Just wanted to drop down some more art and say thanks for all the feedback and comments! I'm just posting some sketches this time + one colab between Tim Kelly and I. Tim and I did the roughs in Chicago whilst chillin in the Motel 2...ummm er 6. Also the post it's are a part of Cale Atkinson and I's daily ritual of drawing, that's us as Pirates! YAAAAARRRR. October should be a very busy month for me with work and other things going on in my life.

Cheers

Sorry it's been a while since my last post! So little things to do, and so much time.....strike that, and reverse it. Here's a few pieces that I've done in the past month. Thanks for all the feedback as well! I'll be back with something more filling soon. Cheers

Just thought I'd drop some more DC heros up here. Not too much to say other than I'm still getting stuff together for the con. Actually, I have to kick my ass in gear as it's only a few weeks away. Hehe, artists, such procrastinators! Cheers

Nananananananananana...BATMAN! Can never resist the temptation to sing that tune when presented to me. Not too much news to speak of. I've gotten my sketch books back from the printers, and they look pretty fine. I'll be taken them with me to Chicago in August along with some prints and original work. I'll try and post more work on here next week, as I've a busy week ahead of me. - Hat tip

Day after Canada Day, and it's back to the grind stone! Well, to be honest I work everyday, so I guess that saying doesn't apply to me. Currently I'm working on putting together a "Sketch Book" for the Chicago Comic con. Just going through this past years sketches and pics and deciding what should go in the book. I'm getting quite excited to go as well. Being able to meet Jess (hearts) and Tim is a highlight, and being in a huge area full of art is sure to fire up the muse. I've actually never been back east, so this trip will be one to remember. I'll be sure to take pics and post them when I get back. I hope to network a lot while I'm there, and nudge nudge some big wigs in the biz. Personally, I really don't like to do sequentials, but I'm very excited to do pin ups and covers. On another exciting note, the Sketch Tavern should have it's very first Podcast up in August. The crew will discuss news relating to animation/comics, a roundtable discussion and a q&a with a featured artist. This weekend I also discovered that wireless internet connections are a pain in the ass to hook up. So now, I'm taking that wireless router back in exchange for the good ol' full of wires one. Ah, isn't technology grand?

Thought I'd share a few newer pieces on this here Bloggy McBloggerton. The Mario piece was inspired by an artist friend and ST alumini Tim Kelly. If you haven't seen his work, do so, it's fresh and wicked in style and color. Tim Kelly's Work: http://timkelly.deviantart.com/ With the Mario pic, I went in a new direction, trying to keep the line of action flowing thoughout the characters design. I also applied this to the Pee Wee Herman pic, which was done for the Sketch Tavern's weekly jam. The last pic was done for the Invincible Handbook, published by Image Comics, which will be released at the San Diego Comic Con in July. The handbook is a collection of artists doing all the characters from the Invincible Universe. It's a must have if you are a fan of the book! On a side note, if anyone out there is going to be at the Chicago Comic Con in August, Tim Kelly and I will be there with fellow artists Jessica Plummer and Ian Seniff, pimpin the Sketch Tavern. Be sure to stop by and say hi!
