8o's TOY TRIBUTE SHOW!

Here is my artwork from the 80's Toy show, held by THE AUTUMN SOCIETY of Philadelphia... It's my tribute to CONSTRUX, a toy I personally love a great deal.. I formatted it within a Mandala, to kinda signify how zen-like it was to build with these when I was a young boy. Beyond a few printing snafu's I really like where this image was going and am entertaining the idea of doing a few more and making a series of them....so that I might design other parts from this toy line and arrange them in wonderful ring-like patterns...

If your off to the show snap some photos for little ol' me and let me know what you think of the work, or just shout out if you love CONSTRUX too.

Bearded Breatheren.....

No real rhyme or reason to it....he has a beard, and beards are great...Fiddled out this little cartoon whilst riding the NYC subway system through Upper Manhattan around Yeshiva University...

Hope you dig..

31 and COUNTING....

Yep, its the twenty-sixth day of the sixth month. My 31st year on this big ol' planet earth. I certainly hasn't been easy, but it sure has been interesting.. Big thanks, to my folks for making it all possible and to every person I've met along the way. Here's hoping that then next thirty one years are extra productive, full of happiness, and continue to be an adventure...
In commemoration of this day I've drawn....a bear....with a beer.....Big surprise eh?...

Hope you dig...

AU FEMME

Here's another study that I had on the back burner for a long long time....I figured I'd share it with you all.... Originally it was color, but I found myself displeased with how that looked when I cracked open the file today on a whim.....I figured I'd go back to monochromes and see if that improved the read, messed with the levels a bit and threw in the odd brush stroke here and there. Voila, I'm satisfied with it again...

So Check her out...Give me your 2 cents...
and as always, I hope you dig..

VisualVOMIT!

So I haven't posted much lately. Works been busy, I've been out enjoying the world and the company of good people, while all the while shooting out fiddly lil' drawings, on odd scraps o' paper....I committed some of these throw away drawings to my first installment of VISUAL VOMIT! basically a post where I chuck down some crud..... and in this case add a bit o' color... I've also been thinking a lot about some art stuff that I'll probably post up here in the near future but for now...I will assault your eyeballs..

Hope you dig...

She's hoping she can lure in a dance partner.... But, I don't think she'll have a problem... This is an old photoshop sketch with a little bit of attention thrown at it...in between projects...

Fear the Gearaffe!

My buddy Antonio Romero, has been working on independent comic projects for some time....Recently he's endeavored to stepp up his efforts and be even more prolific with his work, he's devoting lots of time to the endeavor. Very commendable...
He'd asked me sometime back if I'd contribute an image based on any of the characters from his book Super Duper Ham. I chose to render out this sketch of the Gearaffe, essentially a giraffe in a giant mech suit...AMAZING...I love him so much...

Thanks to Antonio for this great character.. It was a lot of fun to paint...

Hope you dig...

MIGHTY MENACING MODOK

So, Here's an image of MODOK facing off against Scott Summers. It turns out MODOK overheard some people talking about how "Optic" Blasts where superior to "Mind" Blasts. This led our favorite Mental Organism to sneak into the danger room at Xavier Institute For Higher Learning, and turn Ole' Scott into sizzling splattered Succotash...
Game, Set, Match. Modok.

BUSHIDO-DOK

MODOK gears up for his Manga Debut, with mighty mindblasts and his mystical mental sword. I again invite everyone to stop on by for a dose of this years MARCH MODOK MADNESS!...
