New business card!

So this is probably going to be my business card... you critical design types ( you know who are) are more than welcome to add any info that might help. I just wanted something that said "me" and yes there will be a "chick with sword" version sometime before the year is out.

Looking back

Was working on some projects and got distracted( as usual) and started playing around with some older images, working with positive/negative space. Anyway, a couple came out kinda' cool (to me, anyways) so here's an earlier Cap and a Red Sonja (in a very Timm style) so yes, it's come to this, I am now recycling old work...my laziness knows no bounds....

sketches and a post-it

Just wanted to say thanks to any and all that came out to the CAKE signing at Red Hot Robot. It surpassed any expectations I might have had and was really fun meeting and signing the books for everyone. I hope they enjoy the book and know how much we appreciate the support.

Red Hot Robot show

Well, this Friday we're doing a Cake release party at Red Hot Robot. As with my usual bouts of procrastination, I waited till the last moment to mention it. If interested, please link to Art Jumble where you can find out all the info. There should be food, drink, and all around merriment as we pat ourselves on the back for actually finishing something. There will also be prints for sale. I just finished this little number here. My kids liked it so I figure you might, too.

Jus' sketchin'...

It's so hot here in Phx. My works' AC broke down Monday morning and we've had the last two days off and was told not to come in tomorrow. I've been taking the opportunity and working on various projects, this was some warm up sketching I did earlier today.

Wonder Woman

I went for a Shane Glines look on this. I wanted it a bit cartoony. Eventually I hope to color it when I get a moment.

And on a side note, I think anyone seeing this blog ( again, all two of you) should head over to Harper Jatens' Awesome Blog. It's right there on the links. Just check out his Sea of Red drawings, and the colors! This guy should be doing a book like yesterday. You hear me , Jaten? Get to work!

Hulk

A couple of old sketches I did way back. Not even sure if I've posted these before....if so, sorry about that, just found some copies in an old folder and figured since the movie just came out...

The New Guy

A new Cap sketch from the sketchbook. Not crazy about the new design, but the series has been top notch, Brubaker is just too damn good. His Criminal series is just great, with very interesting articles and essays in the back about crime noir movies and novels. The man knows his stuff.

Sketches

More from the sketchbook. Also, the Cake book came in so feel free to head over to Art Jumble and order 1 or 15 copies of the book. The guys did a great job and I'm very proud of everyone's contributions and professionalism. There's already talk of a Cake vol. II and I will update as much as possible. For those that have already purchased a book, you have my thanks and gratitude!

Sketchbooky stuff

Some more sketches from the book, I figure it's better than watching the hated Spurs go to another Western Conference Finals....I would really like express my intense dislike for them but would probably come across as a little insane, although I'm pretty sure Robert Horry's soul will burn in a lake of fire someday, that's the only explanation for such a cheap shot artist to be rewarded with so many Championships....and yes, I'm a bitter little man......:)

slackin' again...

just some more from the sketchbook, need to finish some actual projects...

Another mermaid

Here's another mermaid and a Hulk sketch

Late, as usual

Well, crazy deadlines prevented me from participating in last week's Art Jumble, but I did manage to squeeze a little time tonight to get this done.

more sketchbook stuff

New stuff and a new look

Well, just like a proud owner of a mullet in the early 90's , I thought my blog looked fasionable and cool but was informed that was not the case and I was seriously out of touch with the current trends. So I started the change tonight, updated the look a bit, with more changes coming soon ( I still have to figure what I want for a title image)

The coming Iron Man movie's got me a bit stoked, hence the sketch, and of course ...a chick with a sword! The blog might look different but the content's pretty much the same, sorry about that.

Old Spidey pic

Have'nt had much time for sketchin' , found this in a folder so I thought I'd throw it up here.

New pic, same Cap...

Yeah, it's the same Cap from Ultron...I'm lazy like that...

Cap vs Ultron!

Image I did for AJ. I changed the bg color to pop the robot out a bit...

Sketch night

Some more random sketchin'.

Jus' sketchin'

Some recent sketchin' I did trying to come up with some ideas for Art Jumble. The bonus was I got to listen to some friends harp on the art and comic industry for a bit. No matter who you are, some days you just see some guy making it, getting a slap on the back from the good fortune fairy and you can't help but ask, "Why him?"

We can't help it, it's just human nature. You can be happy for said individuals 364 days of the year, but there's that ONE day when you read or hear of someone's success be it a promotion, some awesome painting they did, book deal, or even movie deal, and you think," Holy F ! I hate that guy!".....and then you hit the art table for another night thinking, if you're lucky, somebody might be hating on you one day...:)
