SLICE!!!!

Sorry for the lack of posting lately. This is a piece I did for My man Paul at "House of Secrets". Paul is the owner of my favorite comic shop in LA. He is going to release a comic with a whole slew of artists contributing a panel each. This is what I did. Paul Supplied the same paper and colored pencils to all the artists, so the book can have some sort of uniformity.

cheers!

Wondercon 2007

Hey everyone! I am off to Wonder Con. I will be sitting with my good friend Jose Lopez. John Nevarez was supposed to join us, but had to bow out due to unforeseen circumstances. I may have some of his books with me to sell for him though. Come visit us in Artist Alley. I will be taking pre-orders for our Whaleboy vinyl toy that is coming out and we will have the "actual" toy on display. C U there!

The Toy...

We just got the toy samples in, and with the exception of a few minor tweaks, I couldn't be happier. It's taken a bit longer than I had hoped to get them out, but I think it will be worth it. The toy should be getting here sometime in April, if I am not mistaken. I honestly thought we would have had them by now, so I am sorry. We are going to be selling them at www.whaleboytoy.com. Keep checking back!

Gunhead and Astronaut

Both done on the Cintizzle.

Cintiq sketch

?????? No real story to him, just experimenting with the Cintiq.

My first Cintiq drawing

I just got a Cintiq. and here is my first drawing on it. Just a quick sketch in sketchbook pro. threw some color, and then touched it up a bit in photoshop. I love, not having to scan stuff.

I still haven't calibrated the cintiq, so I'm not really sure how the color came out.

Oil Painting

A couple of weeks ago, I started taking a oil painting class at the LOS ANGELES ACADEMY OF FIGURATIVE ART with Rick Morris. It's a really cool class. Rick is awesome.

I figured that it was about time I get off my lazy ass and start painting. It's been a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time since I've really painted, and I am starting to like it.

The first class was a bit tough. I did a pretty stiff figure painting. It was quite uninspired. The second week I did this one. It's certainly not perfect, but I felt more comfortable with it. I figured that instead of doing a bunch of realistic paintings, I'd rather paint some figures, the way I like drawing them. Kinda, "Jacked up." It's more in line on how I'd like my paintings to be. It made sense, and I had a lot more fun.

This is a study on value using black and white paint only. I am finding for me that painting is a different mind set. I really need to take my time more, learn to slow down a bit.

Back to class tomorrow night. Wish me luck.

paparazzi

This is something I did as freelance a while ago. I have no idea if they ever used it.

Hi

I needed a break on friday at work, and just startd doodling this fella. He's not based on anyone in particular. I haven't been posting much lately, so I figured I'd put this up. C-ya!

Caricature Wars

Sorry that it has been so long since I've posted anything. I've been real busy with my new gig. I'm really enjoying working with some ridiculously talented artists John Nevarez, Sam Michlap, Michael Humphries, Kristen Lester and Greselda Sastrawinata just to name a few. Check out the links to their sites in my link list.

Kristen Lester has the habit of doing enormously funny drawings of her co-workers. The first one is of John Nevarez and Myself. I had to strike back. It's all in good fun, but my bud Carlos Ramos had good advice for when you caricature someone. Even if you love the person you are drawing more than anything in the whole wide world, you have to hate them for the time you are caricaturing them. It will make your drawing much funnier. You have to draw from your dark side.

POWER IN NUMBERS June 17th-24th

I am honored to be a part of this really great gathering of artists who are contributing peices for an upcoming gallery show. It's called Power in Numbers at Nucleus in Alhambra California. All the peices are in a 4X6 format and are priced at 100.00 each. A portion of the profits will be donated to the Red Cross. I'll have 4 maybe 5 peices in the show. Here is one of them. It's titled, "The Bitter End".

Paper Bag

Here is a quick sketch I did on a paper bag. I kinda liked the looseness of it.

NEW BOOK!!! Coming very soon.

Well, I just approved the samples for my next book. I should have it just before San Diego Comic Con. Here's the cover. I went with the same motif, but changed it up, enough, to make it different. It's the same size as Vol. 1.

Once I have it, it will be available to order here, just like my last book.

There are some photos of a Fantastic Comic convention that I went to in Calgary, Canada. Thanks to Kandrix and Laurie for having me. They did an amazing job and the convention was an absolute success. This was the first anual Calgary Comic Expo. Check 'em out at www.calgaryexpo.com/
