Acid Totem


This image was created as a small, quarter page show flier for my friend Rocky. I threw in some obvious marajuana and other drug references since it was gonna be that kind of show. But what show isn't that kind of show?

Drawing this made me realize I need to quit my job and draw more. My hands were shaky and my lines were not confident. What the hell is up with my life?

Going Strong


Look at me! Another week, another post!! Don't get your panties in a twist out of raw, unabashed excitement now!

I really like this image. I imagine my guy here slicing and dicing his way through a ton of baddies, probably while whisking himself over something impossible like a rooftop terrace or horses backs or something.

Rocket from the Crypt


I'm trying to pump some life into this little blog o' mine, but I have recently not had the time or energy to do so. I now have a pile of drawings scanned and ready to go, so I guess I'll try to post regularly until that little stockpile runs out (notice how doing new drawings did not enter the equation).

My beginning of the year blog post which promises more updates "soon" just goes to show how relative the word "soon" can be. Same goes for promises made to friends concerning hanging out, calling each other, or getting that fabled drink.

I started fooling around with some different character designs a little while back due to the nature of a project I was working on at the time. The designs I liked the best didn't make the cut, which actually works in my favor, because now no company owns them!! Huzzah! I started drawing this monkey character in this sort-of samurai get-up. He's a lot of fun to draw, and I get to be very gestural due to his loose garments (and morals). He doesn't have a name yet, but I wanted it to be one of those really old fashioned names (not necessarily Biblical) that has somehow worked its way back into being a modern, cool name.

DD - 2


Here are a few headshots of Daredevil out of costume, aka lawyer Matt Murdoch. These sketches were drawn from an article in recent issue of GQ about which topcoats to buy for this winter. Since I don't really have $1200 to drop on a coat, I just used the photos (which happened to be of Joshua Jackson of "Dawson's Creek" fame) for reference. Enjoy!

DD


Busting my butt to get some new samples together for NY Comic Con, which is in early February. I'm going to try my hand at some Daredevil pages and am currently doing some prelim sketching in an attempt to capture the mood of Daredevil and his environment, Hell's Kitchen.

Dragonlance Cover







Hi All,

I drew this cover for the Dragonlance Legends: War of the Twins series a few months ago. The War of the Twins is the follow-up to the series that I drew, Time of the Twins. I will not be doing interior artwork for the War series, just covers.

When I came across the colored version of the cover in the Devil's Due January 09 solicitations, I figured I would be safe to finally post this image on my blog. I'm really happy with how this turned out, as I think it colored up nicely.

As you can see, I've included a few other images to demonstrate the process that goes into creating the image, from initial thumbnails, tighter comps to final pencils. Enjoy!
