I have wanted to do this for some time. I would start on it, but never finish it. It would sit on my computer, waiting to be open again. When I do open it, I find myself starting over again from scratch. So finally, I said no more, this has to be done now. I handed the idea to my bosses at work and it got done. Today I received the very first copy of Hawk: Sketchbook #1. Here is the first look of the book.
Huge thanks to Arijit and Cita for helping me put the book together. The book will be available at ConnecticCon and Otakon under HawkStudios.

That’s pretty damn slick man. Congrats on finally getting it printed!
Will it be for sail at mega gear any time soon?
It will be available online sometime after the conventions. It will be sold separate from AG merchandise.
Thank You Hawk!:3
Links! We shall demand links when this hallowed event occurs.
Awesome, thanks man. It’s to be able to give support besides just clicking on the site everyday hehe.
I love your art, always have and its been interesting to watch your style evolve. I’ll be buying it.
Oh I’m definitely looking forward to buying it.
Great pics. I envy your insane drawing ability.
Fantastic! Any idea how many moneys it will be.
not yet.
You are forgiven!! ….this time… :D
…connecticon and otakon are too far away for me. -sigh- D:
i’m sorry *hugs*
Sweeeet! It looks wonderful. Congrats. ^__^
You do know we’ve got conventions in the Netherlands too right?^^ Congratz on the book, it looks great! No moneys to go to the the land of hamburgers and free refills but pleased to hear it’ll be available online soon.
thnx 4 all the great art so far and keep it up!
ps: batman still not out here……-_-
Nice stuff and congrats on getting it printed. Any plans to sell it through the applegeeks stor?
After the conventions are over, i will be selling them online.
You are frighteningly awesome, y’know that? Exactly why aren’t drawing for Marvel or DC? Seriously, man, you’ve got the skill to be one of those legendary artists like Jim Lee.
Not speaking for Hawk, but he’s mentioned in the past I think that working for one of the big publishers really isn’t all one would hope it would be. I’ve also seen this in my travels in reading comments from other artists, as well as speaking to them in person. He can be every bit as successful, if not more so (if that’s what he wants that is), doing things on his own.
Hawk your art is awesome.I hope you and Anath come to Chicago again soon.Are we going to possibly be able to buy a signed book off Mega Gear?
I will be selling them online sometime after the conventions are over.
aww gotta feel bad 3rd time he’s written that, very patient :)
Hawk, its good that you trusted your colleagues to get this done for you. Most artists tend to keep such a tight grip on their work and squander the opportunity to get it complete because of fears that it wont turn out the way they want.
You have the connections to make things happen - so use it to your advantage. Your talent needs to be experienced with as many eyes as possible.
how much are you selling them for? I’ll be buying one from you @ otakon. Hopefully you won’t run out before I get there!
i don’t have a price yet.
Eeeeeeeeee so cool! Congrats!!
YES!!! Finally Can’t wait to purchase mine!
Omz praise Hojo! I must purchase one!!! xD
-clears throat- WOOHOO!
‘Bout time!
I’ll take eight!
I am a crafty consumer!
okay, i’m really really curious…i know this has nothing to do with your rant, but i thought it might be included since it your stentchbook…but the creator of MegaTokyo mention in his rant that he sended a copy of Piro as Joker to you and didn’t post it due to horror image not suited for minors…mind sharing it?
sure. http://www.megatokyo.com/extra/ys0s3nsq1t1v3-hawkcolor01.png
Ah HA!!! So Hawk is Batman and Joker is Pyro!!! Makes sence now!
Would it be possible to have it purchaseable in a downloadable form? I understand the inherent risk of reproduction, pirating, etc, so i understand if no DL, but would love a digital set of images for my screensaver.
ah sorry, no downloadable. people have been making money off my work and using it without my permission. reason why i had to take down the wallpapers.
Makes perfect sense, and doesn’t surprise me. I’ll happily settle for hardcopy.
Have a price in mind at all? I hope when I get to you guys they arent sold out at Otakon.
i don’t have a price in mind yet. i will have a batch for otakon.
Cool. I’ll definitely see you guys there.
Will have to keep some money aside for the book and some prints if ya got em. :D
nice work, man!
I wish I could be there T_T Oh well, at least I could get them online :D
Is this going to be a limited edition thing again? I remember the line last year for the Eve figures. I got up extra early, was in the first 100 in the dealers room door and there were already 30 people ahead of me. oh and “drool….”
aha i was right =]
now how much?
I’m as excited for this as I am for the official comic!! I love the guy on the 3rd picture on the left. <3 You have a wonderful style, Hawk! *drools*
DARK HORSE FTW!
Effin’ NICE! Well done, man!
“I don’t want to do this for a living,” he says. :D
Gratz to you And Dark Horse.
Any chance of someone with no money for Air fare getting one?
