Red Sonja

Here's a preview of my Red Sonja cards for the upcoming set from Breygent Marketing and Dynamite Entertainment. Enjoy!

A Cow

Recently a friend of mine asked me to draw a logo for the farm he works on; it was important to him to show the specific kind of cows they use (Jersey!) and that they are grass fed. Here's what I came up with:

Convention Style Commissions

For this group of commissions I tried to re-create the atmosphere of a convention setting in an attempt to draw faster and more loosely.

At a convention, you have maybe a half hour to an hour to produce a sketch before the person comes back, while all the while people are talking to you, crowds are walking around, and a hundred other distractions seep into your work. The outcome (for me, at least), is a distinctly more free and experimental style than my usual fare. For the most part, I really enjoy working on convention sketches for this reason; they work an instinctual, more primal part of my brain.

With this in mind, I gave myself a half hour to finish these cards, no matter what they looked like, to see what the results would be. Of course, the recreation of a convention is impossible in one's own home, and I ended up walking around, studying the cards, adding to them, correcting them, taking a nap, eating a turkey dinner and so forth, until the cards looked more like a "regular" commission, somewhat defeating the purpose of the experiment.

Still, I think they came out pretty swell. Enjoy!

Sneak Preview

Here's a sneak peak of the new project I've been working on. What could it possibly be about? What does it mean? If you look hard and find all the clues, maybe you can figure it out ....

Unused/Unfinished X-Men Cards

While I'm stuck in a very special hell of penciling, inking, and coloring sequential pages for a top secret comic project to be published at some point in the near future, I thought I would take a minute to post some rare, unfinished cards from the X-Men Archives set.

For those that don't know, X-Men Archives became my last card set for a number of reasons, chief among them being the incredible amount of time each card would take to complete. In the end, I worked on what would become the "finished" cards for so long that I ran out of time for the other half inked or partially colored pieces that you see here.

In any event, this is the first time they've ever been seen by other human eyeballs...hope you enjoy them!

Not Quite Clobberin' Time Yet

Sorry for the lack of posts, folks! I have some big projects in the works that have taken up all my time...can't wait to share them!

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Cards

Here are some sketch cards from an older set that I completely forgot about...I've done so many of the damn things sometimes I loose track myself! For those who haven't seen them before, these were among my favorites...enjoy!
