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.

Jumped on the #artvsartist challenge thing on one of my online groups. I was scanning some stuff and pulled down an OOOOOOOLD sketchbook off the shelf and thought "why don't I scan some of this old stuff". There was only one Jurassic Park movie in 1993 when I did these dino caricatures of my professors at OIT. I wrote a random mashup plot seed generator which spit out a mockumentary style story about a wizard price helping a kaiju go undercover to find love in a human world. Got a big lot of 25c comics, which included two #supergirl blank covers so while I was nursing my sore back #oldpersonproblems I sketched them. Ill be throwing them up on my Etsy. Another fun and fantastic cosplay by @lajoyce_mck but something was missing. Traditional design would place them one place while anime informs us to place them higher. Ill let you all decide for yourself colorforms style (that's not a thing anymore is it?) If anyone was wondering what I was doodling during the Pink Buzz indie comics review 25th ep hootenanny this was it. A little #streetAngel Sunday comic.inspired by last weeks #RingsideThology drawing Jam. Prior to making the #RingsideThology strip, I spent a good chunk of tge night developing characters not knowing I would settle on #LaChicaTigre. Little strip from last weekend's #RingsideThology draw session. With tge crew from #ckrs A couple doodles yesterday and coloring experiments. Slide 2 is my brush practice.

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
