Vampire Batman by Sam Flegal
I’ve been doing a lot of oil painting recently, and I’ve been under some tight deadlines. All of that is of course very good, but artistically I found myself wanting to explore. For whatever reason when I’m feeling artistically lost I find myself drawing comic book characters. Comics had a big influence on me and on my art, so it’s really no surprise I still like to draw them.
One piece in particular I’ve wanted to tackle was Vampire Batman. In order to change things up a bit I did the piece in pen and ink and then used colored inks to color it. I had fun doing it, and having it in my originals box has led to more comic commissions at shows, which I also dig.
Here are a few that I’ve done:
Elektra by Sam Flegal, model Leslie Gladney
Spiderman by Sam Flegal

About samflegal
Sam Flegal has been fascinated by the strange and the macabre from a very young age. Fortunately for his budding morbid creativity, he was raised in a household that encouraged his interest in all things weird—Sam’s father was a magician and his mother a ventriloquist and clown.
In December 2003 Sam graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, released out into the world to pursue his own strange art. Since that time Sam has vigorously summoned the dark creatures of his mind to make the unreal, tangible and the imagined, concrete.
As an illustrator for both book covers and games, Sam specializes in painting strange scenes of epic fantasy and graphic horror. He describes his art as “stylized realism,” portraying fantastical things in a comic book- like graphic manner, but with an eye towards real life. Sam’s preferred medium is oil paint.
Sam also uses his strange imagination to help others realize their dreams of undeath through the power of Zombie Portraits. Like a caricature from a dark carnival, Sam takes the living and brings out their inner dead.
If you are interested in having a Zombie Portrait done of you or a loved one, or if you are interested in hiring Sam Flegal as an illustrator, contact him at sam@samflegal.com .
