Concept Paint

Wendigo vs Wolvie

This illustration came out of a technical question I had. It's just a way of working out solutions and trying to challenge myself. I started it back in febuary i think.

Commercial Illustration in Photoshop

Here's a video I posted on you tube. I had to shorten and edit it down to fit the time limits. Check the music too!

Storyboards of Yore

Japanese soft drink commercial.

Shooting boards of yore

Here are some shooting boards I dug up from a few years ago. i think it was an NBA ad but I cant be too sure. Not a sports fan.

Frisky Dingo DVD cover

This was probably released a few months ago but Im just now finally getting around to addressing it. There was little art direction on this job. As some of you how watch the show know there is no texture on Murderface's er face. I used a high rez photo of a femure bone which seemed to work nicely as a texture. Plus a little bevel filter here and there for the little imperfections.

Giant Retrobot

Yet another period of time has lapsed since the last time I put any work up on this blog. But as in life all things must end. Here's some stuff I did for my colleague Ken Lashley who provided pencils. I'm posting a black and white version because that was how I originally intended it to look but changes were made at the last minute.

Temple keeper

This one was done a while back. Im just now getting around to making a slide presentation. The drawing was done my friend Larwence Christmas and I was experimenting with some custom Photoshop brushes.

Samurai Vader

This one is from a collaboration between the great Ken Lashely and myself. Go check out his blog!

Sketch Jam entry

Here's a little creature called a Tree Dragon. I imagine that its about 4-5 inches in height, is a vegetarian, semi nocturnal, has no vocal chords for communication but is telepathic.

2025 Pin-up girl

This was supposed to be for a pin-up contest but I missed the deadline. I never quite finished it but thought I'd post it. I might have gone a little overboard with proportions and musculature but it's all fun

Dawud drawing

Here's a lunch time sketch I did the other day. Experimenting with some new Photoshop brushes I scanned it in and painted to try and work in some dimensions.

Coming Soon!!

Here's a piece I did a while back. SOme experimenting with scanned textures and layer effects.

Harry's Burrito Junction

I took this pic on a recent trip back to my home town, NYC. Back in the early nineties I got my first freelance gig designing a logo for my ex girlfriends boss. I won't embarrass myself by revealing the salary I made on it but I was happy to start my career with such a high profile. Little did I know back then that in less than 20 years my art would be roving around the streets of New York and San Franciso.

ASHY

Pee shy

This is a segment from a larger piece that I will post sometime in the newyear. I was laughing the whole time I worked on it.

HULK

I needed a break from the cutesy stuff. The Big Green Guy is one of my all time faves. This is a scan from my sketchbook that came out decent so I scanned it and colored it digitally.

MM Clubhouse covers

Ben 10 Movie poster

This is a job I worked on about a month or so ago for the Ben 10 movie. I knew it was going up on the side of the building and that it as going to be enlarged to about 18 feet tall so I worked at around 38 inches a t 300 dpi. which really slowed things down. But you know, I suffer for my art. hehe

Watercolors

Blade

Another sketch from the weekend.

Mum-Ra

San Diego Comic Con. Seeing and meeting all my contemporaries and childhood idols was a very inspiring experience. My inspiration has been renewed and I vow to return next year as a vendor. My flight home was delayed about 4 hours so I did a little doodling with my new set of warm gray Copic markers.

Snooooooop

This guy has such a weird face that I couldn't help but draw him and tweek it out a little. Its a quickie, nothing serious but fun.

Here's a value rendering of a personal piece that I'm currently involved in. I'll post further progress.
