Project: Rooftop Returns, with artist
Cory Walker's Supergirl Collection



As comic universes enter their own brightest days and heroic ages, the superhero fashion site Project: Rooftop (www.projectrooftop.com) returns in the new year with new work, a new site design, and new contributors.

Earlier this week, P:R posted a collection of artwork by artist Cory Walker (Invincible) showcasing various interpretations of DC's Supergirl character. Through several original illustrations and numerous sketches, Walker explores different costume possibilities for Supergirl. This will be a regular feature, with upcoming collections of different characters by other superstar artists in the comics field.

In addition to these collections, P:R is encouraging artists to submit their own redesigns of their favorite characters. Past contributions include Black Widow by Stuart Immonen (New Avengers), Wonder Woman by Jamie McKelvie (Phonogram) and the Spectre by Dean Trippe.

"Our concerted calls for redesigns of specific characters will return," said P:R editor Chris Arrant," but those will be on a limited basis. We're open to submissions year-around from artists redesigning characters of their own choosing."

Joining the eclectric crew than runs P:R are three new contributors who will help judge and discuss entries. Joining the fold are writers Andy Khouri, Tim Callahan and Jessi Reid.

Project: Rooftop is where cartoonists and illustrators bring their costume design skills to task in tribute to the superheroes and villains we've grown up with. This site is intended to promote the idea of superhero costume redesigning as a skill, specific to superhero media. We also aim to foster continued interest for these amazing characters and spotlight up-and-coming creators.
