GuyAllenCreative Shop is Now Open!

Announcing the Grand Opening of the GuyAllenCreative Shop!



With the help of my good friend Asif, the shop is finally open for business! Just click on the SHOP button located in the header of the website! From there you will find original art and sketchbooks as well as other projects and rarities that I have worked on. Some of this stuff is pretty hard to find, so be sure to snap it up before it's too late!

I am hoping to add more original pages and products to the shop, so please check back often. Many items are in low quantity so don't hesitate.

Thanks
Guy

Matinee Eclectica Variant Cover

This is a limited edition variant cover for Matinee Eclectica, an anthology written by Ryan L. Schrodt and containing art from various artists. It is a project that I am very proud to be a part of. Not only did I do this cover, but I also have a 3 page short story in the book called "When Animals Attack." The cover art is a play on the fact that so many people read the title as "Manatee Electrica."

All lines and color by me!

Random samples

'Sup? Here are some samples I have made of two different properties. Can you name them?

L8r 2k10. I hate you. ~ Hi 2k11! I love you.

Been a while, y'all.

The end of 2k10 has kinda kicked my ass. Been sick 3 times in the last 6 months. Working too late at night. 15-16 hr. days non stop. Too hard for my own good. No breaks. Blah, blah, blah. Boohoo.

But it's all good.
Happy to work.
Still riding the chillwave.

Did some Gutters work, some sample pages for SEVERAL different properties (Can't say/show. Lame, I know.) and am trying to write my own comic. Not to mention my normal day job has been busy as heck.

Got on some peep's radars in 2k10, so that's cool.

Really looking forward to some major progress in 2k11 and for some "things" to finally be seen. I guarantee that 2k11 will be one of the greatest years of my life. I just know it!

In the meantime, below are some things that I CAN show you!

The first is a short story written by up and coming writer Ryan L. Schrodt It was done as a submission for Clint Magazine's Space Odditites. You can check that out right.. aboooouut..... here. This was a super fun story to illustrate.







I was recently asked to do samples for some possible upcoming Godzilla work. This is what I did. Again, super fun to work on. I hate doing pages for free, but on a job like this you can't say no!







That reminds me: My 2k11 resolution is to try and stay away from doing free art. Oops! Too bad I broke that resolution, like, 2 days into the new year. Oh well. It's being reinstated from here on out! I'm serious!

Happy New Year

Another Gutters Page!

Hey everybody!
I've been crazy busy lately working on things and trying to make some other stuff happen (some of which I'll hopefully be able to share here in the future!). I swear I'll make a concerted effort to start posting more sketches, etc. on the blog again:) In the meantime, here's another Gutters page! Head on over to the site and check it out! This was a fun one to work on!!!

In between now and the last time I posted, I have done several Gutter pages for Ryan & The Blind Ferret crew, so I want to say thanks again to Ryan Sohmer, Ed Ryzowski & Lar deSouza for the opportunity and for taking it all to the next level!!!! They made the page sing! Also, big thanks to Paolo at Cadence Comic Art for finding the work & being an all-around cool dude!

Here's a look at some of the line work from this page:




Until next time!

Gutters!

Hey guys
I just did an installment of Gutters written by Mr. Ryan Sohmer. It's a spoof called "11 Tips to Write like Garth Ennis." If you've got a second, I encourage you to go and check it out. The strip is pretty fantastic and is a great way to discover new artists (like myself).

Check it out HERE

PS_Also want to give a shout to Ed Ryzowski & Lar Desouza for helping to make my art look way better than it should! Thanks!

First Aid pt. 2

Had to see how First Aid would look with the new viewer, so I went ahead and converted it. I think this is a much better way to view the pitches. Any thoughts?

PS_Oh yeah! Be sure to see it in full screen view! Looks so much cooler!

Holy Crap! I was a winner for once!

Hey guys,
Recently, Comic Geek Speak had a cool contest in conjunction with artist Freddie Williams II. I was one of 4 winners for the contest! Unfortunately, I didn't win the Grand Prize, which was an in depth portfolio review/critique by Freddie, but it was still a super fun and cool contest and am so glad I got to be a part of it. By being one of the winners, I did win a copy of Freddie's book and also had a little interview on the podcast.

If anyone is interested, you can here the interview right HERE. I sound like I am from Fargo or something:) Check it out!

Anyways, below is the piece that got me into the winner's circle.

First Aid

Here's another recent pitch done with the very talented Sam Rugg. It's called First Aid. The concept is this: Every day, all over the world, people in first aid classes try to bring training dummies to life. First Aid looks at what happens when someone finally does it.

First Aid was another super fun pitch to work on. Sam is such a talented writer; so full of imagination. Look forward to big things from him! Pencils, inks, colors and letters by moi!

I hope you enjoy!

FUGUE

Hey everybody!
In trying to update the blog in proper fashion, here is some more newer stuff!

The following is a recent pitch I did in conjunction with super-talented scribe Elton Pruitt. It's called FUGUE and has been describes as Enemy of the State meets The Package in a “ripped from the headlines” story of a covert U.S. power play in the Middle East. It was a really fun project to work on and taught me a lot about my own working process. All art done by me. Letters by Jason Hanley.

I hope you like it!

Guy
