Hello all,
I've begun a project of sorts and thought I would let you all in on it.  As it begins to bear fruit I will post scans here.

Years ago, whenever I went to a comic convention or met an artist, I would ask them to draw a little picture over the Canadian $1 bill (which should tell you how long ago it was!  We have a coin now).  It was really cool - because each would have a creative "take" on the bill.  I only have half a dozen or so, but they are pretty neat!

My new "art challenge" for artists will be to create their interpretation of the classic "Three on a soda" image.  Veronica, Archie, and Betty.  For the Archie artists that I meet/contact - this will be the character set.

However, what if I meet artists that are not Archie artists?  Well!  In that case, I will still ask them for the the "Three on a Soda", but instead of Archie sharing with B&V - I'll ask them to insert their main character of the time in place of Archie.

So if I ever meet someone like Jeff Smith, it would be Veronica, Bone, Betty.  If I meet Frank Cho, it would be Veronica, Brandy, Betty (oooo....dang! - I hope I meet him!)  Smiley

It will be great to see how this project progresses!

I wonder what the Queen herself would think of the Canadian paper money project. Trina Robbins' is great!

Well....um....*theoretically* .. it's illegal to deface Canadian currency.
That said, I had no idea at the time and these are obviously removed from circulation!
 ... and I think that the Queen as Elizabeth Tailor is pretty darn cool anyhow!

Perhaps Her Majesty will overlook it just this once, in the spirit of good fun and shenanigans!

My project has begun in earnest!

1) I have Dan Parent doing a classic "three on a soda"
2) A local comic pro (Riley Rossmo) is going to have Betty and Veronica share a soda with his character "Proof" in a commission he is doing for me (Proof is a Big Foot that works for the CIA)

I'm also trying to contact all the other Archie artists to procure some art/commissions.

Question:  I am planning on asking Fernando to do the following commission - does anyone know if it has been done before?

"Three on a Soda - Jughead style"
Foreground is Jughead with THREE sodas that he is drinking by himself all at once with three straws.  Betty and Veronica are behind him looking annoyed.

I think this would be amazing!

That' s going to be a no...and Betty and Veronica looking annoyed. Maybe that's because they either want their sodas or they want to share their sodas with Jughead...beats me.

It's a nod to the classic three on a soda that always includes Betty on one side and Veronica on the other.  I thought having them looking on while Jughead drinks three sodas would be funny.

It strikes me as a pretty obvious gag - so I was wondering if it had appeared on a cover or pin-up in the past.   If not, it would actually make a great homage cover!

AWESOME!  My first commission was completed today.  It's from Riley Rossmo - the artist for an Image title called "Proof" - about a Big Foot working for the US Government.

He's also scanned it and coloured it, so once I have that image I'll post both my original art and his colour version.

It's really nice.

Here's the artwork by Riley Rossmo.

For those of you in San Diego this weekend, I believe he is also there - the comic "Proof" just published it's 10th issue (all of them on-time!) and there is a trade of the first story arc available.  It's from Image comics and I am not sure if he is in their booth or not.  If you see him, let him know you saw the "3 on a Soda" art he did!





I can't wait until I've had a couple dozen artists do these for me!  I need to contact one or two a month and see what I can do.
