Art Created for my Comic Shop

Long story short, I purchased the comic shop I had frequented since I was about 16, in 2001. I sold it in 2007 to finish nursing school. Here is some art I created while I owned the shop.

 Here's the Logo. In my other postings I left the images full size, I don't see any need for that here, so I'm just making 'em fit the space.

 

The same Logo, but with the WWW. and .COM added.

Another web logo utilizing art adopted from web images.

 An ad I compiled for Pizza Box toppers. Not one single person came in and used one of these coupons, not even my regular customers.


A flyer I created advertising the shop and my comic art classes. I had a pretty good crowd at the original 1800 sq ft location, but once I moved to a smaller 900 sq ft, due to escalating rent and lackluster sales, I no longer had room for teaching. The character here was not created specifically for this ad, but I guess I though it was cool enough.

Another ad I compiled. I created this Spider-Man based upon the classic John Romita pose. I see a lot of imperfections in hindsight.

 And one final set of black and white coupons for various uses. Artwork compiled from various artists on the web.

A flyer I created advertising a store appearance by main influence, Josef Rubinstein. Compiled from his art. This was held on a Wednesday which is when new comics typically ship. I had hoped for a rather large crowd, but unfortunately there were actually fewer than a normal "new comic" day.
