Art & Graphic Design by Joe Orsak
I just completed my first Blank Cover commission. Here are the steps involved, from pencil rough to completed full-color art.
If you would like a Blank Cover done by me please contact me for price and details.
My SHOW SCHEDULE is finished for the year and will resume in the Spring 2014.
If you are interested in any of my art, sketch cards or signed graphic novels please contact me at
the email link below. I do accept commissions, contact me for a current price list.
Here is a new set of sketch cards featuring the Doctor and his companions. Contact me if you want a set or see me at the next show.
I Just did this set of sketch cards for SCARE-A-CON. They are a limited edition, $5.00 each and
a set of all eight cards is available for $35.00. Please contact me if you want a set or see me at the next show.
The Summer issue of the ERB-APA (Edgar Rice Burroughs - Amateur Press Association) newsletter
is out featuring my KORAK, SON OF TARZAN cover.
The art on the cover is in pen & ink. I also did this special color version which I am selling in a limited edition of signed and numbered prints. You can order a print for just $10.00, shipping included, by contacting me via email.
This is a new book from my co-author Douglas Brode.
It's not a graphic novel, but I did do the artwork for the covers, front and back.
You can take a look here, Sunbury Press, to order.
Barbarella prints were sold at the Palace Theater and at Ithacon 38, but I still have some available. I am offering a very limited edition signed and numbered prints of that painting for $7.00 each. There will be only 35 prints available at the showing. I will have these prints at future appearances and they are available thru the mail. Contact me for details.
"This would be considered a good bet for fans of old-school horror mixed with the historical."

YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS: the Myth of Emily Morgan
"A mighty fun and entertaining old timey graphic novel."
The SF Site Featured Review
"This book is excellent for teaching children Texas history. This book is for general audience,
but the children will really like it as it is like reading a comic book. The full color illustrations by Joe Orsak are very nicely done and he is an excellent artist/illustrator. This book has an "EXCELLENT +" rating."
