BRENT ENGSTROM SERIES 1 SKETCH CARDS

A lot of Garbage Pail Kids artists do sketch cards. Sometimes they are used as "chase cards" which are offered in certain boxes or in other cases they sell personalized cards on their websites or Ebay. The sketch cards range from very simple doodles to colorful watercolor paintings and are highly collectible.

Not too long ago I noticed that Brent Engstrom started re illustrating the early series Garbage Pail Kids in sketch card form. This is really neat because you get to see the classic characters in a different artist's style.
Brent happens to be my favorite of the new artists so I thought I'd share his depictions of the 1st series characters.

He has also drawn many original characters of his own. All of these can be viewed on his blog:
