Jedi Pin-up!

I've just gotten caught up on the first season of "Clone Wars", and I'm in a Star Wars frame of mind, I guess. (The weapon of choice is my Cintiq; the ammo is Photoshop!)

Potter Model Sheet

OOP! I almost forgot to post this model sheet I did just before SDCC. While I was pencilling those Potter pages, I just got to noticing how cartoony they were looking (I was inspired by the work of Matt Humphreys, who has a "Dirty Harry Potter" gallery on deviantArt that is incredible, to say the least.) So naturally, I thought, "What if I DID make Model sheets for Harry Potter characters?" More to come... maybe...

A stray logo...

Here's a logo I did for Kelle Masten, a lovely and charming young lady who I knew back in college...

Wonder Woman Day IV

On October 25th, 2009, the Wonder Woman Museum will hold it's 4th annual WONDER WOMAN DAY in Portland , OR and Flemington, NJ. The event is a charity which includes both art showings and silent & live auctions of original WW artwork; 100% of the proceeds go to benefit shelters for victims of domestic abuse, which is a damn good cause. Check it out at: http://www.wonderwomanmuseum.com/WWDay4/WWDay4.html
Although I first heard about it last year by way of Rashad Doucet, my friend DJ Jackson was the one who persuaded me this year to contribute a piece. It was a bit of a headache (mostly because due to DC Comics' being kinda itchy about digital pieces, they were adamant the submissions had to be hard copy w/ original work; I had to print up a digital copy, then retouch it w/ paint and marker!) Still, it was fun to do, and cool to see DJ get some of his work out there (motherfucker did THREE wicked-ass pieces in marker in the time it took me to do one!) Once I sent the original off, I went back into my digital version and added the same highlights using Photoshop; I like it much better this way.

A Public Service Announcement: DON'T DRAW DRUNK!!

Here's a sketch I did for my dog Tom Kelly while we were at Hennessy's Drink-and-Draw in San Diego last month. The place was packed, and they gave us these cool coasters to draw on while we knocked back Jim Beam & Cokes.

I came up with the idea of a recruiting poster for the old Shi'ar Imperial Guard from the Claremont/Cockrum X-men books. I used the old character Fang (I know the costume isn't right, but The Jim Beam was a-pouring, so you must forgive me!)

Thanks to Tom for sending me a scan to post. I may re-work this; it's a pretty interesting idea (as drunken ideas go!)

Bobo Sketch for Wendi!!

Oops! I almost forgot!

This year at SDCC my boy Tom Kelly brought his girlfriend Wendi, who's cool as hell. When she wasn't working w/ the Hero Initiative, she was the life of the party (which is saying a lot, considering she was hanging with us!) In addition to that, she is (like myself) an avid fan of James Robinson's STARMAN comic run from the 90's; she even has a sketchbook of artist's renditions of characters from the book. Of course, I said I'd add a sketch, but never had a chance while we were all out west. So one of the first things I did once I got home was to draw up a shot of my favorite character from the series, Jake "Bobo" Benetti...



I wasn't going to post this until I was sure she got the original in the mail. It got there just in time for her birthday, and she's happy with it, so I am, too. Happy Birthday, Wendi!

Mullins Anthology piece

So here's the submission I sent in for the anthology they're doing for Jeremy. I swear to God this actually happened a year and a half ago, when Jorge De La Cruz and I were having breakfast with Mullins at Clary's cafe in Savannah, GA...

Damn, I miss that Unclefucker...
