Art is always evolving, take this painting for instance. It started as a quick monster face doodle then I threw long legs on it then I threw it in a closet and then drew a quick silhouette opening the closet which quickly became my nephew Conrad. And viola! Now it's this crazy image and I'm pretty happy with the end result. Funny, you never know where a sketch will take you.

Today I was asked to Demo an image for the Halloween Horror Nights Press event, I had around 3 hours from start to completion. It was my first time drawing in front of a crowd and had to stop frequently for interviews so I'm pretty happy how it turned out.
You can see more of the images for this years event at http://www.halloweenhorrornights.com/hollywood/2012/gallery.php

Gillman!

Finally finishing up some paintings and got to my Monster Squad version of the Gillman on a hot date in the classic Universal Movie setting. Even got the crew of the Rita on the lookout.

Cover Girl Updated

Got some free time on my Holiday break and getting some work done on this cover image for my art book , a few more tweaks and she'll be ready for print.

Cover Girl

Working on the cover to my artbook coming out this fall along with a few new pieces I've been thinking up. Skull face turned out to be a nice addition I like.



BTW I pinched a nerve in my lower back and have been in pain all day yet like a crazy person I still worked on this.

Coming this spring

ZOMBIE

Taking a break from some costume illustrations tonight turned into speed sketching and I ended up cranking out this crusty dude.

Wolvie!!

During my busy schedule I once in a while I am able to squeeze out a bit of fun like this Hugh Jackman Wolverine for My cousin's kid, Damon. I hope you like it buddy!

PINK!

Just been spending my free time dressing up some friends!

ORANGE commercial

Here are some costume illustrations I did for Michelle Martini for ORANGE a company over in Europe. They all are pretty much the same except for the Bram Stroker-ish vampire (I guess because he was hanging upside down) but I still like how it turned out. Here is the finished commercial below IN FRENCH!

More Werewolves: the sequel!

Here's the finished version. I hope you likey!!

More Werewolves

Just felt like doing some penciling tonight and messing around with some characters of mine.

SUPERDRUNK finally done!!

This is one of the last group Illos that I started two years ago* and I finally dusted this one off and finished it today. I had the idea of a drunk superhero who could only use his powers within city limits. I'm glad I'm done with it.



*FYI I spent about 8 hours total painting it, the gap in time from start to finish is because of a bad relationship going on at the time and these reminded me too much of it so I hid them away.

Grey Scaling!

I'm spending the day working on Wintermoon storyboards and greyscaling a bunch of them Later I'll editing them together on final cut with dialogue and music for a presentation package I'm putting together.

The Gunslinger

It took me almost two years to finish this. Damn I can't believe it but I finished it and boy am I glad to be done. This is another abandoned piece I got out of the way after life threw me a curve ball but I always finish what I start even if it took this long to do so. I'm sort of happy with it I tried some new tricks and don't know if I'm completely successful but you can decide. If you want to see the WIP check out the December of 06 posts.

Dinosaur ted and Bug a boo

Here's a couple drawings I did while I waited at Coffee Bean for a friend. He was running late and the next thing I knew had these two beauties done before I finished my decaffeinated Iced beverage. I named the dinosaur Ted and the bug Boo;)

Fluffy

Here's a Werewolf I designed for Uni about a year back. It's a tall costume and I had to design it around a person who wasn't going to be in stilts or lifts; and it was a bit of a challenge, notice the proportion lines. I'm a sucker for werewolves and it was the first one I designed to be fabricated so I'm really proud of it. I'll post the final costume soon.



UPDATE! I've added video of him in action. It's adorable.

HMMM....

Working on a new project thought I'd give ya a sneak peek.

Winter Moon Boards

I just finished the first draft of the new script I've been working on for the last couple months and now I'm on to the rewrites. But first I decide to give myself a treat and storyboard one of the scenes that has been stuck in my head while writing. I won't give any set up and just let the boards speak for themselves.





More to come...
