for O!

This is for my pal O! who has always been a good friend. its his great 8-bit art, I just Gif-ed it.

Hello All

Okay, when I see art online, sometimes it gets me down. But it shouldn't, art should inspire you as an artist. It should help you find out certain ascetics that please you, and help you make those artistic choices. Like that old bastardized art adage "young artists borrow, old artists steal." or something like that, but if you see some element you like try it out. This is within reason, dont make a career out of ape-ing some other artist. It's okay to follow an old master's lead or be influenced by another's style but not to be creatively stunted. Anyhoo, I recently did some art for my friend's albums, I am pretty happy on how they came out.

In this first one, I am stoked on the colors and how the clouds came out. which I borrowed from some cartoon I saw awhile ago, unfortunately I dont remember which one. the second one came out okay too, I was going for an ol' timey rubberhouse look, which I hope is fairly obvious.

SNAKE ABOUT TOWN?

That's right! There is a SNAKE ABOUT TOWN!!!

for those of you, who dont remember, in 2011, a cobra escaped the bronx zoo and painted the town red...in blood!!!

I case you missed it the first time!

POST 514- BHP STUDY

I am soon to start another comic endeavor, this time with an old and talented friend. This is his creation, the black hole patrol, and together we are going to bring them back to life. I am going to post more of my sketches and character drawings here as I begin to learn them all over again. The actual comic is kinda a long way off at this point but I promise it will be worth the wait.

thanks.

I have been using a random concept match maker recently, and this is the latest idea, a wasteland psychic.

508- in the summer the oils awake...

I started up an old oil painting that was hibernating for the winter. Has a long way to go. But that's the fun of oils.

507- Veggielution art show.

I did this piece for an upcoming at benefit for a local community garden. I am happy with it but might give it another try or add to it.

I have all my pieces for my upcoming group show done, and I am relived. This show kinda came out of nowhere, and caught me totally by surprise. I am really glad to be in it, especially with some really good friends. anyhoo, here are some more pieces that will be up.

505- art show

Working on paintings for a small art show with friends in a donut shop. First time for everything.

Post 504- still functioning

Hi, I have not posted for like a month and it seems like forever and in regards to the internet it is. I have been really busy lately with no clear focus in mind. I finished another segment of an animation I started a couple months back and have not had the time to scan it and put it into a loop. I have been doing a lot of what is usually called graphic design work, which is not my favorite thing to do, but must be done some times. I am working on a new mini comic, a more personal one about the rants and raves in my head...should be interesting. I am also collaborating with the good Dr. Josh Barone again, on a new desert island gag comic, should be great stuff. I am also trying to finish up on a boardgame with my good buddy O, which is a great game and just needs some polishing up. so many projects in the air, need to start knocking them down.

Here is a star trek comic i did for a trek cartoon site, enjoy! if you can!!
