This is a pencil sketch I did of my Mom and our new Baby- Blaine Walker Lenox at the NICU in Danville, PA after he was born on Friday the 13th (4/13/2012) with a small hole in his left lung- rest assured true believers, he is all healed up and at home as I write this!
Here is the inked “Villains” side of the Thundarr poster I have been working on for the last 6 months. Some great characters and ink work. I was really happy with some of my experimental textures to have so many over lapping characters look unique and stay separate while bunched up together. I really liked the lizard man’s scales and Gemini’s neck and head device.
The good folks at Gray Haven Comics asked me to do this to help promote the Anthology I am working on a piece for. This will be out in October, the below piece will start making the rounds sooner- enjoy! I took some of the images from the comic, and made a new image with a closeup of the antagonist who we didnt get a ncie closeup of. I tried for a minimalist inking for a different spooky look, as opposed to my normal hyper black and white detailed approach.
This is the final inked page (1 of 2) for Gray Haven’s GATHERING DARK antholody I am doing with Writer Tauriq Moosa, and Letterer David Paul. I made a change in panel 4 to hide the vanishing point, and also, I made a total change to the protagonist’s hand, face and head for the last panel, I think it looks much better- overall this page turned out pretty well. I also had fun with the minimal lines only background in page 7, I look forward to using that technique more in the future.
Some really great collaborative artwork from the “Through the Eyes of Grizelda” Team. Cat Silhouette of Grizelda by yours truly- Jason Lenox, Bad Ass Pentagram by Letterist David Paul and Dani Kaulakis Color Goddess with the digital merge to bring it all together!!
This is my finalist entry into the “INDIGLOW” black light art contest sponsored by RED BULL at the Nightclub INDIGO in State College, PA. The theme was to use a 4×4 gator board and take artwork that we entered on facebook in the preliminary round and make it a “black light” poster. I entered page 4 of the GREAT VERMIN short story. This was difficult since I dont paint normally, I dont like large surfaces to work on, and fluorescent paint is almost impossible to work with. While difficult, I was pleased with the final result- win or lose! So here are some progress pictures I took of the project from start to finish. If you want to come out and support me- the final event and party will be at INDIGO Nightclub located 112 West College Avenue, State College, Pennsylvania on April 4th at 9pm. To vote for my entry, you need to use RED BULL can tabs. Hope to see you there!
The second page of pencil work for a short story I am doing for the Independent Anthology Book : “The Gathering”. Items of note- I was pleasantly surprised with the hand compositions in panels 5 & 6. Also, this page had 8 panels to get all the assigned story in, I thought I was able to convey it pretty well with as much content that had to be compressed into this space. I also included a scan of my thumbnail as well to show the creative process from where I start on complicated pages.
