Thanks guys! Esp Minty, your film was awesome and I've always loved Greg Staples' art before I read Dredd.

Now I'm glad I went w not yellow kneepads :p

Haha thanks guys I literally went from watching the movie to reading like 4000 issues in the past 2 months so when I heard Karl was coming I dropped everything (including finishIng painting my wedding invitations  ) and came up with the idea to do the poster/ask for a reading.  A bunch of 10 yr old girls jumped in line to ask Karl for hugs, I thought I was gonna strangle em haha if I didn't get my chance.

What's also awesome is Karl came out with a row of cosplay judges, and gruffly told them they 'were a pass'. He's a good sport.

I asked Karl Urban to read it   Not my video, btw, credit to whoever posted it.  He didn't read the second page but it's ok

@Archie: lol just wanted to make sure....sometimes sarcasm is lost in txt

So, super cool beans, I got Karl to sign it yesterday with "Damnit, I'm a doctor not a judge"   He also signed my Dredd DVD.  Also got the funniest drokkin photo ever, I asked him to make a Dredd face and the rest of us made retarded faces haha!  Sorry about the large image, I'm on my phone.

ALSO met Bill Sienkiewicz, he told me about the new Dredd cover he's working on.  He also totally complimented my work and told me he would put in a good word for me and send my work along to the publishers!  It'll never happen but still

I know it's annoying though to get plagarized, I just wanted you to know I didn't do it on purpose =P

If it makes you feel better, a few days ago I did totally reblog your image on tumblr with the note that mine looked like a copy haha.  Small world!

As for those wanting a copy, I live in the US so it probably isn't feasible   If Rebellion wants to print it though, that's another thing 

Also originally I drew Dredd with Urban's likeness but I had to give him the chin :p

Archie: haha I saw that poster on tumblr and was like oh man same composition! :p I hadn't seen it until I finished unfortunately.  I can tell you that the idea to have Dredd standing in front of the Statue of Justice and Statue of Liberty is definitely ripped from Dredd America though it was meant to be a tribute.

Originally I was going to draw a companion piece to this one of Starling City (Green Arrow) to get Stephen Amell to sign it this weekend as well.  That's why I laid it out the way I did.  No time though

here's how it looks from the printers pretty huge, 24x36

@spaceghost: I think once you mentioned it, it couldn't be unseen

Nice pic! I just got into the comics after randomly watching the movie on Netflix, I think I've probably burned through like a billion progs in the past month.  That's super awesome that you got into the preview screening.

Just noticed you have the Dredd America image on your shirt too haha

looks awesome! i like the chin

if you finish it up, I think the eagle emblem goes on the left shoulder.

haha about the kneepads, I don't think it bothered me as much =P

I did a quick color in for the suit but I dunno if I like it as much, maybe it's the helmet

thanks! I just realized I forgot the "SS" highlight on his visor haha

because I'm totally delirious and sick and have been skiing I also drew this silly MSPaint thing of Dredd and Anderson as a break from the poster.  I like to imagine Dredd pizza'ing his skis down the slopes like a noob.

So I decided on a whim last minute to paint up a poster for Karl Urban to sign at a convention in Texas this weekend.  So apologies for lack of polish and creative liberty with the costume   Between work, travel, and wedding planning it has been difficult to put in the time this week.

After listening to an interview with Alex Garland about the original screenplay following Dredd America, I decided to paint up a tribute to the original comic using the movie uniform. 

Unfortunately I only have a little bit of time before it goes to the printers, but I thought I'd post what I had so far.

I'm going to try to get Urban to read the intro to Dredd America at the con and tape it, I'll let you know how it goes

I'm painting up a poster and artistically it will look cooler to have a numerical one.  I don't feel like I've ever seen it written that way though, except when it's abbreviated as MC1.

Silly question I know
