with Taylor and Jeff", then it's time I let you know! Jeff and I are on the show where we talk about toys! (Go figure, I mean Go action figure!) Seems simple enough. We pick out a toy line to discuss in each show. We share our childhood memories, our favorite five, and talk about the one toy in the line that got away. Jeff talks about how he cherished his toys and I talk about how they ended up in the garden! The other two shows are The pilot episode, where Jeff and Josh Taylor break down the Pilot Episode in TV series, and The Loosely Based Podcast where Brynna and Jeff compare the book to the movie adaptation! The shows are great! If you are interested in what we got, go to Marvindogmedia.com  and give us a listen. You can subscribe to the shows on itunes and get up to date info on upcoming shows on facebook:

Taylor's Toy Tuesday's DIY Custom- The Flash Pony!!

Flash Pony by Taylor Lymbery

My first real introduction to The Flash was through static on my television screen back in 1990. I would struggle to get the show to come through the rabbit ears to see the excitement of John Wesley Shipp playing Barry Allen, the fastest man alive! The show is very silly at times, but It was always worth sitting through the snow. I've always liked the look of The Flash's costume and like the idea of the Flash's super powers. I have read only a handful of stories that both Barry Allen (Flash I) and Wally West (Flash II) have appeared in. The last story was the Blackest Night series. Before that, it was JLA. Neither one are probably great examples of who The Flash is in his world. Honestly, I really should find some decent stories that feature him. So, needless to say, my knowledge of The Flash is really based on the T.V. series. 

When I was making this pony, I had a debate with myself about whether this pony should have a tail or not. I like the idea of Flash pony wanting to streamline his costume in order to be that much faster, but he is a pony, and I couldn't have him without his tail. In the end, I made a compromise. The Flash Pony would tie up his tail into a bob. That way, the tail would not cause drag by loosely hanging behind him. When I did this, I wasn't sure if anyone would get the idea without me having to give background. At the last convention, I found a couple of people who got it without any explanation. I like them. They get me. Now, I've got some important updates, so more pictures will be at the end of this posting. Enjoy the pics. I've got to get back to illustrating comic books! :)

All throughout the month of Movember, I'll be growing a mustache to raise awareness of prostate cancer and I'll be taking donations for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. Do you want to donate?! Head on over to my Movember page to see photos of me struggling to make a blonde mustache show and to donate!
