Color This!

From the amazing mind of Illustrator/Fantastic Dude Justin Gray comes an adult themed coloring book as a part of his big upcoming show in Philadelphia. He was kind enough to ask me to do a couple of designs for it's pages. Please have a look, and if you like it, contact Mr. Gray and he just might be able to get one into your hands! Thanks for looking!

Sketchbook...

Some samples from my most recent sketchbook...



Technology scares me a little bit.



Sketch for the digital painting, "The Seeker".



Sketch for The Academy of Art University's 3-D animation desktop image. This is the image (modified in the final) that the poor students had to see as soon as they turned on their computer...for a whole semester. The final included lots of delicious pustules taking over the mutant cyborg slug's surface. Juicy.





I did this drawing for a group of students at AAU who were doing a collaborative video game project. They needed a character that would fit into a western steam punk environment for a FPS they were creating. (FPS is short for first person shooter for all you non gamer folks out there). They were quite happy with the design.











Hadn't picked up my colored inks and brushes for a while. Decided to paint this happy floating dude. But where is he floating off to? I still haven't decided.





So I have gotten some comments on the above piece and most want to know if I wrote the story to go along with the image. I cannot take credit for it. Here's what happened...I was at a friends house in Oakland eating some home made fried chicken, sweet potato pie, playing video games, drinking beers etc. I broke out the sketchbook halfway through the day and cranked this drawing out. My friend's friend was there and was interested in the drawing and I handed it over to her and asked her to write a story for it. She happily jumped in and left me (us) the story you see above. I was pleasantly surprised. I hope you enjoy our little spontaneous colab.



I'm pretty sure he will be in a painting at some point...





Strange dreams of floating over the ocean in N.J.



More peace. Less bar codes.



Hope you enjoyed!

Afternoon walk with Bones.

Bones summoned a laser from out of the sky and vaporized a friendly neighborhood tree. He's a bad, bad, man. Here's some street art and textures I came across.





















And this is how the day ended...

Sneak peek!

The first image is an old sketch I dug up recently and decided to turn into a finished digital piece. Here's a sneak peak of the work in progress...it's the tongue. Ewwwww...

Theater Production Poster

This poster featured one of my mixed media pieces for a theater production of Robert Caisley's War story "Front". The play ran at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA. The original piece of art mysteriously disappeared after it was photographed for the poster. Lame.
