Beer Cans and Art Jams

Did some sketches at Bob and Barbara's bar the other night with fellow cartoonists Michelle Miller and Jeffro Kilpatrick. We had a good time making fun of the d-bags who eventually crowded the place. If you want to view the whole set, you can check 'em out on my facebook page linked here. While you're at it, you should fan my facebook page if you get the chance or like my work.

Other Stuff

I finally colored the strength and weakness pieces of mine. They're one color, but I think it came out pretty nice. Maybe I'll try full color, but for now, subtle is the name of the game.
Here's a link to the previous post where you can see the sketches and inks.

Here are the last few sketch cards I'll be uploading here. I'll continue to throw 'em on the web, but mainly on my Tumblr.

First Friday

Hello y'all,
Another month, another First Friday. I was out with the COPOUT artists crew, passing out comics by the talented Billy Martin and Shayna Feinstein and selling some of my art (speaking of which, you can buy some from my web-store). Here're some photos from the evening:

And here's a warm-up from the other night of Sonic The Hedgehog:

Another Warm-up

Here's my morning warm-up for today:

I've been working on a few new comics. Going to have a crap load of stuff in the coming months, so keep checking back. On another note, I now also have a Tumblr site. Fan me on Facebook and check out the store!

Wampa Stompa

My brush warmup for today. Unfortunately I looked back at Empire, and it looks like Luke chops of the other arm...*sigh* oh well...

Warmup Lemur

Hot lemur in the city.

Bunnies

My friend Loh was talking to me about her pets back home, and especially about her bunny. This bunny apparently lives on it's own in her basement and is both blind and balding. She claimed that the mice ritualistically worship said bunny as some sort of bunny-deity. So my warm-up today consists of bunnies and mice.

S'more sketches

Some sketchbook pieces and warmups:

Sketching

Here are some sketches from assorted recent times in my summer sketchbook. Thought people might like to see some. The sketchbook is made out of mango paper from Costa Rica that my girlfriend got for me. I really recommend trying this paper out, it's really similar to the recycled sketchbooks they sell at most art stores. Ink goes down on it so well, so these may seem a little black-heavy, but I just loved the texture.

  

Strength and Weakness

Here's a piece I did depicting intangible opposites (to which I chose strength and weakness). I'm thinking on adding a color into each. Was a lot of fun to do actually. I began my internship with the Applehead Factory the other day which seems like it'll be a lot of fun and a great learning experience. I'll post some more stuff soon.

Strength

Weakness

 Here are the sketches for both. The type got axed in the strength one because I think the panels speak for themselves. So rather than me beating the crap out of a dead horse, I decided to go more silent. The "Fight" dialogue still worked as a compositional element and I don't think it took away from the page.

Life Sketches

Just some life sketches.
