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 T witter and come hang out while I draw.

So in the midst of finishing my #RingsideThology pages and formatting a stack of sketch books for comixology and p,owing through Chicken I drew a couple doodles for @medibangpaint contests. The glasses Contest got Chicken as your Egg Store rep and some cute monsters based on the #peanuts in different styles.

So the sketchbooks are off to ComixWellspring for printing. Here is the preview video. Ill be posting the full PDF on my Patreon. Physical copies will be available on my Etsy shop in a few weeks or pick them up at Heroes Con in June.

Dear Instagram (and all social medua), I have notes on art history.

Preview PDF of the 30 Days of April ONeil 2022 Sketchbook going up on my Patreon subscribers. Print copies will be available shortly on my Etsy Shop or signed with me at Cons. Sketchcover version will be available as well.

ARTstreet the weird social web presence of @medibangpaint had a contest to make a maid version of your character. So... this happened.

A quick figure study from the #drawmoa @masters_of_anatomy challenge (thanks @jesse.lonergan ) and a digital process video. Trying out the new Time-lapse function from in @medibangpaint

Received my MAJOR AWARD from @adhouse books today. I am now updating all my business cards to read "Award Winning Artist!" Thanks to the cool folks at Adhouse and @jimruggart for the #Octobriana inspiration.

Sketchbook doodles of the fantastic @lalita_ashxx one of my favorite models for interesting poses and photos. I really fell in love with the curles on that pink wig she had.

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
