Wow this blog looks clunky!

GREETINGS PEOPLE OF EARTH!

So you wouldn't know it by the amount of activity on my blog, but I've been quite busy. I've got several projects that I'm knee-deep in, and it feels great to be working on stuff that I truly believe in, and can't wait to share! While I can't talk about most of what I'm working on, I can go ahead and share a couple things that I really shouldn't share, but am going to anyway, because I'm silly.

Actually, I'm sharing them because, while they're only test strips and not going to be apart of the official project once it launches, they feature time sensitive jokes that, well, people probably won't get or enjoy as much a year from now...which is when they would otherwise be seen (included as bonus material in a collection or something). And I like the jokes I make to be gotten when they're their most funny. I know...as I said, I'm silly.

So here are a couple of comic strips I cooked up for a webcomic project I'm working on with a long time friend and former movie review website collaborator, Ron Hogan. He actually had nothing to do with these particular strips, as he's busy writing stuff that's way funnier. I just used these as a means to see how the characters looked in the panels, and if I needed to do any tweaking. And I do, but I'm getting there. Still though, I like how these turned out, and I'm really enjoying the process of developing these characters and ideas into something that I think people will really enjoy reading.




Oh, and about the blog. After a couple of weeks away, I come back to a mess. I shouldn't be surprised...after all, I made it. I don't know what I was thinking either. So I'm gonna take some time here soon to clean it up a little, and only put up what's necessary. Blogs should be fun and easy to use...that's my motto.

Okay, back to work.

Blog of Eternal Sketch


Sup gang?

So in my last post I mentioned that I was starting a new collabo sketch blog with my buddy, Dustin Evans. Well, we're not two weeks into the new project, and we're both still digging it big time! I see this thing running for a good long while, so if you enjoy my work, or enjoy fresh artwork updated twice a week, go check out and follow the new blog.

Today's theme is Don Bluth's Space Ace. We've been paying homage to Don Bluth all week (on Monday we did Dragon's Lair pieces).

BTW: This weekend I will be sharing a table with my buddy, Hai-Na-Nu Saulque at WonderCon in San Francisco. If you plan on attending, why not stop by Artist Alley table AA-037? We'll have fresh copies of our art book, plus some brand new Street Fighter themed prints! Good times are going to be had...indeed!

Started a new collabo sketch blog...

So I completely forgot to mention that I started a new sketch blog with a buddy of mine, Dustin Evans. It's called The Blog of Eternal Sketch, and it will feature new art from both of us every Monday and Friday. It'll be themed art, each of us putting our slant on the same topic.

All art will be available for purchase, and is being done on high quality 9x12 Bristol. The price for each piece will be $55, which includes US shipping costs. The pieces are being sold first come first serve.

This is our first week. Monday's theme this week was Little Red Riding Hood, and tomorrow's theme is...well, you'll just have to go follow the blog to see for yourself! Here's a little teaser of my piece for Monday...

Mermaids and Deadpools


Here are a couple early shots of two commissions I'm working on. I'll post the finished versions soon.

Busy busy...

Got lots going on right now. The rough sketch above is a quick thing I put together for a project I'll be starting next week with a buddy of mine. I'll announce it all official like when the time is right.

Still doing design work on a cartoon project by my buddy, Mike Kallio. It's coming along slow because I'm not loving ANYTHING I'm doing with it. The style just isn't right, and I'm stressing myself out about it.

Also putting the finishing touches on a project for an old high school buddy of mine who is looking to become a golf instructor. I'll post that stuff when it's done.

Lastly, working on a really cool Street Fighter project with my studio mate, Hainanu Saulque. We're looking to unveil it at WonderCon next month. Until then, here's a sneak peak what one of the pieces. It's the line work for the hero of the franchise, Ryu. Enjoy...
