"Tony Stark, Iron Man"

This was a small color sketch I worked up this morning. Who doesn't love a little Tony Stark, casually wearing his armor sans helmet?

October Art

Hello, all! It's been a long while since I last posted. So I thought I'd treat you to some recent drawings from the month of October. Enjoy!

New Art's Bubbling Up

I've been offline for a couple weeks, and thought I'd check in with tidbits. It's been a super-busy autumn, so far. A large new project has come along, so I've been sinking my teeth into that. Of course, in between those panels and pages, I've been sketching like a maniac. Above are some quick photos of drawings I rocked last Saturday, during a Los Angeles Derby Dolls bout. Also, there are a couple pieces inspired by a flurry of football games I watched the following day.


Oh, and the top image is a snapshot of my progress on "Coral Carnivore," from my process blog, Alphabet Attack. More to come on that piece and more, next week!


"Got the drugs, but need a hot one that'll make me go, 'Damn!' With the most banging guts that I ever have smashed! If you got it, push it up on me, 'cause I'm feelin' dat ass! Know what I mean? Where's it at!?"

Commission Crackdown

As much as I love this art powerhouse I'm running, It looks like I'll need to shut down one of my generators before it blows the whole operation. In the past year, I've been fortunate to have a lot of art collectors contact me for commissioned work. But now I've found myself with a considerable back-log of pieces I need to create.

While I appreciate everyone's patience in waiting for their drawing or painting, I need to tackle this windmill before it reaches epic proportions. With that said, I won't be accepting new commissions for the next week or two. Between the list of requests I've already got going, the new comic I'm making and other goodies I'm preparing for Wizard World Anaheim and TCAF, my plate is full. I'm talking Thanksgiving-plus-Christmas-plus-Seder full!

The downside: you'll have to wait a little bit longer to hit me up for that awesome Galactus drawing you've been saving up for. The upside: I'll be posting all the commissioned work I'm catching up on, right here on the blog! So this week, look forward to lots of strange new imagery. From Pulp Fiction to Star Wars to The Sandman, I'm about to knock out some serious bangers.

Scarface & Sketches!

Behold, my last customized copy of Scarface, plus some sketches from earlier this week!

On The Slate - Farmer C.R.E.A.M.

Be you frugal farmer or brutal drug czar, it all comes down to pushing your crops and making mad bank.

On The Slate - Farmer Bling & Black Dragon!

Today's offerings are some warm-up pieces... a cash-money farmer, and a dragon piece for my Dad. Been doing so much computer work this week, it feels good to move my arm around on some wet-media art!

"How you like me now?"
