C2E2 Commissions!

I had a fantabulous time in Chicago during C2E2 weekend. Many thanks to my friends at Nerd City, for giving me a home at their booth and providing such fun company all weekend long.

And despite grappling with a post-convention nerd flu, upon my return, here are some shots of the drawings & paintings I created for a handful of friendly collectors!

Oh, and this last little guy was actually a doodle that was on my airplane seat, when I flew out of LAX. I don't know who did it or what character it exactly is. But game recognize game, whoever did this has my respect. It's not every day that you get cool, cat-in-a-hula-skirt-playing-ukelele seat graffiti!

Commissions: CONQUERED!

"Bullseye #2"

"FBI Agent Dana Scully"

"Kerouac"

"007"

In a recent burst of "Stop Being A Slacker" fury, I finally tackled some long-overdue commissioned works. It involved a lot of Taz-esque spinning in a tornado around my studio. The cyclone started Saturday afternoon, and ended on Sunday morning. By the time the debris settled, I had churned out four new pieces. Whew!

I'm super happy with how these came out, especially since I got to employ some of the techniques I've picked up in my fine art works. To the folks who these belong to, I'll be contacting you soon, regarding shipping arrangements. To everyone, hope you enjoy 'em!

Next on the playlist: Stereolab, Emperor Tomato Ketchup.

In The Werks

Hey out there! Here's the next step of my latest commissioned piece, "Futhermore." By this stage, I've started laying in solid color ideas in acrylics and colored pencil. From here, it's all about pulling back and forth on the balance between light and dark.

Gum on the run!

New Commission in the Werks!

This is an early stage of a commissioned piece I'm creating for a collector in San Francisco. Fun times with violence, nudity, and heavy machines!

S.A.D. 26: Bot Pokkets!

What can I say? I've been in a roboty mood, lately. And I just had to throw in some Rob Liefeld-style pockets. Love me some pockets.
