Fan Expo 2009

Another year of the Expo wraps up. Tiring, but tons o'fun! Sold more artwork and made new friends. I'm already planning for next year and am looking into expanding to other cons. Watch for me in 2010!

Here's me hard at work doing some sketchcard commisions...

and my sister showing off one of her paintings.

Now you know!

And knowing is half the battle!

Hey y'all! I've been meaning to post this for a while. A few months back I worked on a viral video to promote... you guessed it, "GIJoe The Rise of Cobra" from Paramount. Being a huge Joe fan, it was a perfect gig. We pretty much played with the Hasbro toyline for 8 weeks. Check it out here.

Let me know what ya think. Yo Joe!

Smooth Criminal

So I have finished my tribute piece to the "King of Pop"! There are four versions because I couldn't decide on the final look. I like them all for different reasons. Check them out here. Yes, I'm making you go to my other site... I'm tricky like that! Here's a taste though.

Also, the Toronto Fan Expo is just around the corner (Aug 28-30). I'll be in Artist Alley. Drop by and say hello!

Memories of a Legend

Michael Jackson
1958-2009

"His music will live forever."

Just the sketch work behind a tribute piece to the King of Pop. The finished piece will be up on my Deviant site when done.

Monster Manual

I used to play Dungeons & Dragons as a kid and still love the whole fantasy world. I thought "What if a show was based around the monsters instead of the usual Dwarves, Elves, Orcs, etc."
The idea is that each monster is an outcast from their race. For those unfamiliar with D&D, here's the lineup...(L to R): Owlbear, Ettin (2 Headed Giant), Beholder, Displacer Beast, Elemental, Treant.

These are the other element forms (air, earth, water, fire) that the Elemental character holds. She changes elements depending on her mood.

In the Works...

I haven't posted in a while, so here are some first run sketches on a couple of characters I'm working on. More to follow...

JLU Fever

This is what happens after watching continuous episodes of Justice League. I'm playing with pinup style sketches (still feel out of practice). The colour versions don't feel right without a clean line, but that's what sketches are about, right? And I suck at colour! Gimme back my blue pencil!

Resolutions

New year, new look. As with every new year I try to follow the same resolution...draw more! My plan is to draw every day...or every other day at least (hmm). So here we go...

I haven't drawn in a few months and as we all know it takes a bit to get back into the flow. For me, a good way to warm up is to draw "tha ladies". Trying to capture the curves and sexiness of our female counterparts is more difficult than drawing men. You can''t fudge the anatomy as easily. So here are some warm up sketches until I get my groove back.
