Drawing

Some more stuff I'm putting in my zine for APE...

working...

I'm going to be at the APE convention in about a month and will have a booth with some friends from up north. Subsequently I'm working on a bunch of stuff to take with me...it's going to be a crazy next 4 weeks. Here's a work in progress! Excuse the iphone picture...scanner down.

003 and more...

So here is 003...my teacher Daniel suggested I try doing one without filling up the whole page. I'm pretty happy with it, the negative space type was fun so I'll probably use that again for some other stuff.

The Gene Shallot painting was for a celebrity portrait assignment...I'm pretty happy with the results. Some of the colors aren't totally there for me, but considering how little I paint I think it was a solid first portrait effort.

This is a work in progress, I'm just stoked on the drawing. More pieces soon!

002

Here it is!! I'm working on some more pieces that should be up sometime by next Monday or Tuesday. In non-illustration news, my band Swordfights played the scene in Glendale last night and it was awesome...there's a ton of photos and a video or two that were allegedly taken so I'll put some of those up as soon as I get my hands on them.

Comic-Con 2009

Comic-Con was crazy! I spent the majority of my time stalking the independent publishers and artists in the small press section and met a lot of awesome people while shamelessly plugging my own work. Amidst the dozens of panels I went to I found a little bit of time to bust out the sketch book.



As a side note, my personal highlight of the weekend was at the screening of the Green Lantern animated film on Thursday evening when Bruce Timm led a chorus of 5000 or so in the Green Lantern oath. Pure, unadulterated geekiness. It was awesome.

001

So here is a proper scan of the first one...i'll be at Comic-Con for the next 5 days, but if I find a scanner at my friend's house I'll upload 002 sometime tonight or tomorrow. If not hopefully by sunday.

Freaking Finally!

Pretty much finished! I'm going to scan it in later but I wanted to put it on the internet because I heard that validates me as an artist. Significant Cities 001...

Also, I've been super obsessed with the movie "Brick" (2005, directed by Rian Johnson) because it's awesome, so I made a fake comic book cover for it. The likenesses are more accurate in spirit than physical form, but whatever. Cause it kicks ass.
