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.

More Fun With Fashion

Fashiona

Another ink/ color experiment..... SNAKES!

What goes around....

Killings
(Pencil, digital)

Its not that I'm in a violent mood. Its more of a reaction to the cycle of violence. There are bigger ideas here but, simply put, violence begets violence. The rate at which it can snowball is crazy. Anyway. Its just a sketch with possible colors layed over in p-shop. I was working on getting the gesture of the soldier's body as well as his facial expression. Miami Vice was sold out for the 325 show. . . . . . . . . . . Crockett and Tubbs know about violence.....

Two

Main Characters
(pencil, digital)

The second installment of one-a-day is another concept piece for 5-Moons. Our hero and his sister, the main characters of the book.

Pull
(pencil, digital)

Ok, so I'm going to try one post a day for as long as I can handle it. One illustration a day - relatively complete....

5 Moons

Whats That In The Water?
(Ink & Digital)

A lot more graphic than i've posted here so far, this piece is a lil style test for a comic I'm working on Called 5 Moons. I've been bringing back chunks of how I've done comics in the past and liking it. I think it will work nicely for this book.

Don't Go In There

Mad Henry
(Ink & Digital)

Henry is a Lowland Tapir. Henry is wicked mad. Sorry.

Figure It Out

All My Legs

They Had Simmilar Interests
(Ink, Digital)

Here's the second Mike and Caroline piece.

Pulsing Blanket

Wolverine
(Ink, Digital)

I'm listening to the BoB Dylan - No Direction Home podcast, inking and coloring this lil Wolverine drawing. Don't Think Twice is my favorite Dylan song. Listening to bits of genius and how someone can experience bits of genius is fascinating to me. It seems like sometimes I can melt into a drawing mind and forget remember everything I need and forget anything else - a pulsing blanket of concentration.

In the Glass

Batman and Robin
(ink, Watercolor)

Blogging for me has been kind of like being naked in front of a window to a deserted back yard. There could be people out there in the woods. One might just look up from what they're doing and catch a glimpse of what I'm lucky enough to see every morning in the mirror before I jump into the shower. She might even stare, poke her friend and hastily point out what she can see but can't touch, wanting someone else to share in her hopeless longing. Then again, there could be no reason to look up at all because there are 3 million other people standing naked out in the snow trying to get the attention of these silly forest people. The market is saturated. So, what's a guy to do? Draw Batman. and then draw him with Robin. Why? Why the hell not? If i'm going to be naked, I might as well toss in a few hot turns. Afterall, I can still kind of see myself in the reflection of the glass......

Mike and Caroline 2

"They Shared Simmilar Interests."
(Pencil)

A finished sketch of the next installment of Mike and Caroline. They work pretty well together.

Mike and Caroline

Caroline met Mike on a Camping Trip Last August.
(Ink on Wood)


This is the first in a series of panels i'm going to be doing about these two characters. I really wanted to draw on this piece of ply I found in some blok's trashpile. The original is pretty big, at least for my scanner it was. It took four passes to get the whole thing in there. A color piece will follow as well......soon.
