Back again….rugby!

Have I been gone all summer?  Here’s a t-shirt design I drew for my son’s rugby team.

I’ll post more regularly…promise!

Political thought of the day…Hilary, Obama and McCain

Something a bit different while I work on a few other projects. This came to me last night, so I sketched it up.

I’m sure to get some comments on this one…so keep it clean, kiddos!

Laying out the next story

Once again, I’m working on a twelve-page crime story for an upcoming Image Pop Gun anthology. The story is written by Derek McColluch. First, there is the rough layout.

Below that, the final pencils. Inks yet to come!

Studio cleanup

Chances are, you’re a more organized person than me. After an intense period of work, my studio is a mess.

I’m about to start on my twelve-page story for the Image Pop Gun anthology, and I want all my inking tools ready. That means cleaning out those tech pens, getting some new brushes and having it all easily within reach.

While I do that, why not check out some of my blog links? Besides all the guys from the neighborhood–Paul, Tom, Charlie, Zander and Cedric–there are some new additions. Ming Doyle is a young wunderkind. She has a story coming up in a Pop Gun as well. Her site has a link to her drawing blog, where she does her take on superheroes and the like.

Jillian Tamaki is an awesome illustrator, and “Skim” is her new graphic novel, coming out soon. She has some of the drawings from the novel on her blog–again, there is a link on her site.

And gizmodo.com is worth a check several times a day. Nothing to do with drawing there–just witty commentary on our electronic landscape. It’s not always kid friendly, but funny? Absolutely!

Have a great weekend.

More character sketches…..

Here are rough preliminaries for the other two principals in the Image story I’m doing. Here are “Mitch” and “Brenda”.

This just allows me to get a handle on the characters’ appearances before I start on the story.

New comic book work….character sketch

I’m just starting  on a twelve-page story for an upcoming Image Pop-Gun anthology.  The story is by Derek McColluch, and involves the misadventures of three criminals.Here’s a preliminary character sketch for one of the criminals–”Chuck”.–P.  

Sketch of the Day 3/13/08…Batman and others…

Line or Brush? Fooling around….

Here, I’m trying to create some characters with ‘tude. One is done primarily with brush, the other with a deadline of a marker.
