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!

Merry Christmas!

Found this old Christmas card laying around...

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!

Zombie Linework

I won the Grand Champion Contest for last month, so it was up to me to pick the new topic for this month. I chose Zombie Self-Portrait. Here is the preliminary line work.

Magneto Sketch

Here's a sketch I did last night for another Pencil Jack thingy. The deadline was yesterday, so I only had about an hour to work on it. Bumped it out fast cuz I wanted to participate. Could have been a lot better, but I actually really enjoy the whimsy and looseness of the colors. I like the vibrancy and intensity of the color against the stark background. Wish I would have put something up on the ceiling so that you could tell we are looking at him floating. Should have put a shadow down below too.
I still have no idea what's happening in this photo. There's supposed to be a flower in his hand, but for some reason, on the web version, it's really hard to see. Oh well!

The Rest of My Submissions

...cont'd.







If you want to see some more of my submissions, the Guy Garner pages are two posts down. They were all presented in a nice package that I made up. I should take a pic of the one leftover, just so you guys can see my presentation.
