First Thursday comics domination (and some damnation)!

As part of Portland’s monthly First Thursday festivities, Matthew Clark has a show opening tonight at Vorpal Space entitled “Sketches from Hell.” Last month Jim Valentino had a show at Sequential Art Gallery and he posted a virtual tour of it. The First Thursday before that, Paul Guinan had a one-man exhibit called “Multimedia Man.” Periscopians and their pals continue to dominate the local gallery scene.  Bow to us!

Crime Bible art, pencils and inks.

Today we’ve got a before and after look at Matthew Clark’s work on DC’s recent Crime Bible miniseries: 3 pages from the book in both final inks and original pencils.

Matthew and Hobbes.

Matthew Clark is best known for his finely-detailed super-hero art. But during his run on Adventures of Superman, he occasionally got the chance to present his remarkable abilities as a mimic. Here’s one of our favorite examples:

More art from Matthew and Ron

Matthew Clark has put up some more of his art from the third issue of The Crime Bible



And Ron Chan has put up a ton of new art over at ronchan.net, including one piece that might be the most important drawing of this, the 21st century.

Matthew Clark’s first Thursday? Still on.

Like we said- he’s doing a lot better.

First Thursday • JUNE 1, 2006
Sequential Art is proud to present Matthew Clark’s HEROES?, a selection of his original artwork from the monthly comic series, OUTSIDERS, published by DC Comics. OUTSIDERS chronicles the exploits of costumed superhuman adventurers who break the ‘rules’ of the superhero establishment, thus blurring the line between the ‘good guys’ and the ‘bad guys’.

“Heroes?” marks Matthew’s third show in the Everett Station Lofts (which he also calls home), the first at Pause Gallery (Aug ’04), and then at Milk Studios (June ’05). His work was also part of group show at ArtBar (located in the PCPA) in Mar-Apr ’06, featuring artists from Mercury Studio, a collective of industry professionals living in Portland; Matthew is a founding member.

For First Thursday, Matthew will be in attendance to discuss his work and love of the comic book medium. Additionally, he will be joined by several members of the Outsiders in-person: Arsenal, Grace, Indigo, Jade, Nightwing and Shift (as performed by The Kids Your Mother Warned You About Players). They will be searching the Everett Station block for two of their more notable villains, and promoting the “Heroes?” installation.

Yes, you read that correctly. There will be live actors dressed up as The Outsiders running around the art gallery participating in a big scavenger hunt. If you are in Portland, you must go to see this.

The Sequential Art Gallery & Studio is in Portland at 328 NW Broadway #113. (503) 916.9293

Matthew Clark at Newsarama

Newsarama talks to Matthew Clark about his work on the Outsiders and how hard it’s been for Marvel to get in touch with him.

Meanwhile, Paul Guinan is at The Pulse, talking about The Phantom.

Matthew at the PULSE!

There’s a big, strapping interview with our boy Matthew Clark over at the Pulse right now. Very insightful, with lots of pictures you may not have seen. Go read up on that sweet action! Link to the Article
