The Maxx and CreeD convention sketch


In 2000, I took a LOT of commissions and went to a LOT of conventions. This was right after I left Jnco, and right before I did a 6 issue run on Ghost Rider. I cant remember who this was for, but I kept a photocopy of it just in case I ever put together a huge sketchbook. So Ill be adding this one to the Omnibus for sure.

Frenzy

Before CreeD was Mark Farley, jumping around kicking skeezik ass in the dreamworld, I did a comic strip for my high school newspaper. I was 16 when I drew these, but something remained constant, and carried over from these strips into CreeD. It was crude, and childish. It was very "stream of consciousness" and it was offensive to some people at the time, but it got a reaction!
I only did 4 of them. The story about Sparky is true! Okay, only some of it.

New site updates, new contents!

Ive redirected Trentkaniuga.com, and Creedcomic.com straight to this spot in an effort to consolidate my websites. I've also decided to just post entire issues of CreeD to this place about once a month! Both sites will bring you here, where you can view my gallery of current works, and entire issues of the classic hit series, CREED from the 90's. You'll notice over on the right, there are some new buttons, please go there! You might be thinking "but Trent, I cant look at this, its too awesome to be free! Thats like stealing!" It's okay... it's there for you to share with people!

You'll also notice that I'm going to be updating this blog A LOT more frequently with old sketches, including the very first CreeD drawings. Pieces like this very first drawing ever of CreeD:
I was 14 when I drew this, and its not very good but... this was the image that inspired the whole series. Back then, he was going to be called "symbiote", and he had a more superhero kind of suit that came from space and fed on his anger. But then I decided that was too much like Venom from Spiderman, so I changed it. And so because I really dont like to only post images from when I could barely hold a pencil, heres one that I did a few years later thats much better.

Please check back frequently, because I found a WHOLE crate of these old drawings that I want to share with you. By Crate, I mean hundreds of sketches and unused covers with some great stories behind them.

Creedcomic.com

Ive purchased the domain, now Im just putting the stuff together! For the last year Ive been collecting, scanning, and remastering EVERYTHING Creed related to post as a webcomic for free online.
By everything, I mean everything from books, to production sketches, to convention sketches, and even a lot of stuff from my sketchbook thats never been published. Its been 15 years, and I cant think of a better way to celebrate!
