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...:)

Eddie Lives again!

Iron Maiden is coming to Phx. Not only are they coming, they are re-doing the set from their Powerslave tour. I saw this show when I was 15 or 16 and it made me a fan for life. I was actually moved to goosebumps when they reached the epic hightlight of Rhyme of The Ancient Mariner...it was that bad-ass. In fact, it was so bad-ass I've been rather disappointed they never replayed it in any concert I've seen since....till now.....

And yes, you can see the fancy shmancy ad I've got over here for our book . It's called Cake and you should order one....really..... that's all the pimpin' I'm going to do for now.

Whew! busy weekend..

another sketch page I did this weekend....

Canary and WW, inspired by J. Bone...

...wow , that sounded weird! Well, J. Bone is an artist and he recently did a story in the back of Darwyn Cooke's New Frontier Special. All around goodness in this issue and a nice companion to one the best DC stories I've read in years. J. Bone was Cooke's inker in the original series and they had him pencil the WW story. After seeing said pencils I hope they get this guy to do more. Great fun cartooning and style. Anyway, I just had to draw something after reading his story, ended up with a quasi Bruce Timm/Cooke thing with nowhere the fun that they usually put in their stuff.....oh well....just keep drawing, I guess....

More of red and some sketches

Some more sketches I did for the Red Riding Hood thread. I was thinking the guns; etc, would be different and the first post on Art Jumble had a Red with guns.....yeah, I'm an unoriginal bastard, what can I say. The other is just some sketchin' I did over the weekend...

Red Riding roughs

Some ideas I had for an Art Jumble.....probably won't go much further than these....until I put out a "Chicks With Swords" book.....C'mon, the title pretty much sells itself!

Sketchin'!

Finally got to go sketchin' with some friends. Nice to actually sit down and draw stuff....

Beasty

Did this for AJ, just glad to actually be doing some sketchin' lately...this year has been crazy already!!

Bar fight!

just some warm up doodlin'....pretty staged and unoriginal but I gotta' get all these bad drawings out of the way so I can eventually get to the good stuff......someday....

Cyclops

Just some goofin' around....remember when Cyclops was called "Slim"?.....man, I'm a big nerd......

scraps

ah...haven't been doing much in the sketchbook so here's some doodles from some scrap pages at work.

comic

Well, the slacking is over! Finally finished a comic I've been working on. It's a book some Art Jumble guys and I wanted to do and have been working on the the last few months. It will still be a while before this baby sees print so I thought I'd at least throw some sneak peeks in to at least show the doubters( mostly my family) that I actually finished something!

New Years Day

Garbage can? Check.

Cup of water? Check.

Minnie Mouse blanket? Check.

Inability to lay horizontal because the room won't stop spinning? Check.

Great New Years Eve spent with friends and family? Check.

Was it worth it?..............................................

Cap

Well, It's 2008. Figured I'd post an old pic I had of Cap, seeing as how he got killed off last year...

I hope to have some new images soon and some sneak peeks of a comic I've been trying to finish. It's not until you do one that you REALLY respect those guys that do it day in, day out.

Strange Girl

Been so busy with family, a certain comic project, and the holidays I have'nt had any time to do some sketchin' so I figured I'd post some older stuff from the 'ol pic files. This was part of some samples I sent to work on a possible project with Rick Remender. The series was finished not too long ago so I'm sure he won't mind me posting this ......at least, I'm pretty sure he won't mind.....

Invaders

Don't know why...been on an Invaders kick lately. Another from the sketchbook.

Black Canary

Some Timm influenced sketchiness....

sketchbook page

......wish I had more to say.....

sketchin'

Just some stuff from the ol' sketchbook...

Hulk

....still having computer problems.....

Elektra

Went really sloppy with this...trying some different things, it rarely works, but still gotta' try...

Destroyer!

A Timely comics guy from WWII . Invaders were some of the first comics I ever read and this guy with Cap and Union Jack just had the coolest costumes around......and yeah, I really use that pose too much...didn't even realize it...

sketchy crap....

I've been having serious computer problems and that's just one of MANY reasons I have'nt posted lately. So I just scanned a doodle page and some post-its from my work area. Not much, I know. I should have some things to show later......hopefully......

Cowgirl

I also posted this on Art Jumble, but all two of you who actually visit here will notice you're getting the special edition version. I cleaned it up a bit more and added some fancy drybrushes to it, and the jpeg is a LITTLE bit cleaner .......fancy, huh?
