At. Long. Last. :)

 
So, earlier this year, I finished up some work on a trading card for The Spoils.  I was pretty stoked when I was asked to do a card for these guys since I have friends from home who had actually played the game.

The name of the card I was asked to do is "Merbegon, The Insatiable Taxidermist".  He kills his enemies and then turns them into mounted trophies.  I thought it'd be cool to also suggest that some of his enemies' pieces become part of him... kinda' metal, I thought.

You can find out more about The Spoils, here.  The card I illustrated will be part of the Seed 3 release.

And it case it's not obvious...  Arcane Tinmen (owners of The Spoils IP) hold the rights for reproduction of this image :)

Hey folks.  Here's a logo I did for hotelhotel [a hostel (I know, funny name)] in Fremont, Seattle, WA.  And here's their site:

I've been there and it's a super-slick place.  The folks who work there are pretty cool, as well.

MADness...

Here's an image I created for the MAD magazine show at Urban Light Studios in Greenwood, next Friday (9.9.11). Here's some details on the show (Facebook page).

A little about the image: So, I've never read a single issue of MAD magazine... I was struggling with what to do for the show while sitting around in the library and I happened to notice an original copy of "The MAD Reader" resting on the shelf. I thumbed through it and found a comic-strip entitled "The Face upon the Floor". The illustrations by Basil Wolverton were fucking creepy. They drew me in and I had my inspiration.

My image is sort of a book cover idea for the "The Face upon the Floor"... I know that Basil's interpretation of the story is "black comedy"... but, hopefully, I've captured/re-imagined some of the creepy-ness of Basil's illustrations and presentation.

Along with my illustration, there will be several other artist's displaying work at Urban Light Studios... drop by and check out everyone's work!

A taste of things to come...

... something in the worky-works ...

Spin the Bottle poster...

Here's a small piece I did for the Annex Theatre Company in Seattle, Washington. Every first Friday of the month, they put on a variety show called "Spin the Bottle". It starts at 11pm with an admission price of 10 buckaroos. And, it's on the corner of 11th and Pike... on Capitol Hill, silly.

We pwned...

Myself with homies Paris Vega and Gary Hussey pwned this site, me on art, them on hard parts, Veron's Cajun Seasoning

Part Trois...

So, here's the third pen/ink experiment... With this one, I focused on making things dark and creating forms without using outlines.

Also, you can check out my and my friend Shaula's work at Bedlam Coffee in the Belltown neighborhood in Seattle, this Thursday. This Thursday is the Belltown Artwalk and lots of local studios and businesses will be hosting new artwork in their spaces for the public to come in and see: Belltown Artwalk

Shindig starts at around 7.00pm... good coffee, people, and art :)

Part Deux...

... in a planned series of three, wood-creature-centered, pen and ink exercises.

Showtime...

Hey folks,

This Friday is the Greenwood Artwalk in Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood. Urban Light Studios will be hosting the Potluck show... curated by my friend Solace. Lots of cool work to show and... it's a food drive. Check out the poster below for details on the many things going down for the show. Also, see below for the piece I will have in the show.



Here's the image, "At the Feet of the Meat Beast":

Bots Vs Beasts piece...

So, here's the piece I did for the Bots vs Beast show at Urban Light Studios curated by Nick Beery (recap of show). Lots of cool works done for the show as well as some live jamz by Supercommuter at the event.

The actual printed version of my piece has some copper acrylic applied to it... on those white emblems below the characters and around the borders of the image.

Still for sale... only one print, framed in a sick-ass frame. Will get a pic of it once I get the piece back.

Another show...

Here's the ad for the other show I've been asked to participate in during the Greenwood artwalk. This is a great lineup and should have some nice work on show. Come out and play.



... and here's a small snipet of the glories to come.

A show...

Here's the ad for the Good Omens show I've been invited to show in during the Greenwood ArtWalk in March... check out bherdclothing.com for more info.




Above is a teaser sketch of part of my final piece.




And here's something silly I sketched out for another piece for another show the same night in the same collection of studios.

Collabo-lab

Hola... my friend Solace and I are conspiring. Here's some progress.

Whoa, back-to-back...

That's right, been doin' work, today. Got in some sketchy-time with Sketchbook Pro. REALLY diggin' the program. After I did the sketch, I took it into PS and did a couple of things and added some color. But all the line work is from SBP.

Long damn time...

Been really busy. Lots of stuff dun got did... will share when possible. In the meantime, the Mac App Store just opened and I jumped on the Sketchbook Pro deal; 30 bucks USD. Not bad.

Been playing around with the app. Very fluid, will play more. Here's a sketch.
