The (much delayed) start of something beautiful...

No, your eyes do not deceive you. I am making my very first post. It only took me what, a year? More? Whoopsie.

I have not been so successful on this grand job safari, so to keep me from slipping back into a comatose state of misery and my brain from hemorrhaging any more than it has already, I decided to make fun fun fun projects for myself. Projects such as: redesigning book covers that I hate, reworking old pieces that I thought turned out unsuccessful (so, uh, everything from Portfolio amiright?), and revisiting things that I drew inspiration from during my artistic development.

But before we get to any of those, I thought I would give you guys a present. You know, because I've been so bad with keeping this updated. I guess I'm like a workaholic father who thinks he can buy his children's love with gifts. Anyway...



Yes, it's 100% amazingly accurate depictions of us. Why? Because you are awesome and I miss you guys. Souper Coollective indeed.

Keep your eyes peeled for more stuff in the near future.

P.S. Brendan, your T-Rex with a bazooka is magnificent. Stop making me love you.

So this is the first piece that I've taken to finish since I've been home and it felt pretty good. It's nothing too inspired... I really just wanted to draw a llama. The original is going to be donated to a charity event where it will be auctioned off to raise money, but I get a great self promo opportunity so everything's good.

Coolest drawing I have ever drawn. This one's for you, Chad.

Huzzah! I've been going to the zoo. Also, a drawing of a room.

In progress: I am trying a process update - pen work with digital coloring utilizing pastel textures created by moi. Any thoughts? Technique-wise especially..

I am going to do my "be sure to stop and smell the roses or they might get angry and steal your noses" story as a sequential single--page piece (so... 24 panels MAX).. some color some simple black and white. I want to display them large in a group show im doing in a month here in nyc.

So... here is some character/ environment design stuff that I've been working on that relates to a story I'm writing. Also, Brendan and Chad need to get their acts together... just sayin'.

Let's Get Motivated!!!

Here's some random stuff from my sketchbook... more to come in a few days :)

I think I may have been channeling Annelise with the shark....

I think some or all of you have seen the jellyfishies because I did it at the end of last quarter, but I put it up anyway.
