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.

Thanks to @lalitaashx for the reference photo... great warmup for the day. Tis poison ivy sticker is on its way to my Etsy Shop... Submission for this year's #makosorority #makosorority2022 for @MakoVice which I had to draw as soon as it posted... #Dart #AtariForce #SketchCommission #GalaxyCon #WinterSoldier #SketchCommission from #GalaxyCon One of my #GalaxyCon #conSketches #BlackWidow Another #GalaxyCon #doodle #Goku from #DragonBallZ just kinda drawing what cosplayers were dressed as walking by hoping it would get me in sync with the crowd. Another #GalaxyCon doodle drew a blank cover of #NinjasAndRobots by @interstateninja and did the digital color after. Had it on display on my table and spent too much time explaining, im not Erik Klaus... props to Erik, the comic is great.. Another commission from #GalaxyCon this was really interesting. The client wanted me to draw his RPG character from a #traveller campaign (and I'm an OG Traveller player) and wasn't quite sure what he looked like. So we talked it through, and this is what I came up with. I learned the term #RocketPunk and developed the sliding scale of space opera grittiness (a scale of 1 to ten between Star Wars Tatooine (super gritty) and Star Trek Federation (spotless)

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
