Here is the cover for my next upcoming Art Book…
Get ready for a kickstarter in the near future to support this project coming to life!
Cleveland Comic Con Commissions
Some fun commissions I did in Ohio at the Cleveland Comic Con!
Old Art 2001 – New Tee Shirt 2015
So the brothers at the Indiana Chapter of my college fraternity google searched for LION WITH A ROSE and found my website and asked me if they could use my old artwork to put on a college rush tee shirt- of course I asked for a shirt to wear, and we were good to to- so here is the old art from 2001 and the tee shirt they made in 2015- cool stuff.
The “FLY” Brundlefly Pencils
Another commission for a client- this one is from the 1986 Sci Fi film- THE FLY which had some great practical special effects with the transformation of the main character into a fly-human hybrid, the “Brundlefly”. So for this project, I wanted to highlight the creature which plays to my inking skills to really make the grotesque come to life, and I wanted to show the iconic teleportation pod.
From a composition & lighting viewpoint, I wanted to back light the creature and make some large dark areas of solid black, so you can see my backlit lighting layout in the blank spaces coming out of the right side of the Brundlefly and the left side is just a small lit outline.
So without further fanfare- here are my finished pencils for “THE FLY”
Judge Death Final Inks
I really went dark on this one and let my solid blacks build the forms to highlight the more detailed areas. I give you JUDGE DEATH!!
“THE CRIME IS LIFE, THE SENTENCE IS DEATH!!”
Baltimore Comic Con 2015 Commissions
Judge Death, Mysterio and Black Canary filled my docket for Baltimore this year, and Judge Death is getting the full ink treatment for a client – Ill update that as a separate entry when done!
MAD MAX 2 THE LORD HUMUNGUS – FINAL INKS
“There has been too much violence. Too much pain. But I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away. Give me your pump, the oil, the gasoline, and the whole compound, and I’ll spare your lives. Just walk away and we’ll give you a safe passageway in the wastelands. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror.” – THE LORD HUMUNGUS
The final inks really brought out all the elements of this pinup, one major fix from the pencils was getting the anatomy on Humungus’s left arm fixed. So without further fanfare- MAD MAX 2…
Bill Hicks Third Eye – Final Inks
This turned out exactly how I wanted it with minimal shading and bold lights in a field of darkness- the third eye sets off Bill Hicks face and gave it the otherworldly look It needed.
Prying open my third eye. x 10 with Bill Hicks indeed…
And a related bit of music from the Band TOOL about Bill Hicks entitled of course “THIRD EYE” … Listen here.
Wizard World Pittsburgh 2015 Commissions
From the show… some fun onsite artwork!
2015 Convention Posters- Using Manga Studio 5 & GIMP
Just an update on some of the promotional material I have made for my appearances in 2015- as well as the BookFest 2015 poster which I created the artwork for- the library did their own graphic layout on it, but I felt it should be included with this list of material.
