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.

Had a talk today with Dan Shahin at Comic Book News on Youtube talking about #DarkestImage with some of the other creators from the project. Awesome project fun to talk about it. Taking s cue from a recent post by @simply.fresh.art I thought I would take a stab at inking that legendary #FrankMiller #DarkKnightReturns cover piece.kinda cool. I don't recall inking another person's art like this. Fun. #DKR #DKRFanart #Batman Forgot to post the doodle of @lajoyce_mck and her hip tilt from a few days back. Just jamming on so many things I have a backlog of art to post. Some sinister #MarilynMonroe faces for a secret (non-Elvis) related project. #DarkestImage launches Monday. I'm in it, along with a jillion other super talented witers and artists in this fan made love letter to the #ImageEra of comics. PDFs available at www.ImageGrandDesign.com all proceeds going to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund #CBLDF Working on my leftover #KayfabeTober pages for each prompt. Day 2 is posted first #RainaTelgemeier #BlamAndGlam #DTIYS @RichardMorgan warmup inking this morning and digital processing on my stream. Yes I stream a lot of process, feel free to drop in Facebook Twitch and YouTube usually announced on my Twitter. @blamandglam Why am I drawing some badass #OldElvis ? Only @thick_comics @100percentcomics and @tonytexwatt know. All will be revealed in good time, another of my exciting upcoming projects. I ran out of room on the last post. Picked up this gem from @joemulv

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

You can subscribe to the Shlepzig Patreon and buy me a cup of coffee once a month to get regular access to high res images or sign up to get a care package each month from me.

International fans can get my books through my Author Page on Amazon/Kindle Print on Demand program so that shipping is considerably reasonable.
