The Art of George Pérez
"This is the finished cover for THE ART OF GEORGE PEREZ. I finally completed proofreading the captions and adding some new text and art so I think all that's left is a final proofing on the new stuff and this book will FINALLY go to press at last. Keep fingers crossed that it will be available at MegaCon!"

"OOPS! Another change in THE ART OF GEORGE PEREZ. The back cover was changed to the image originally used as the placeholder cover image for the original solicits. It does look like this new version will make the blurb copy a bit easier to read. It also adds my "adopted daughter" Shannon to the cover mix."

Moonlight Players 2011-2012 posters
"These are the rough designs for the program covers I will be drawing for the upcoming 2011-2012 season for the Moonlight Players. There will be seven productions in all, but the last show still hasn't been decided. Hopefully, I'm not letting the cat out of the bag by showing these, but I figured many of you like comparing the early concept drawings with the finished pieces. The names tagged on these are the directors of the respective shows."
GPz
"I'm not a religious man, but I've always loved the music for this show. Other than IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE, IT'S SUPERMAN!, this may be the only time I'd ever get to use the Superman insignia as a theatre poster element."
"I performed in a production of WILLY WONKA when I was still living in NY so I tried to find a design that didn't echo my previous art. The big candy bar seemed like a good design element (and who doesn't love Oompa-Loompas?)"
"The female shapes will be kept as outlines (again, not knowing who will be cast) and the background will be black) Also, the number '9" will probably be changed to the spelled out "NINE" on the back of the director's chair."
"When I actually draw the finished piece I hope to make it look like a painted wood carving."
"I had done a program cover for another production of DAMN YANKEES when I lived in New York. Like the original Broadway poster it spotlighted a full figure shot of Lola. I wanted to go in a totally different direction this time (plus I have no idea who will be playing anyone in the upcoming shows since no auditions have been scheduled yet.)"
"I remember seeing the movie BOEING BOEING starring Tony Curtis and Jerry Lewis when I was a kid. I don't remember what the poster art looked like, but I'm hoping I didn't repeat its design."

Comics Revue #300
"After experimenting on some private commissions, I decided to try my pencil tone-to color technique on a cover that would actually be published. On the left, is the original marker and pencil tone illustration I drew for the cover of COMICS REVUE #300. On the right is what it looks like after I digitally converted the grays to color. I think it makes for two very unique pieces. Hopefully the publisher-- and you all-- like the results.

George's Wedding Gift to his friends
"This is a scan of the drawing I did for the happy couple before I personalized it. It is ironic that DC Comics just announced a series wherein these two characters are at war with each other. The calm before the storm here..."

"Here's another exercise in grayscale to color conversion. This time it's the wedding gift I drew of my dear friends (and, of course, big time cosplayers) Roz and Rick. I'm hoping they'll like the color print as a companion piece to the marker and pencil original."
