Call Of Duty Mural: Phase One - Allied Invasion

Hello folks, and welcome back from Thanksgiving. I hope you've all recovered from your food comas, and are as eager to attack the remainder of 2012 as I am.

This week, I'll start posting photos from the Call of Duty mural I created at the Santa Monica, CA office of Treyarch (the game developer behind CoD: Black Ops 2 & more). This first section of images focuses on the wall depicting the Allied invasion of France. Enjoy!

Stay tuned, as I'll be posting more Call of Duty Mural images, later this week!

Stone Knife

This is where all my "Dangerous Women" pieces started, kids -- "Stone Knife." I did this skate deck commission last year, for my boy Mat from the Frenchpulp crew. He was kind enough to work his photography magic and shoot some quality documentation of the piece for me, all the way from Lille, France. Many thanks!

Stone Knife

I've been working on this commissioned skateboard deck for my friend Mat, in France. It's been a lot of fun, employing this "drawing with paint" technique that I've been developing. In a lot of my recent fine art pieces, I've been trying to get further awayfrom a standard illustration style and put more of an emphasis on just painting.

More to come soon!
For now, Bunker out.

Drawing for French Commission Collage

My friend, Mat (frenchpulp.com), lives in Lille, France, and commissioned me to create a piece on a blank skateboard deck. So I did this drawing on a large piece of sketch paper. It's, I suppose, my imagined fantasy of a French girl. She's smoking, of course.

Anyway, I'm gonna tear this up, then collage it down onto the deck. Afterwards, I'll paint into it a bit, but keep her portion of the skateboard mostly black & white. Her part of the image is very urban while, on the remainder of the deck, I've drawn a tropical scene of palm trees and rolling mountains. That's where I'll use the bulk of my color and painting chops.

Look for more pics as the piece comes along, ya'll.
