Octoratty


This is an illo that I did tonight for a publication. It's very much in the vein of stuff that I'm drawing now. Take a look at Chester. :)

Aw Chester


While listening to a podcast, I drew this guy. I don't know who he is or why his body is exploding but I like him. I might use him for a comic eventually...

Here's some schmoe


This is a dude I have in a comic that I'm working on.

Back online and keeping at it


Hey folks,

Got my internet back finally. I've been working on a bunch of stuff for the SPX convention in Maryland. This is a story that I wrote and penciled last week. I don't know what to do yet with the background but I have an idea. Enjoy.

Note: The name Heathen is just a tentative title. In fact, the name Heathen has nothing to do with the story. I was drawing some characters for another comic.

News: Due to some technical difficulties, I'm putting the GE book on the backburner. Rather than try to fix the problem right now, I'd rather focus on something that I can do for SPX.

No internet access for a while...

Hey folks,

I moved to a new apartment in Brooklyn and therefore temporarily have no internet access.
:(
I hope to get it well before the end of the month.

Sample of comix 'On Relations Between Bodies'


After trying a bunch of ways of inking the comix and looking to Ted McKeever and Will Eisner's work for some inspiration, I think I got something that I like.

Spot illustration for the Indy


Here's the finish of the illustration for the Indypendent. I had posted the pencils before but obviously forgot to put the finish... :)

Cover for WIN Magazine


The War Resisters League is revamping the design of their publication and changing it's name to WIN magazine. Here's the cover I did for their first issue.

Here's Screwy!!!


This is Screwy the lightbulb. He's going to be the main character in the GE book. Cute little rascal. But be careful: his name's not Screwy for nothing. :)

A book on General Electric


I've thinking about this book for a long. [About 4 years.] It's only now that I've gotten the perfect subject matter to make the whole thing come together: General Electric. Here is a sample of my rendention of 'Neutron' Jack Welch. Needless to say, I didn't have to caricaturize him much. Just google his name and see for yourself.

I really want this comic to be a breakthrough for me as an artist. Here is the latest batch of approved samples. [Approved by me to be seen by the general public. :)]

Buenas Noches Comic


Here are a couple of samples of an drawing/inking feel that I plan to use with a comic that my friend James Spruill wrote a while back.

Ink test for upcoming comic


Here are a few ink tests that I did yesterday at the park. The comic is tentatively titled 'On Relations Between Bodies.' I took my time with each one. One thing that I learned - although it was always there in the back of my head - is to take my time with each piece rather than rush through it with the expectation that it will come out good.

Random severed head


As some of you know already, I'm a big fan of horror. It's been an uncomparable influence on me as an artist and as a person.

Sad Mic Suit


And apparently I have a fascination with sad looking people.

Old Stock Trader


I have a fascination with old people as I've come to realize when talking with a friend of mine.

Comix!!


This comic has been sitting in my head and in my sketch book for a while. It's finally materialized.

Comix!!


Here is a comic that I did recently. I'm working on getting more stuff ready for this year's Mocca Arts and Comic Fest.

A little of this and that...


I borrowed some library books on the artwork of Aubrey Beardsley and got inspired.

Look at her

I like doing weird heads



Here is me experimenting with color. This was done with inks, watercolor, and acrylic paint.

Royal pain on the ass

McSmash them up

Z boy

More color

Is that color?


I went through a box of artwork the other day and came across some pieces I forgot about. Although I'm a big fan of black and white work, I really like using watercolors. Too bad making zines of colored pieces are damn expensive.

Finally...


I started this drawing back in January and finally finished it today.

Experimenting


This is a change from what I normally do which is to either use a croquill pen or rapidographs exclusively. Here I used both.
