What is a “Shlepzig”

Shlepzig is the pen name for Sam Blanchard an illustrator and cartoonist making independent comics, prints, stickers, apparel, a lot of things. I am writing and drawing my own comics as well as work for others. I do original art, fan art, anime art, whatever comes to mind.

My Shlepzig.Comics Instagram page is the first place where all my work goes up Click the gallery to see all my latest work and my archives there.

My Shlepzig.NSFW Instagram page is where I post figure studies and pinups as the name implies there are nudes there. It’s NSFW

Frequent draw sessions are posted on the Shlepzig Twitch and Facebook. Get alerted through my Twitter and come hang out while I draw.

Last night I did a run at a 24 hour comic (in 16 hours) with the guys at #ComicBookJam (I had to work so I had to give up a bunch of hours...). I was not successful ( #dur ). I will post the in progress pdfs over on my Patreon. After a night's sleep I will bang out the last of the artwork and knock off some rough edges for another book. Thanks to @_sketchjutsu for hosting the challenge. Did this around ChristmasTime because, who else knows if you've been bad or good #TheShadowKnows 15 minute background (full clip) for the #ComicBookJam challenge @_sketchjutsu . In which I shall attempt a 24 page comic in not 24 hours, but in 14 (I have to work for the first chunk of the challenge time). Can I do a compelling background fast enough to make a page ever 30 minutes? 15 minute background, practice for the #ComicBookJam challenge @_sketchjutsu . In which I shall attempt a 24 page comic in not 24 hours, but in 14 (I have to work for the first chunk of the challenge time). Can I do a compelling background fast enough to make a page ever 30 minutes? New substack post on the nature of AI in our world today. I dont hate AI or AI generated content i just think its a pale reflection of the borrowed inspiration it used to build the training database. New Prints going up in my shop momentarily... Awesome printing the stock is really nice and the finish is fantastic (as little as 5.00). As suggested by @jerkcomic #Scud and for no good reason #PamGrier on letter sized cardstock. Redbubble has a great sale on hoodies. Follow my linktree link to Redbubble and get one of my many designs on a hoodie. If theres something in my feed you want but dont see in Redbubble comment and I will have it up ASAP.! New stickers coming to my Etsy Shop in a few days.... as low as 1.00 each.

Get a bit of Shlepzig for yourself.

I have come to the conclusion as an artist I still have material needs. I really need the support of others to keep myself in art supplies and creating the content you all love.

My books as well as prints, stickers and apparel are available on the Shlepzig Illustration Etsy Shop
