Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I present to you…Katie Cook!

Katie’s work has been featured on Star Wars: The Clone Wars webcomic, Dark Horse Presents, and sketchards for Rittenhouse, Upper Deck, & Topps.

I was completely floored by her Mercury & The Murd Sketch (see above). We’ve had some quality artists work on Mercury & The Murd, and I consider us here at PKD Media lucky to have Katie’s rendition of our buddy-cop duo for the world to see.

I had my first opportunity to meet Katie Cook at the 2008 Pittsburgh Comicon while she was sketching at the Comic Geek Speak booth. She’s an absolute delight to talk to, and her artistic style is one of my faves. I have a Lando Calrissian sketch that she did for me which I hope to post on our site soon.

You can visit her website http://katiecandraw.typepad.com/ To see the numbers of projects she’s been working on, sketchcards for Rittenhouse and Star Wars, various sketches, tips on how to save your “prismacolor” markers and pictures of her pets as they attempt to take over the household.

Check your 2010 convention schedule and make sure you get a Katie Cook sketch. One day we’ll get an actual interview with Katie to post or maybe even for the “PKD Black Box” podcast. We’ll see. One day.

Until then, go check out http://katiecandraw.typepad.com/ and enjoy.

Remember, there’s more comics action tomorrow with “Agents of C.O.L.T.”, followed by Luke Foster’s “The Gang From The Store” during the weekend. Peace.

Starting next week, PKD Media begins its “FALL COMICS LINEUP!”

Not only will pkdmedia.com viewers get to check out new Mercury & The Murd adventures, but we’ll have some new comics, spotlights and interviews for you to check out as well throughout the whole week!

After the “Cosplay Order of Doom” storyline, Mercury & The Murd encounter action & danger like never before in the gripping “D IS FOR DEATH, SUCKA!”

Stop by every Monday and Tuesday this fall as Beck reunites with an old friend and is sent into a world of danger, intrigue and twists.

In this storyline we get a chance to go a tad deeper into Beck’s past, we are also introduced to the villanous business tycoon Mister D, his wicked henchmen, associates and a slew of new characters that play major roles in the PKD world.

Monday through Tuesday the brother with the funk and the man with the sideburns are back! Storyline by yours truly, artwork by Chad Cicconi!

Please check it out!

“Buddy Cop Fight!”

Granted, it hasn’t been touched upon since Murd & Lori’s short conversations in the first and second chapter, but it’s visible that whatever feelings still reside between the two, Murd carries it with him.

See you on Monday with more Mercury & The Murd! Have a great weekend. Peace and good times.

Did Lori survive the crash? You’ll find out those answers on Friday!

Remember to stop by tomorrow for the PKD Media Spotlight, focusing on talent from Indie Creators, Publishers, Artists, and Podcasts you may be sleeping on.

See you tomorrow! Peace and good times.

The third chapter of the “Cosplay of Doom!” storyline begins now!

What happened to Lori Paint after the “accident?”

Is Mr. Marmoset/Kane telling the truth about the Cosplay Fight Club?

And why do people insist that “Red Pop” is a flavor?

Some of those questions will be answered. Stay along for the ride every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!

Cliffhanger!
