Dr. Sketchy's

Some artwork from Dr. Sketchy's the other night. 5min-20min poses. The model, Lacey NhicDoom, kicked ass!

new sketches

Some sketchbook sketches I colored in a little, and a piece I did for the Hallway Show of Lone Wolf & Cub. I'm also working on a poster for the Alberta Street Fair that I can post in the next week or so!

Gillian Anderson

I couldn't pass up a Gillian Anderson illustration for this week's Hallway Show. My time-management lately has been awful, working my way back to being productive! Have some sketchbook stuff lying around waiting for some scan + color fun... within the next week I will have new things to share.

Jamython available for purchase!

So hooray! My artwork is now officially published in a novel Jamython written by Kirsten Laulainen! There are 8 pages of illustrations I did for the book (just fyi I did not do the cover art). I previously posted a preview of the art and some words about my experience working with Kirsten on this project.



I am excited to soon receive my copy of this book and would gladly recommend it based on the excerpts I was able to read as inspiration for the art. "This is not just another vampire story...it is [a] shot to the head. Don't think twice."

Photoshop Rework

So I decided to grab an old sketch and use it to practice some Photoshop painting. I normally keep all the pencil line and paint underneath it mostly but for this I'm painting on top of it just to work on a more painterly Photoshop style and experiment with color and brushes/textures.

This piece had been painted in acrylic but I think I kind of killed the fun of the initial sketch. So here's my start for the second attempt!

Holy Divah!

Celebrating the epic-ness that was~ Dio.

Stumptown Comics Fest

I had the pleasure of attending the Stumptown Comics Fest (my first con experience! - it was a good one :) !) today and got to see a lot of amazing work and people all in one place! I went to some of the presentations and was able to get some interesting info out of it, as well as the chance to experience a short Dr. Sketchy's session!

These are the drawings that came out of the 45 minutes, and it felt great to do some figure drawing after a long hiatus from it. I will definitely be investing some money in attending these worshops on a monthly basis (only $10 for 2 hours, not bad right?), but unfortunately I won't be able to afford the special session tomorrow night with Paul Pope DJing and the same model Miss Harvest Moon from the drawings below. Next month though...!

Were-magic

Just cranked out this quick little sketch and did a little playing in PS. Might do more with it later.

Hello Again

Pumping out an update here because I've been so MIA lately. Working on a top secret comic project right now, but I can't forget to sketch and paint and say something!

First of all I'd like to make note that the Art in Hand - Portland Project has a fan page up on Facebook here so check it out and become a fan to stay updated. Super excited for that to come together and to enjoy all the festivities at Art Hop in May! (You can check out my piece a few posts back, I did the 10 of Spades...of course my card would have been epic if I had gotten to do the ACE OF SPADES...another time!)

So here I shall now delight with some fancy old sketches, I'm sure eventually to inspire some fully fleshed workings. More to come :)

doodle + sorcerer

I declare this one done after letting it sit around a while. And a doodle at the top.
