DPv REDUX

I decided to go back into this one. This version does a better job capturing the dark competitor's sinister brooding.....bwa ha ha ha! Grab that special edition DVD if you don't have it already. Its a good milkshake.

In Another Life

"When I was a child," he said, "I used to go hunting on foot with dogs, but I always dreamed of holding an eagle in my hands." - Aldenbergen Shalipov, Nura, Kazakhstan - from Kazakhstan's Eagle Hunters by Ian MacWilliam

Seaman

Is life really "better down where its wetter"? I have no idea. Not being raised by the ocean and visiting it infrequently, I'm not as familiar with it as your average costal dweller. Fear...there's a lot of fear there for me. I'm terrified of sharks and other fishes. When I'm in the ocean my imagination pretty much becomes an endless whispering Lovecraft novel. Letting me know that there are far worse things in the water than sharks and they'll probably get you when you least expect it. The great thing about fear is it goes great with art. I'm all for drawing diarrhea-inducing sea creatures from the comfort of my wobbly drawing table. The above sketch is the beginnings of some concept work I'm doing for Studio Rever's next film, Couchgarden. More than that, I cannot say....

Tracks

Hot on the trail of the elusive Giant Forest Cow.

A Plain View

Daniel Day-Lewis is brutally good. There Will Be Blood he is probably the best work he's ever done. And its definitely PTA's best film. Will there be better? I don't know if it matters....

Gone baby gone

Just a little ditty I did today.

MOONBASE

I've tried the new moon tilted in the air
Above a hazy tree-and-farmhouse cluster
As you might try a jewel in your hair.
I've tried it fine with little breadth of luster,
Alone, or in one ornament combining
With one first-water start almost shining.

I put it shining anywhere I please.
By walking slowly on some evening later,
I've pulled it from a crate of crooked trees,
And brought it over glossy water, greater,
And dropped it in, and seen the image wallow,
The color run, all sorts of wonder follow.
-Robert Frost - The Freedon of the Moon

Igor the Black Frog

I was up in Seattle right after New Years and got to see this guy do some live digital painting. He's basically nasty. And this is how he really dresses. He jumped up on stage at one point and modeled for a bit. Here's what I came up with.

PARTY WOLF

PARTY WOLF IS A BAND. PARTY WOLF CAN NOT BE STOPPED. EVEN BY THE LAW OR BY NATURE. OR THE TWO COMBINED. ULTIMATE WARRIOR LOST IN A FIGHT WITH PARTY WOLF. THE ONLY WAY TO BEAT HIM IS TO PARTY HARDER THAN HE DOES. AND THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE. Check them out on myspace.

Strange

Here's a bit of reality comics for you. This is what happens when you work out of a home studio. Things get nuts.

I'M HERE HUCKLEBERRY

This is another piece that was started for a client and finished for fun. Its all about the China-esque carbon emissions coming off his smoke wagon.

HEY MAN, COME CRAWL THROUGH MY HOLE!

I’d crawl through. You never know what could be on the other side.

THE TELLING

A sketch. The whisper of a piece. I’m going to populate the background with all sorts of shadowy figures.

IF YOU LOVE IT...

A little sketch I did while I was waiting for someone last night at Union Hall. Colored today in p-shop. I wonder if it will come back. . .

ASTROMAKEOUT!

By the year 2020 our fine administration plans to return to the moon with the intent of creating a MOONBASE. This is probably very awesome. It makes me wonder A: What does the inside of a space helmet taste like? B: Will Barry Bonds get to go to the moon? He could probably hit himself there. Right now. Its COLD in space Barry, wear your jacket.

KIRBY BALL

Kirby-Ball! A Kirby inspired astronaut. This originally began as a commissioned piece, but was rejected and then finished off for my own purposes.

AFTER TAXES

This is a SLIGHTLY more caveman version of me finding out how much I owe to the Man. This past year the IRS bent me over and took and took.

ASLEEP IN THE MIST

Argentinean Cloud Hunter

Nevis in Autumn

Nevis
(Ink, digital)

This is a quick sketch from the kitchen table of where my family and I stayed on the island of Nevis in the West Indies. I added color in Photoshop once I got back state side.
