Oye

Been mega busy with works but this one slipped out in all the pixel work I’ve been doing.

Haven't drawn a bat man in far too long. Here he's being extremely mischievous. 

FEBRUARY - Lord Akira.

Continuing the 2015 calendar I'm making of comic book characters my girlfriend admires. All building designs taken from the insanely talented Katsuhiro Otomo. It was nearly impossible to follow his level of detail and organization of thousands of lines. To counteract the pain I felt rendering those buildings, I went a bit looser on Akira. Tried some screentone, ended up not applying it heavily enough, but was pretty pleased with the final result. You can track the months here.

Lobster Bird

This is a turtled lobster bird.  It’s a very sad combination of things that came to me while staring at a wall.  If you want to know, this is how most of my ideas come to me, staring at walls.

I have a new project in mind of some superheroes ordering drinks at a bar.  I plan on making this one in real life if you get me, and framing it all up.  This is a rough sketch of the Batman progression.

New art for a new mix, filled with 70s and 80s pop from The Other Side. Many of these artists have become fast favorites of mine (especially Akiko Yano, Miharu Koshi and Dip in the Pool). No 80s Japanese pop mix would be complete without YMO, as described in the album art. Anyway, enjoy! Visit my site! Visit my new, pretty blog!

Really enjoyed the first issue of All-New Wolverine in which Laura Kinney (X-23) takes up the mantle of Wolverine. She was a fun addition to the original crew in All-New X-Men, bringing 'oh so tough' I've been missing with no Logan. Hope it keeps up! Felt like drawing her gearing up into that classic uni.

Double Business

Working on an identity for DJ Lani Love, who also happens to be half of the fashion blog Sugar Rock Catwalk.  For the upcoming NY Fashion Week, she needed something that could do double duty, as she will be DJing the Independent Fashion Bloggers event and there as a representative for the blog.  Information overload on business cards is a tough thing to deal with.  I tried to keep it clean with a lean font and simple graphics.  As with nearly all projects, there ended up being a designer’s pick and a client’s pick.  On the internet, you get to see both!

X-Villainy

I've undertaken a project to catalogue all the bad guys in each X Files episode. I've started on season 3 since that's where I was when getting the idea. I've about 200 or so left to do... Poster series to come. You can check out detailed info for each here.

Graphic Booklet: Male Emotions

Further character study for the graphic booklet’s male character. I needed to simplify my typical facial style to pull out the highs and lows I was looking for. Since the character has very little to say in the story, I needed a very expressive, cartoony body capable of movement aplenty.
