Kickin' It with Cort

Take heart, Booster boosters! Cort Carpenter has filled the gap of new Booster Gold art this week by sharing with us his latest sketchbook commissions.

By my count, Cort has now shared with us more than 67 pieces of commissioned Booster Gold art (many of which you can see larger on Cort's Twitter and imgur accounts). I don't know how he affords them all. Maybe he's a secret billionaire. All the best superheroes are, you know.

In his email, Cort teased the possibility that he may have as many as five new commissions to share with us before the end of the year. I think you'll agree that gives all Booster boosters something to look forward to.

Thanks, Cort!

I like how they all have their little touches... I really like the smile and expression on Soo's, and Bob granted us an extra Skeets, and I really like how Ryan added the little fabric creases that maked it look like an actual costume and not just body paint.
And everyone added the collar!
I don't know if Cort mentions it or if we are just lucky there :)

I too love all the little details. How everyone approaches it differently.

I'm not a secret billionaire haha, I'm just very fortunate to be able to attend cons or have made good contact with comic artists who are willing to commission. Some of these I even won, which has been extremely lucky.

My plan is sort of to do a 100 style thing for Booster like hero initiative does for Spider-Man or Batman. 100 different comic artists tackling the same subject. Less about Booster (but it is rad it's Booster) and more how interesting each artist really is. How unique the perspective can be for art. Plus it's showing sort of an appreciation for a lot of the comics I've enjoyed over the years.

And the fun of it is, some of these artists have never and probably would have never drawn Booster so it's fun to see for that reason too.

As for the collar. I do ask. Heh, it's my favourite look for him. And first I encountered when I read him in the late 80s so it's nostalgia too.

"I'm not a secret billionaire haha" sounds like EXACTLY the sort of thing a secret billionaire WOULD say.
But your secret is safe with us.
