Strange Tales #3 + IGN Review
Saturday, Nov 7, 2009 8:42PM / Members only
I just picked up a few copies of Marvel's Strange Tales MAX #3 of which I did four pages for.
Cover by Stan Sakai of Usagi Yojimbo fame.
My interior pages.
It's pretty cool to see it in print, I'm very honoured to be alongside these other great artists!
There is also a cool review on IGN for this issue. Here is an excerpt:
"...this issue offers up some art that I would be happy to see on the interior of Marvel's mainstream titles. Jonathan Jay Lee turns in a fantastic rendition of Punisher done up in an energetic and colorful manga style. That's right - a manga Punisher. I'm going to make a point of insisting right now that Marvel throw something more substantial Lee's way."
This is too cool for words. I'm psyched that the review likes my stuff and all I can say is:
Kick.
Ass.

Marvel Characters

This isn't for anything in particular, just an exercise to draw some Marvel Characters!The Silver Surfer. What an amazing concept for a character. I don't think this is how he is conventionally represented in the comics but it's a nice challenge to interpret him my way.
Wolverine. Fighting 'The Hand' ninjas. Wolverine is such a badass.
Just for fun! Drawing makes the world go around.

Under the Table with Angie Wong
Wednesday, Oct 28, 2009 6:03PM / Members only
I just completed my contract with Time Out HK for the UTT articles written by Angie Wong, having illustrated 30 issues of 'Under the Table' with them. It's been a nice run, here below are a few of my favorites:An article about One Child Policy, and how this fat, rich, 10 year old kid hitting on Angie on a yacht.
Lionel Richie giving Angie life advice at a restaurant in NYC.
Banker Wanker
Something about being a 50's housewife.
Article about stock options. And how men view women in the same manner.
It's the company you keep that make the best meals ever, not the food.
Angie goes to Mexico.
Something about Sharks Fin and Fatty Tuna going extinct.
An online conversation with some creep. (I like the intimacy in this one)
Lesbian Kiss!
Angie eats North Korean cuisine.
Dysfunctional Family. Fun to change up the style a bit here. A cartoon family.
Singapore's got the 'Sling', searching for HK's own signature drink.
Getting drunk txt msgs. omg rofl
These quarter page illo's aren't completed to the same degree as my other work, but the key to working in a limited budget is to get them done fast! I think over the course of the 30 issues I did with them, I got faster and faster with each one. The last one above only took me an hour to create the finish (after sketch stage). It's a nice exercise, working to a concept and then getting straight to the point in the illustration.
I've thoroughly enjoyed the process, and thank you to TOHK for the opportunity! -

SCMP Classified Post Campaign
Saturday, Oct 17, 2009 4:05PM / Members only
I did a few illustrations for South China Morning Post's Classified Post. It's a campaign to 'Unleash your career Superhero!' Used variously as print ads, eDM's and such. Sign up at classifiedpost.com !!!
Also, thanks to everyone who came last night to No Borders gallery! It's a cool little gallery with some amazing artists involved. Dorophy had her newly designed lomography cameras there too. She was busy signing away the ones she sold. Haha!
Can you see the Dalek paintings in the background??
